Thank you both for your help. This is by far the best advice I've
heard. (contacted Digitech tech support... they're not even aware that
the SEND stays on and told me it doesn't after which I ran some tests
and confirmed that it does) I'll take you up on the MIDI-controlled
approach. I have another dilemma though... The other FX Processor I'm
hooking up to is Stereo and I'd want to retain its full sound. The
loop will consist of mainly delay effects so do either of you think it
is possible to have them trail when I'd turn the loop off? Basically,
the SEND of the loop would have to be muted, while the returns (in
stereo) would still be active.
Any ideas?
