I never send stereo signals to any of my effects, that opens up one of your Aux sends. I often run the synths in mono, though I like having the efx returns in stereo. In my current setup, I have Y-cords on both Aux sends of the 1202, so AUX 1 feeds the vortex and an LXP-5, and Aux 2 feeds the JamMan and DL-4. All the efx are set to 100% wet signal, and I occaisionally have to turn down the input of one to keep from feeding back, for instance if I want to send a loop from the JamMan to the DL-4, but it works OK. > >I guess the way you have it configured, by bringing the return from your >looper back to another channel, you can then apply effects the looped >sound separately which is then combined with the original dry sound >(that has gone through effects as well).

Keep us informed of how it works out, when you finally do get it. ____________________________________________ Dave Trenkel : improv@peak.org New & Improv Media http://www.newandimprov.com Now available: Admiral Twinkle Devil: Wabi Dub ____________________________________________
