Ok, I tried it, no go. the same thing happened, when I switched to loop B i got sound, loop A, none. it turned out though the sound is not coming from the preamp, its coming from the JFX-1. I read that the JFX-1 has a little preamp in it. I double checked and unplugged wires as the notes were ringing. preamps were NOT transmitting sound , when I unplugged from the JFX-1, the sound stopped. Crazy huh?
Man, I think I was the one to tell you to get the LS-2. I don't own one but know how it goes.
Guitar- Input LS-2
Loop A- Preamp - Preamp out to LS-2 A return
Loop B- Peramp 2 - Preamp 2 out to LS-2 B return
LS-2 output to your FX.

Yes, I have tried each setting on the ls-2 with A and B and on some settings I get sound but it is always through the jfx-1. Maybe the ls-2 doesn't work with line level gear? their instructions only show pedals being hooked to it.
I don't know how to "show" stuff on forums, but I routed the lines as suggested.
Pre A to LS2 A return--Pre B to LS2 B return--LS2 output to FX--guitar to LS2 input.
Both A and B have a cable going to their 'returns' from the preamps but not coming out of their 'sends' , should there be?
It didn't work Hot tubes. I don't think the ls-2 works with rack gear. Back to the store to get my $80 back and spend $1200 on a gcx, gcp and cables.( my mother never raised any fools except one.) Thanks everyone for your help.
Well we tried. I tried all the configurations I could think of. The preamps SHOULD hook up just like pedals but no luck. I think the ls2 might not be working or else it doesn't handle rack gear to well. Thanks for your help ,it was greatly appreciated.
