Now that sounds nice - probably the kind of thing I was envisaging.  That,
and putting a delay in the feedback loop; imagine the MPX's 5.7 sec delay 
in
the JM's 32 sec loops...

I use the "stereo" inputs on the JM; the input goes in on the left, summed
to mono through the loops, comes out on the left output, through a volume
pedal and back into the right input.  Master output comes out of the right
output.  Feedback level is set by carefully balancing the input and output
levels; I'm planning on putting a pot in the feedback loop for fine-tuning
the level.

I take it that's not the amp yer referring to... =:0
