Sorry for being a bit long winded ... What is the best way to add an EDP into a live rig? I am a wind player (sax & EWI), not guitar player. I have been connecting all my synths to a Mackie 1202, and then using my aux bus to add in effects from my Lex MPX1. In fact to add compression, I used the Alt3/4 capability to route all my channels to channles 3 & 4 so that I could insert compression on the whole mix before adding in the effects. My output to the house system is stereo so that I can use IEMs to monitor in stereo. I send the main mix to a direct box that can then convert the mix into either mono or stereo mix, depending on what the house can handle. With all that being said, I am now in the process of converting my rig to a series type set up (no effects busses) so that I can prewire my rig using an Ashly 8 stereo channel line mixer, because frankly I am tired of the 30-45 minutes it takes just to set up with all the wires going to the Mackie. Anyway, I will now connect all my synths (permantly) to the Ashly mixer, along with a rackmount mic pre for my saxes, come out of the Ashly and into the compressor, then next into the Lexicon MPX1 (where I will now control the wet/dry mix instead of at the Mackie) and then finally out to my stereo direct box as before for the house connection. I think this arrangement will help to drastically reduce the time it takes to set up and tear down. The reason for saying all this is ... up to this point, I have been thinking about getting the Repeater (of which I have one on order). But, like many others here, I am tiring of the continuous extensions of delivery and am now considering the possibility of getting the EDP instead. However, the Repeater is stereo and connecting it into my signal (I assume after my effects in the new series setup) path would have been fairly straight forward. But, the EDP is mono (I can't afford to get two for stereo) so how do I add it into my configuration so that I have the greatest amount of flexibility and maintain the kind of sound path that I have become accustomed to. I have never used looping before so I really don't know the best method of connecting everything (ie, pre or post compression, pre or post effects, etc.). Is it handled like an effects processor such as compression, distortion, etc. with all the considerations about optimal signal path?
