I’m trying to achieve something that I perceived within my scope, however… Several reliable cables later it appears that my Chase Bliss Mood mk1 doesn’t accept single trace of a signal when connected to the Main Out of either AR mk2 or OT mk2 .
I plugged my favorite synth and the other I don’t like quite as much, for good measure and all is well.
Why is this ?
TRS or TS cables ?
Sometimes guitar pedals don’t accept TRS

It’s possible that the Mood MkI has a “stereo summing” input that’s canceling out the balanced signal. It’s not listed in the manual, but I remember a Ricky Tinez video where he said the Blooper sums stereo, and that’s not listed in the Blooper manual either.
If that’s the case, using a regular TS guitar patch cable should do the trick.

Mood mk1 will work with TS cables

Thanks for your feedback. The issue was with the silent tipped TS jacks. It just didn’t like them. Thanks G

Seems interesting if you want silence ! 
But…what the point of these ?

Well the tip is the positive - the sleeve is the ground.
So if the tip is silent then it’s not even an audio cable

Perfect audio cable if you have problems with family of neighbors…

Indeed…They can be too efficient.
They have a contact plate at the stem of the plug shaft that engages the tip
once the plug is secure and earthed. It prevents noise by preventing the live tip hitting the socket chassis, and leaves a silent cable when disconnected.

Ah ! Funny business. Cables are silent when fully disconnected btw. Unless some cables want to express something after ? 
What would be life without noisy cables…
I even created a topic about making music with noisy connected jacks.
