VH4 serial loop : stupid question

Is it normal that when you switch off the serial loop, it just cuts the sound if a processor is in the loop ? It's probably logical, but I thought the loop would act as a bypass, not as a mute...
Have I read the manual in German (wich I don't speak ), or am i completly dumb ? Please, help !

May I ask you that how do you switch off the serial loop?

It is not programmable or controllable otherwise than through either connecting the cables (and external unit/units) to the loop or not. In a way the serial loop is always on and thus if the cables are connected to the serial loop the signal runs through the loop and is 100 % wet.

Are you possibly talking about the parrallel loop, which is controllable?

Only the Send2 function is programmable which means the 2nd preamp output. When the signal returns to the head is mixed in series or in parallel according to which return input you plug it. :wink:
