There is a bug which causes that problem, which I hope will soon be 
fixed...

Basically, the master sets the feedback slightly down in the slave with a
wrong continuous controller command. And the slave loop very slowly fades
out. There is a simple workaround until the software fix is done. If you
set the feedback continuous controller to a different one on the slave than
the master, it should be fine. You do that with the parameter called
"FeedBkCont."

If you never adjust feedback. you are done. If you want feedback control of
both units your best bet is a midi expression pedal, sending on both
continous controllers. Another reasonable option is to use a stereo volume
pedal plugged into both feedback pedal jacks.

hope this helps,

kim
