Hi Paul, Good that you bring this up! This has been one of my frustrations trying to have a good configuration to balance between digital versatility and the warmth of a tube power amp.I Run a roland GP 100 and a Roland GR33 guitar synth into a small 1202 mackie mixer, sending its aux into both the Echoplex and Repeater, and then returning them back into the mixers input channels so i can bounce loops between both loopers.Then the overall sound goes to a pair of yamaha active P.A. speakers. The advantage of this is total flexibility; being able to mix all the signals into the loopers and then being able to bounce the loops into each other,so if i recorded something i like into the EDP, i can send it to the Repeater through the mackies aux and either save the loop or twist the loop further,with the repeaters pitch shift capability,speed it up,slow it down etc. But i am not still 100% satisfied with the guitar sound.I played with tube amps half of my life and i just dont get the punch i am used to just running the preamp into the mixer and to the active speakers;The question is if it would make a difference using a dedicated guitar power amp instead?
