Looper's Delight

Greetings! Figured I'd add my 2 cents on the Vortex....which just arrived last night! :-) My initial response was on of disappointment. "Does this thing do anything?" I soon realized that it helps to have it patched into the mixer correctly!!! With a nice ambient loop looping in the JamMan I set about spinning the dials on the Vortex to see what it could do. Two hours later I concluded that the Vortex is a nifty little box (can't beat it for a 150 bucks). My favorite patch is the Deja Vu (b)....which is a looper. When used in conjunction with the JamMan (set in Echo mode) you can get some really cool loops happening that are always changing. Nice. The Reflexion 1 patch (when tweaked) is cool too. Someone asked where in the signal chain we place our looper of choice and various processors. Here's what I'm doing.... My Digitech GSP-2101 pre-amp feeds my Rane SM-82 mixer. The right effect send of the Rane feeds the JamMan (which is routed to channels 1 and 2) and the left effect send feeds the Vortex (outputs routed to the effects return). In this way the Vortex can process both the guitar and the loop simultaneously.....or one and not the other. Anyway....back to looping.....
