I have found experimentation is the best way. There is no right or wrong, only right for you and wrong for you. Each time I put my looper in a different spot, I learn something new about what differnt things I can create. Through this I find the means that best suits the situation. But to make it easier on myself, I put most of the gear I wanted to re-arrange into a patch bay for ease of change. This allowed me to change things on the fly. But as for new ways to use a looper in a live setup, your only limited by your imagination(and sometimes by your equipment:). Good Luck Pete. >From: "M.
