FX Loop use

[user 19273]

So I thought I'd hook up my Zoom G9.2tt through the send & return loop of my Roadster. I figured I could step on a patch & then hit the fx button on the footswitch to bring it in when I wanted. But that's not what happened!
The effect was on continuously, and hitting the FX button did nothing. I had a cable from the send on the amp to the input of the G9.2tt, then from the output of the Zoom to the return of the Roadster, and the guitar plugged into the front of the amp.
If I used the volume pedal on the Zoom, I could increase or decrease the guitar volume, regardless of whether the FX button was in or out.
And yes, the FX loop was switched in on all channels. Altering the level on the loop altered the overall sound. Looking in the Zoom manual, it doesn't mention wiring it through the loop, only into the front of the amp.
So, am I screwing up, or is it not possible to use the Zoom in this way, and I'll have to buy an alternative fx unit?

In back of amp, each channel has an individual FX Loop ON/OFF. Each channel MUST be set to FX OFF. The loop system active switch must be in to active instead of loop hard bypass. With these settings, the footswitch fx loop button will turn on fx loop or turn off fx loop.

Thank you.
I used this the other night in a gig & the sound's awesome!
But I can't use the tuner section of my Zoom G9.2tt - it doesn't do anything!
Unless I plug directly from the guitar into the input.
Anyone any ideas?
Or I buy a new tuner & use the tuner/mute button

no offense to the zoom but a TU-3 will give you better result.

I just love that tuner.
