No worries on the gear purchasing, I’m getting hip to a small gear addiction trend in my spending and you certainly wouldn’t need to push very hard for me to buy EHX.

What I’m wondering now, though, is if I want to eventually add a distortion pedal how do I sample that distortion. I can’t add a blanket distortion to everything the looper is playing back, that would get very muddy very quick, but if I put the distortion before the 2880 it will clip. Hmm.

Yeah, the tone I get from my amps are relatively flat and my OD comes from the combo of those two pedals (one amp is a keyboard amp, actually). Would a limiter hit the spot in this? I’m not opposed to splitting the two pedals up, and if I don’t have to spend money that’s ideal, I just wanted to make sure that what I was hearing wasn’t any sort of fault of the pedal.

I too have had clipping issues in my headphones, with the gains all the way down.

What I need to check:

1. If clipping is transmitted to main stereo out to amplifier
2. If clipping is recorded to .wav files in flash

All of the 2880 clipping threads on the board have me worried, however. I use a LP1 and Black Finger to get a nice, mildly overdriven and clean guitar sound, but it clips terribly in headphones when those two pedals are in the signal path before the 2880. If it is only in headphones I can deal with it, but if that clipping is going to be pushed to the amps when I play live I’ll have to figure something out.
