Do you put the looper after everything you want to loop, and it will bypass everything before it? Just making sure
quick looper question.

Re: quick looper question.
The idea of a looper is to get those pedals that color the tone out of the direct signal path. Take the pedals that are really bad and put them in the looper. From there, the pedals you have in your direct chain should have no coloration or the looper is a waste. From that point, you can put the looper before the other pedals in your chain or after, it doesn't matter.

Re: quick looper question.
A standard looper has 4 jacks. 1) Input 2) Output 3) To Effects 4) From Effects. You attach the "To Effects" jack to the input of a pedal, then link any other pedal you want bypassed behind that. The final pedal in the bypass chain gets it's output jack attached to the "From effects" jack on the pedal. Natually, you attach your guitar and any other stuff to the "Input" jack and you attach your amp to the "Output"

Re: quick looper question.
Mincer is correct here guys, it's not called a looper but a true bypass switch box. Here's an example of how the true bypass switch works.
Effects that have true bypass switches are on the bottom (signal directly going to amp ) and non-true bypass effects on the top ( connected to the loop out of the signal chain if not in use ). Pressing the switch lets the non-true bypass effects get in with the whole signal chain.
Hope this helps

Re: quick looper question.
Also, I would like to add that the True bypass box also acts as a master switch. If all of your pedals are non-true bypass and you have them connected to the loop with your guitar signal going directly to the amp, you can just leave a certain pedal ON like an overdrive and kick the true bypass switch on to get the overdrive in the chain for a lead boost. Same with other type of effects on your pedalboard like tremolo, EQ, etc. that's not always needed in the signal chain and only needed in certain parts of a song. You will have the option of having your pure unaffected tone going straight to your amp without suffering from ''signal loading'' or what we commonly know as ''tone sucking''. Great little magic box. I had mine made by Mike Piera (AnalogMan) about 5 to 6 years ago. It's really easy to DIY. If you're good with a soldering iron, drilling holes and know where to get the parts, you'll have lots of fun.

Re: quick looper question.
It absolutely did. I was just not understanding what to do, and I messed around with it for a few minutes til it was like you had it and it works great. No more Rotovibe eating my tone alive. Thanks.Old Ghost said:Hope this helps

Re: quick looper question.
I had a Dunlop Rotovibe and it did suck a lot of tone when off.
