Use another two channels on the mixer to take the soundcard output as
their inputs and insert some reverb. Just make sure those two channels
are routed to the speaker and not back into the soundcard's input,
because that would create some horrible feedback.

I use the same kind of rig, ie no post loop processing. However I play
my instruments through reverb, pre looper, and I would never do like
you are saying: simply pausing my loops. The way I do it is to play
something on my instrument as I pause my loops - in order to have the
reverb treated live sound mask the dry loop ending (loops are not
"dry" though, since lots of reverb are recorded as part of the loops,
but that even makes it sound more odd when you simply mute them
without covering up on the live instrument)
