Re: looping with a mic

  Hi, I believe Rick does this alot, so he might have some ideas for you.
For myself, in addition to suggesting muting the input as you've already
done, I'd also suggest trying a volume pedal before the input of the
Repeater, or between a mic preamp and whatever effects you might be using
before  the Repeater's input.  
  This way, you can fade the mic smoothly without pops or clicks and easily
avoid any unwanted sounds being added to your loops.    <smile>  -HOpe this
helps...  

Smiles,

Cara
