Direct output not the same as raw signal

I’m having the following issue when sending the DI bass sound to my FOH engineer. With the direct out set to “Git Analog”, he does not see any useable signal. It is significantly lower than the direct signal from the bass when bypassing the kemper. I have to set it to “Git Studio” for him to see anything, but the Rupert Neve DI we’re using is looking for an instrument level signal. What gives here? Thanks in advance.

Is the cable from the direct out ok?

Git analog effectively bypasses the Profiler without any buffering IIRC.

I think I’ve figured this out. Looks like “git analog” is physically tied to only the front input of the KPA. So i’ve made a cable to run around the front, which is kind of a bummer because there is otherwise zero cabling on the front side of my racks. If anyone can enlighten me, I’d love to know if it’s at all possible to run the DI out without the “stomps” section from the alternative (rear) input.
