CryabetesParticipant
I don’t believe it’s part of the effect but you could do it with running the output of the killswitch into a splitter and running one leg of the splitter out to the amp [with the other one normal]
CryabetesParticipantnope. neither are they independent nor can your scenario occur.
you’d have to play the drum loop four times
then the piano loop twice
then the bass loop.CryabetesParticipantyeah but it doesn’t move the loop points. so when it’s all said and done, it’ll still be your ten second loop, just super saturated/distorted by digital clipping. might be interesting for almost a digital william basinski type thing but usable in context of routinely listenable music? doubt it.
CryabetesParticipantmine doesn’t shut off after one cycle. not sure if that’s just mine or not.
I guess if you really enjoy digital clipping [or are good at leveling on the fly], the mixdown feature is useful. But, like the metronome, I don’t use it.CryabetesParticipanthave you tried running into a DI first?
CryabetesParticipantyeah I’m not really sure how the stereo ins behave if you aren’t looping in stereo so I would premix all that and input it as mono.

CryabetesParticipantwelcome to the world of analog delay. this is normal.
CryabetesParticipantyou could do that with the panning though, as long as you aren’t trying to re-set the loop points at the same time [or don’t need stereo]. you’d need an A/B switch for the input and to be careful with the panning on the dry signal to avoid a straight-on feedback loop.
example:
initial recording, have the dry panning to left, loop 1 in center, loop 2 panned left. your guitar and the output of the BiFilter are on channels A and B, respectively, of the A/B switch. The left output is to the amp, the right is to the input of the BiFilter. A/B switch should be on ‘A’.
Record your loop. stop recording, hit the next track button. Hit the A-B switch and the record switch. boom. you’ve got your effects loop.Quite honestly I’d like EHX and tascam to do a joint venture combining the 2880 and the Portastudio series. That would be a most impressive piece of equipment.

CryabetesParticipantdepends how you have the distortion. Keep the level lower and you’ll be okay. If you want a big Mogwai-esque ‘BOOM’ to the distortion, you’ll have a hard time with that. Although the input clipping actually makes my DOD punkifier sound even better, so go figure. I think what i’m trying to say is that it’s more a ‘cross that bridge when you come to it’ thing. or the compressor will help with it. either or.
CryabetesParticipantA limiter would work, but probably not without sound artifacts. Maybe look into a two channel rack compressor that you can keep under the 2880 on your board. The ART dual compressor is nice and usually pretty cheap on ebay.
And it’s not really a fault in the pedal, more a design oversight.
edit: also I realise it kind of sounds like I’m pushing you to buy things [when you don’t want to buy things] but if you have any spare gear you think might be useful, use that instead.
CryabetesParticipantyeah. Although you might not like it. your LPB1 and Black Finger are the basis of your guitar tone, right? no amp breakup or anything?
Basically, you need to lower your volume into the 2880 [either via compressor or some kind of attenuator]. and then probably boost it again afterwards. Products I’d look into for this would be another EHX LPB1, maybe the LP2B, a mixer of some kind, the Boss LS-2, or the DOD FX10.CryabetesParticipantish, the LPB1 and Black Finger would definitely both clip out the input stage of the 2880. What you might want to try is moving the 2880 before them in your signal chain. If that’s an issue, maybe use the panning to get what you want [ie, dry out panned hard left, loops panned hard right, with the LPB1 + Bfinger from the left out.]
