Ah, I see. I use a volume pedal as well but in a different way. My pedal modulates the global mixer input level, so it in fact affects all my instrument inputs. I use one mic, one electronic line input and one electric guitar line input. The mic goes through an extra mic amp that I turn off when not playing one of the acoustic instruments through that mic. Electric guitar and electronic instrument have there own volume knobs that I keep at zero when not playing the instrument. The reason I have the volume pedal assigned to the global input is that I want to use it for all my instruments, not just the acoustic ones. I also constantly use the pedal to cut out leakage between the notes I play - otherwise the stage monitors would have to be credited as my live collaborators on every song ;-)) as they would bleed into my loops. For this reason I also keep all my effekts after the volume control. This makes it possible to play a note, close the input and still have a long reverb or delay tail being overdubbed into a long loop without stage monitoring bleed-over noise.
