Title: Re: Help for a violin looper

Hey matthew...

Nice to see you here...

What you’re describing is what I done in my everyday work for nearly seven years, i’m happy to help set you up if you’d like...  

I use either a hardware rig or a software rig, or as a ‘super-rig’  I use both.  Email me or call me...  The answers to your questions are relatively simple and straightforward, and with the exception of your amp and pickup, you’re already set to go...

Be in touch...

Todd

I need to hear the delay effect as if it was another performer because I play against it rhythmically. All other members will need to hear the loop/delay that well also, but the drummer in particular. I also want to be able to play solo without the loop or delay so I think I will need an A/B Switch.
