Hello, I can’t get my outboard FX chain to work as a send/return on the CQ12T.
– Stereo source on inputs 1/2 (linked)
– Outputs 1/2 (linked) to guitar FX chain input
– Guitar FX output to the dedicated stereo input pair
When I send inputs 1/2 to output 1/2, and assign the dedicated stereo input (FX return) to master out, I get a feedback loop. I’m clearly missing something simple, but no amount of routing assignments seems to stop the feedback. Thank you in advance!

Yes, you assign the output to the input. The feedback is there before you route it to the master, but routing it to the master makes it audible.
Rethink your signal chain.
Plug your guitar to channel 1, send it to the FX with output 1, take the FX chain on 3/4. Make sure 3/4 isn’t routed to output 1.
On an analog mixer you would not turn up the FX aux send on the channel that same FX is being returned to the mixer input, that would create the same kind of internal feedback loop.
You are correct. I didn’t realize hitting “send to” opened the page for all sends on all channels (doh), and missed the fact that I had the stereo return sending back to output 1/2. All good now.
Mike C – To clarify, I said the stereo return was sending to master output, not 1/2 output. Had I known it was sending to the master AND 1/2 output, the problem would have been obvious.
