>>Everyone knows about the volume pedal>delay>looper
chain, but what other more esoteric combos are you
folks using?<<

I use the looper (or "freezer box" in r.m.i. language) as en effect on a mixing desk. it's returned up a regular channel strip rather than a dumb stereo input, and I do the same with my other effects. this means that it can sees it's own output via another effect chain. so if the internal feedback is reduced or off, the feedback is going to be effected. then effected again.

then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then effected again. then.....

(you get the idea)

it's easy to see how this could be useful in emulating the twin-revox tape sound with just a bit of eq in the feedback path, but there's no limit to the possibilities once you start playing with phasers, distortion, vocoders..... iteratively decaying audio- fantastic.

another advantage is that pretty much anything that appears at the desk can be grabbed into the looper and messed with, so sometimes gary will turn his jam-man down and the guitar will carry on looping because I've had a sneaky sniff of it going into the repeater without him knowing.
