External Looper (Digitech JamMan Stereo)

I use a DigiTech JamMan Stereo Looper.

Which connection scheme would you prefer?

"FX send -> external looper-> FX return"

or

"monitor out ->  external looper -> monitor in ".

Or something else? Why?

 

I would like to record/overdub different sounds, e.g. Bass, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar,

therefore the simplest connection scheme 

"guitar/bass -> external looper -> FH's guitar input"

I would not like to use, because then my looper records the dry, unprocessed instrument signal, which always runs through the currently chosen  FH signalprocessing.

 

Cheers

Peter

Sounds to me this this is exactly what you're after (because you want to switch out amp/effects for overdubs):

"FX send -> external looper-> FX return"

 

This will ensure that any new overdubs will retain any new amp and effects (except the unmovable/global reverb block which is fixed post effects loop).

Make sure that the FX Loop block is placed as far back to the end of the chain as possible.  I have a Boss/Roland RC-2 looper and this is what I would use.

How does that work for you? Let us know.

Thank you guys! 

 

Here are my experiences so far:

FX send -> external looper-> FX return  

works, the engaged signalchains have to be adjusted (FX loop on, tweaking a little bit send/return dB).

 

Guitar > FH1500 guitar input | Mainout > JamMan | JamMan out > Monitor In

does not work, the signal which my FH1500 delivers to Mainout is distorted. First time I thought it's my looper that distorts the signal, but it's the main out. Sound coming from the speakers is good, but sound from  main out xlr ---- ouch.

 

To proove that it is the main out, I tested FH1500 main out -> Aux of a Bose Soundlink Mini and FH1500 main out ->Aux of a Yamaha THR10. Signal coming from guitar signal path is alway distorted. Very strange: only the Guitar/bass-signal is distorted. Music playing via firehawk app is ok. I can reduce distortion only by setting guitar level in the output level menu (or volume knob pressed 2x) to 20% or so, which is not what I like to do.

 

Nick, do you have an advice for me? Something wrong with my FH1500?
