Running into a weird VST issue with X3

Hello there, I am running into an issue where when I add a VST to a track (guitar track specifically) the VST doesn't work. 

The VST I'm using here is Free Haas. When I add it to my guitar track and enable it, nothing happens. No change. The VST is not working. All other VSTs appear to function on this same track though. I can add this same VST to other channels within my mix and...it works. Why would a VST not work on a certain channel within SONAR? What would cause this to happen? How do I even fix this? 

Nope. Not the issue. This same VST works on other mono tracks. I even have an older saved mix that I can open in Sonar and it too uses this same VST on a guitar mono track, without issue. I thought it might have something to do with mono/stereo, but...nope. Not the issue sadly.
 

Yea, I'm trying to gather more info, but to be honest haha...if I had more info I could probably fix the issue or at least see what it is myself. It's really that simple. When I add the plug-in there is no change and no effect. Turning it on/off yields no difference in the meters or via my monitors. I can tell it is not having any effect. Even turning the gain all the way up on the plug-in yields nothing different. It's simply not working. I can click the "On" button in the upper right hand corner and my track will completely mute, but that's the only effect it has. 
 
I'm running that same version of X3 as you are Scook. And that IS the same plug-in I download form the link you provided. 
 
Again, I can add this same VST to other Mono track/channels and it will work, it's just not working on my two guitar tracks. Quite annoying and frustrating. I have no idea how to begin fixing this issue.

I was able to get around this...issue....by sending both guitar tracks to a BUS. Guitar Tracks Output --> BUS --> Master. I slapped Free Haas on the BUS and bam, it works. Still no clue as to why it won't work directly on the guitar track itself.
