Why Isn't My Tuner Working?

[titalia]

So i have a Korg dtr 1000 and an ampeg B2R and I can't figure out how to use both together. I have it rack mounted so i want to connect it all in the back and just plug my bass directly into the ampeg. Anyone familiar with this and can help it would be much appreciated thanks

plug it into the effect loop.

Ok so I went with effect loops "send" on the ampeg into "in" on the back of the korg and it isn't working when i play a note I hear it out of the cab but it doesn't recognize it on the tuner. Thanks for the reply

Start off by making sure the tuner works. Plug the bass directly into it. If that works make sure all of the cables being used work.

The loop could require a return signal too. Or try going from the amp's Preamp Out to the tuner's Input.

Did you ever figure out the problem? I'm having the same issue and im running it with a ampeg b2re. The thing worked fine for last year or so I had it and just stopped working one day. Its looking like ill be on the hunt for another one of these :/

You also need to connect the "return" on the ampeg with the "out" of the tuner.

Assuming your tuner works correctly, all you should have to do is run a patch cord from the Preamp Out jack on the B2R to the input of the Tuner. You don't need to send anything back into the Power Amp In jack, since the preamp out jack can be used to send a signal to a mixer board for live shows or recording use.

19. PREAMP OUT: A post-EQ signal may
be taken from this jack and sent to the
house mixing board, recording console or
external power amplifier.
