After reading the effects loop section of the manual multiple times, watching multiple videos of effects loop functionality on the kemper, and reading other user threads, I haven’t solved this issue.
I’m attempting to route my external board in my chain. I’ve selected the “x” section for my effects loop. Here is my chain.
guitar>front input>effects loop (100% mix, 0 ducking, 0.0 volume)>direct out/send>Life Pedal V3>Bit commander>data corrupter>rainbow machine>avalanche run>return input> monitor output.
My issue is that when the effects loop is engaged, I have no audible signal. When pedals are active I also have no input signal. I’ve verified all my cables, power, and routing multiple times in this chain. When ensuring I have a solid connection on the return output, it seems the kemper is attempting to make a connection as if it were a loose 1/4 connection. This isn’t always the case. I do have output and volume while adjusting ducking and mix, but no pedal functionality.
I then factory reset my device and attempted this with a fresh factory reset rig. The issue persists. I’ve also attempted to use the stereo and distortion outs and have attempted with one pedal in each of these.
Message displayed in output section is “direct out used for effects loop.”
