I think I finally nailed down what my problem is with the effects loop on my Triaxis. I've been running my effects in series (preamp->effects->power->cab) since I got it because I thought my effects loop was fucked up. So, the other day, I was playing around and got ambitious again. I plugged my BOSS Super Shifter, which has a single input and can be used with stereo output, into my effects loop. BTW, for the unknowing...the loop on the triaxis has 1 send and 2 returns. Every time I plugged something in for 1 return, it would just kill the volume, basically making it un-useable. So, like I said, I plugged the Super Shifter in, and ran it stereo output (into both returns) and it worked fine!
With my G-Major, it has 2 ins and 2 outs. If you use 1 in (mono), you can't really use 2 outs...unless I'm missing something about that, but AFAIK you can only run mono or stero...not mono-into-stereo. Going from my send (mono) to the G-Major and going from both outs on the G-Major to the returns on the Triaxis still yeilds one signal and cuts the other...basically, because there is nothing going *in* the second channel on the G-Major, I would assume.
So, the solution seems to me...in light of my experimentation...that in order to bring salvation to my G-Major, which I had all but given up on until now, is that I need to make that 1 send on the Triaxis into 2. I understand that if I were running a MONO effect, then I'd need to split the output of the effect....however, I'm wanting to use a STEREO/DUAL-MONO/ETC effect. The manual for the Triaxis, in the back with the setup suggestions, says to run out of the send into the mono input of the effect unit and go out of both outputs into the returns...but it doesn't seem to work like that with the G-Major.
I hope this all makes sense...so, suggest me a method of splitting the signal. As far as I've read in the manual, nowhere does it say that I can remedy this problem with a 1/4" TRS Y-cable, so thats why I thought of this solution. I *SOOOO* want to be able to use my effects loop! I'm tired of settling on running it in series, and having it eat my tone as much as it does! HELP!
