I'd like to second the opinion that you try the effects loop for your looper feed and return. I have no laptop experience, but my old RC 20 and my EDP all work well in effects loops on Fender DeVilles, Hot Rod Deluxes, and originally, Peavey Delta Blues. Part of the reason I did this was to be able to access the amp's channel switching while looping (clean rhythm guitar, octave pedal bass and whacked drum effects, switching to overdriven lead sounds on top). I kept the effects and pedals up front, leaving the effects loop entirely to the looper. dave Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. I'm getting plenty of signal to Ableton, and the Alesis io26 has a 'guitar' input. Getting the signal in and processing/looping it is cool. It's when I want to go back out from the Alesisi to the front end of a regular guitar amp is where the sound is really crappy. I've seen those 're-amping' boxes, that advertise that you can record straight off the guitar to your desk, then reamp that signal later, using your choice of guitar amps, rather than micing and being stuck with one amp choice in the beginning, right? Well, isn't bringing in a direct signal to Ableton and then spitting it back out to a guitar amp essentially reamping? What are those little boxes doing? Changing impedance, I'm sure from lo-z to hi, but are they doing anything else? Are all you guys using full spectrum pa type amplification? No one using a computer interface with a regular guitar amp? Thanks for all the info!
