how many of you guys use multiple delay and verb pedals in the loop? I have 2 delays and 3 reverbs that I want to put on one board, I have always done it High school style like EJ but need to cut my setup time down. I have a flashback, DL-8 . polara, blue sky and super natural that I want to put on 1 board. Do I need to add a buffer anywhere, or Is there no advantage? now I have never chained them together and do not need to stack them at all.
 
I have been using a rack(blackface intellifex) but am having second thoughts
about this.
Since i primarily only use these two effects i am thinking of going pedals.
not only are they easier overall to set but the final tone seems to be better?
 
If I take out an amp w\a loop I run delays and reverb through it. If I play an amp without a loop I run them in the front. i built my board so that it kind of resembles 2 chains that can be jumpered so I have the option.
 
I recommend a G-Lab SA1 for your loop if you're running multiple devices. I like to hook up my loop through a simple true bypass looper. The SA1 hooks up to the looper, then the effects through the SA1. That way if I change the volume on my amp, I can compare the volume/tone loss between bypassed and through the effects with all effects turned off. Then can adjust the attentuation or boost needed on the SA1. It's also a nifty cure to clipping.
