Re: What kind of setup do you guys use for live looping? Question about routing,mixer/amp suggestions.

So, I don't even need an extra amplifier, just a monitor and powered speakers of some sort?

I plays synths. For synth and guitar you need a full-range amp/monitor with a 12" or 15" woofer to replicate the basses well. A built in limiter is recommended, synths can easily blow your speakers :)

Do do play mono or stereo? I personally prefer active systems, it's easier to setup when you're playing live and you won't need a separate 19" rack for your power amp. There are many different bi-amped multi-purpose monitors on the market these days, many price ranges as well. Popular models are the JBL EON and Mackie SRM series.
