Looping with a mixer

[Estan Milkovitch <estan@freeuk.com>]

Hi, I've been reading the messages for a while and I've noticed that 
generally everyone uses their looping device with a guitar, I want to 
use one with 2 turntables and a mixer but I have a couple of questions.


As far as I can work out, I'd need some kind of effects send on my 
mixer to be able to use ANY type of guitar pedal, can anyone confirm 
this and if so, is there any way to get around this?

Thanks.
