baffled, advice needed

I've got an MXR Dual Limiter being inserted on a pair of channels on my console via patchbay. The MXR is receiving input but not returning it to the console.

as a test, I patched the output to a pair of line ins rather than the insert returns and the signal is there.

why would it not return on the insert?

the unit is pin 3 hot and the cables are pin 2 hot. in normal use, I would just flip the phase after it's been inserted but could this have anything to do with the problem?

It could be the source of trouble if your inserts are unbalanced. Pins 1+3 may be tied together to ground.
