Re: How to place Looper in audio path?



I have found experimentation is the best way. There is no right or wrong, 
only right for you and wrong for you. Each time I put my looper in a 
different spot, I learn something new about what differnt things I can 
create. Through this I find the means that best suits the situation. But 
to 
make it easier on myself, I put most of the gear I wanted to re-arrange 
into 
a patch bay for ease of change. This allowed me to change things on the 
fly. 
But as for new ways to use a looper in a live setup, your only limited by 
your imagination(and sometimes by your equipment:).
Good Luck
Pete.
