what order do you run them? i have the Ampliton, Bitrman, Faze, Philtre, 
Phlngr and Smashup.
I already run many fx before my loopers. The usual distortion, pitch, 
filter 
type stuff.

This just in from the west coast:
"not sure if you work in stereo or not, but that tremlo/panner module is 
really amazing, especially if used to chop up existing rhythms, etc.  you 
might try sending one side to teh bitrman, the other side to the philtre, 
then send your loops to the two different devices through it - if you use 
the square wave LFO setting on the panner, set to max, and tap down to 
where 
it will 'sync', it'll then send your signal rhythmically between the two 
FX, 
creating a new, third ostinato...you can imagine what's possible with a 
couple of echo units patched downstream from that...very complex 
'synchrosonic' effects, etc."

I'm a lttle afraid now.. thanks Lx form SF!

If I fall through a rift in the space/time continuum I'll try to send back 
some recordings...

enough out of me,

jeff
