This is no dissimilar to how I run mine... I've got two auxes, in one I 
have
two Echoplexes - so a mono in to each of them. I have them brother sync'd 
so
I can pan multiple layers if I want to, even though I'm not looping in true
stereo yet.

In the other aux, I have my recently aquired second MPX-G2, which has my
Kaoss Pad in its effects loop. So I can run either loop, or the signal
coming from G2 #1 into the second G2, which can then have the Kaoss signal
either mixed with the other signal, or just Kaoss through extra G2
processing. It's a bit mind boggling at the moment, and I'm going to buy a
Mackie 1402 desk soon so that I can record all the outputs from these
millions of channels into separate ins on my computer, rather than the
stereo set up I have at the moment...
