In addition, if you don't use the aux return,and instead use
another
channels input for the return signal, you have additional control over the
jamman's output. EQ, additional (say stereo) effects if you have another
aux. send.
We use two Mackie 1202s (one for the vocals and one for the
guitars)
and we each have a JamMan. The vocals go into the JamMan thru aux send 1
of
the Mackie and the output is returned into channel 2. Aux send two is a
stereo reverb/delay, so we have a "stereo" loop and lead vocal signal. For
the guitar, the signal path to the JamMan is the same (Aux 1 send for into
to the JamMan and the output is routed to channel 2). Aux send 2 is an
Echoplex which is returned to channel 3. This allows me to send signal to
both from the guitar as well as sending the output of one looper to the
inout of the other. I also have a Boss RSP-10 as the other part of the Aux
1. send signal chain (On the Mackie board, the aux sends are stereo, so
using a Y cord, I have two mono devices on aux send 1). This allows me to
send the return from the RSP-10 (which I use mainly for its backwards echo)
to the Echoplex.
The more you play around with the ideas, the more fun you have.
