Hmmm. I have no clue. I need some help

Hey

I have bought an eq and wish to use it with my compressor so that the signal goes in to one is affected and then onto the other where it is affected further and then back to be played through my bassists stack. (this will be as a effects loop).
However i connected it the way i thought it should be (compressor then eq) by going send to input on the compressor then out of the compressor to the in of the eq and then the out of the eq to the return of the amp. However this method seemed to bypass the eq altogether. I have looked in both the manuals but neither are very much help.

These are the hardware i am trying to connect together and the connections they have on the back.

Recording? Or...

for a live rig?

I would go compression before the amp, and use the EQ in the fx loop.

basically where we play there is no compression on individual channels and we are just get a global compression. so it is up to us to do that if we want it and as my bassist does alot of slapping etc the signal can go from loud to soft, peaks and troughs quickly so this is to smooth out the signal so that is why we am using it this way. Or want to.
