Re:Acoustic Looping Rig

Suggestion, if its within your budget, don't scrimp on the preamp end  
of things. I use a DTAR Solstice preamp which could easily be mounted  
on a a pedal board or adapted to a rack tray like i do. Its a bit  
taller and more square than the M-9 but similar in size and weight.  
Its controls are mounted on the front face, not the top like  floor  
effects are. . If you want that type of thing in an even smaller  
footprint, check out the Radial Acoustic DI,  its only drawbacks being  
it has just one channel, only one  1/4 input, and no inserts, whereas  
the DTAR has two channels  with separate 1/4 inch and XLR inputs and  
individual volume controls for each 4 inputs, as well as separate  
inserts, and 3 band eq for each channel.. The Radial is  a single  
channel device but like the DTAR it has and effects loop and an  XLR  
out and serves as a DI box as well. The DTAR I personally use, the  
Radial I've heard good things from people who use them.
