If we are talking about Bus Insert FX, then the signal is fed to the FX chain Post fader and the output meter is post FX. So the meter reflects the output after the FX chains has been processed.

What section of the manual are you refering to? This may be an error in the manual. The signal flow diagram is correct.

I will also look into the results you are reporting.

Thanks
