It's time I try and use a looper. I have heard different thoughts on where it should go. Some say beginning of signal chain. Others have said the end of the signal chain.
Where is yours?

Where Does the Looper Go?

Based on trial and error only, I say at the end of the chain. Reason being, is so that i can lay down a rythym track first, with a few effects on, let that play. Then i can noodle a lead rif with other effects or added boost/distortion, without muddying up the original track.

I think I used to put mine last in the FX loop. Been a long time though so IDR.

At the end, unless you want to adjust pedal settings without strumming, then at the beginning.

It depends on what you are doing with the looper. If you are using it to test out settings on pedals you would want it to be first so it captures what you are playing and plays it over and over while you adjust the pedals or effects. If you are using it to create a loop to play over, put it last for the reason mentioned above, to capture the sound with any drives and effects you want on the sound.

Usually at the end. @Wakester covered the reasoning, @sergiodeblanc seconded. I’m just voting “aye” to the motion.

So, the real question is, does anyone name their looper? Mine is Cyndi.

But she never repeats what I wanna play back, I think she must be a tad loopy...

They typically go in the FX loop at the end of the chain so you can record a loop with certain FX, then use different FX to play over it. You can loop a clean rhythm then play a distorted lead over it.
I use mine as the first pedal in the front of the amp chain, but I'm using it to dial in pedals. It's looping a completely dry signal while I try different FX and get them and the amps and EQ dialed in.
