So .. guitar into Input 1 of the QC. Setup 3 amps in the preset. Output 3 the final destination. Regular guitar cable from output 3 to the FX return of my Orange Rockerverb or my Mesa Mark V.

Was super quiet.

I tried plugging a dummy cable into the front of the amp and into the send of the amp FX loop as well. Still super quiet.

All of the output gains on the QC were at 0dB, everything should've been unity. QC claiming it was hitting -10dB to -14dB on the output. But what I was hearing was whisper quiet.

Only thing I can think is, I was powering it with the Crux, and it wasn't getting enough juice somewhere along the way. But I only had a few minutes to test it, and gave up in the end.

That was the story of me hoping to use my QC at practice last night.

Might be the stupidest of all questions but was the Crux set to 12v? I’ve accidentally had mine set to 9V before and it screwed with the levels.

Gonna slap myself silly if it turns out to be that. Will report back.

Wait, did we switch from talking about noise to talking about actual signal at some point? For the first half of this post I thought it was good news.
