What you could do is to hook it up with a mixer, or some other signal splitting device, and send the delay output back into the input - but though a volume pedal. This pedal then becomes what among loopers is called "a feedback pedal". When the "Hold" button is open your loop will stay the same when the pedal is in the "full volume" position and you will be able to add your playing to the looping audio. Lower the pedal volume a bit and your played input will replace the looping audio, a little more for each round depending on pedal position. And if you want to play on top of the loop, without your live playing getting recorded, you simply step on the "Hold" button pedal (my Ibanez had jack for using a normal switcher pedal for the Hold function). Be sure to check out Mark's reply in this thread, some good hints given there.
