RE: How to place Looper in audio path?



The basis for our project is improvisation. There are no "songs" so to 
speak. So we all allow each other the freedom to do whatever it takes to 
make us happy;) So taking a minute and a half to switch a few 1 foot patch 
cords is no big deal compared to the 3 hour set we prefer to do. And the 
music never stops,so while I'm modifying my setup, the others are still 
jammin' on.   Granted, this may work in my situation and not yours, but I 
would imagine that one could pull it off on stage if one knew the diagram 
for each individual song, and took 20-30 seconds to make the quick 
switch.The other option is to have several aux sends:)
