Hi all,

I'm at the moment thinking about building a looper/switcher, preferably programmable. I have some schematics, I'm also looking into buying a pedal but I can't find anything that's does exactly what I want. I don't have lot of pedals but i would like, if possible, to have a delay/verb pedal in the effects-loop of my amp. The only pedal I've seen that does this is the Joyo PXL (also sold under some other brand names), it claims to have 2 loops (with each 4 sub-loops) with between these an addtional in -and output so you could use the "4 cable method". I really don't need 8 loops but it occured to me that I could also one of the loops for the extra two cables (?). So the signal flow would be:

Guitar > Looper In > Send 1> Pedal > Return 1 > Send 2 > Another Pedal > Return 2 > Send 3 > Amp input  and then:

Amp Send > Return 3 > Send 4 > Delay/reverb pedal > Return 4 > Looper out > Amp Return.

Loop 3 would always have to be on (I don't think that's a problem). Of course the question is would this work or am I missing something here?

Any answers will as always be very appreciated :)
