I would strongly recommend to use your voice into a microphone, going
through a proper compressor, to create that groove layer. When
playing The STick you could put on a headset mic. Eventually you
would also need a floor pedal switch for turning the mic on/off to
prevent leakage, that is if you lead it into the same looping input
where you also play your stick to loop it (which I think is the most
immediate setup).
