Hi guys,
First post here and I wish that it wasn't to post a help thread.
Anyhow, I just received my SYN1, SLO, Metroplex and TDLX. None of it seems to be working correctly. I am attempting to use it in my Friedman BE100's (2017) FX Loop.
So here's whats happening. With it connected to my amps fx loop(fx loop engaged) and no modules inserted, I am getting no sound at all. The bypass light is on so I assume that there should be signal passing through the SYN1 input and out to my amps input via "To Amp In" jack. When I insert the SLO module I am getting it's CH1 sound! It sounds great. When I choose Ch2 I am getting a very weak signal that sounds like it's on the verge of cutting out completely. Also worth nothing that with the SLO module, the bypass light is on and cannot be toggled on and off, but it is on so one would think it should be bypassing the SYN1 all together. But it's not because I am getting sound from SLO CH1.
With the Metroplex and TDLX modules, I am getting no sound, what so ever. Not even the SAG light comes on when I strike the guitar. I do get the SAG light with the SLO module. With these two I am getting the ability to turn the bypass on and off but again, there's no sound with it on or off.
To dumb the connections down even further, just to see if it was something that I was doing wrong, I connected my guitar to the SYN1 input and XLR out to my UA Apollo interface. I am getting no sound this way either.
Also worth mentioning that I have swapped out the 12AX7 in the SYN1 with a working one and it's the same deal. Even tried known working tubes in the modules and still no go.
Anyone have any suggestions??
