Re: Filter-Looper Swapping

[Mark Hamburg <mark_hamburg@baymoon.com>]

I don't have advice on how to achieve the routing you are after, but  
another fun thing to do in this sort of setup if you've got a little  
signal flexibility is to get an Electrix EQ Killer and put it after  
the EDP to selectively drop out frequency bands in the loop. I'm not  
sure that's feasible in a straight-line loop signal flow, however.
