You can use one of those Radio Shack mic to 1/4" barrel mounted transformers with pretty good results... THere are several loopers out there which have Mic inputs, too.... Boss RC-50, DIgitech GNX-3 and GNX-4... the Electro harmonic 2880, which by the way has independent gain controls for it's two inputs. >Hi, > >I have a conundrum...
