Darkglass B7K Parallel Output is giving a processed signal. What am I doing wrong??

[slaughterdan23]

I have a Darkglass B7K v1 pedal that I bought specifically to use for parallel processing. However, when I connect everything together, both the standard output (and d/o) and the parallel output are outputting the exact same, dirty signal. The parallel output should be giving a clean, passed-through signal straight from my bass, right??


Here's my setup:

Active bass >> high quality 1/4" cable >> Darkglass input

Output >> high q 1/4" cable >> channel 1 on audio interface

Parallel Output >> high q 1/4" cable >> channel 2 on audio interface

I've also used the Direct out with an XLR instead of the standard output, both grounded and lifted.

None of this seems to work, my parallel output is just as dirty as my standard/ d/o. Does anyone have any advice??

The parallel is the same as the input. You must be doing something wrong in your DAW.

Btw, this thread should belong in the 'effects' section.

The parallel output on DG pedals is literally just a direct hookup from the input to the Parallel Out jack, so no possible way that it could output effected signal from the pedal unless the pedal has been modified somehow. Have you tried unplugging the "effected" input from your interface entirely just to make sure it isn't a DAW issue as @crguti suggests?
