I love my RC-2 looper.
I often practice with a Tonelab & it bothered me that I couldn't use the full flexibility of the Tonelab on my overdubs.
Then I had a breakthrough. The stobostomp has a built in DI so why not feed the Tonelab into the RC-2 then into the strobo & from that via an XLR cable into my mixer.
Well, it works. I have to adjust the eq & such. I haven't yet decided whether I have lost some tone doing this.
Back to my mad scientist cave..... :R
--------------------------------------------------
Emerging from the cave I've got to say that I like it!
Questions of possible loss of tone is far outweighed by the incredible increase in flexibility. As a side benefit the rhythm beats don't get all ratty if I up the gain.
Of course, I won't have this flexibility when I am playing my AD30VT.
-----------------------------------------------------
I freaked out when I first connected it all up. There was no sound in the right headphone speaker & the other side was ratty and quiet. It sounded horrible. So I disconnected it all & put it back to the way it was. The sound was still lousy. I thought my Tonelab had gone on the fritz. I patiently simplified the rig & still it was horrible. I finally found out that it was the headphones.
Yikes! I don't want to have to get new headphones. Luckily I discovered that the cable was a little loose. I disconnected the cable & reconnected it. Viola success! Then I had to rewire everything back the way it was.
