Right, I've basically decided that I'm not happy with my delay and I think its time I worked out how to use an effects loop on an amp!
First thing - Can someone recommend a good delay? - I've been looking at the TC delay and looper. As many of you know, I commute with my rig (sometimes staying in hotel rooms) so a looper would be quite handy. Anyone got any experience with this? I don't mind spending over 100 quid on a good delay but want to limit it to 150 quid. My current delay was bought in a hurry 'cos I needed one quickly for rehersals, its fine in a band context but I don't want to record with it, it sounds quite metallic and fishtanky, almost like it introduces a slight flange. I don't want to end up with a shite delay just 'cos its got a looper lumped in with it.
Next - I was gonna start using my delay and phaser in the loop - I've never bothered with a the loop before. Do I just need another pair of cables coming out of the back of the amp to connect up to my board? Or is there something clever that people do to avoid having 4 cables (including the channel selector) stretching across the room from the amp to the board?
If I went for for the TC delay and looper - is there a problem sticking a looper in the loop?
Moving the delay and phaser to the back row of my pedal board frees up some space too so I'll have some space for an extra front pedal - TubeScreamer maybe?
