What does a bypass looper do?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

I guess the only other solution would be to have it with those 4 loops, and instead of a master bypass, more of a channel selection. That is, have the looper on one channel, and my completely dry signal on the other. So in the looper #1 + <whatever else I want running> can always be on, and I can toggle the channel back and forth to go from Clean to Effects, instead of having to hunt buttons and always make sure that #1 + <another> is always on.

I may be misunderstanding it- that doesn't seem to let you stack effects with a clean signal (like using the Enigma with a clean signal going into it and the SYB with a clean signal going into it simultaneously) the way using parallel effects will. Maybe make another diagram?

Well the rackmount thing is really secondary... I'd like to figure out the Dry-feed part first

Gotcha. If the rackmount part is of any importance, then you might want to figure it out simultaneously though, as some solutions that will work on the floor don't have a way of working remotely.

OR... what if for the Dry out on the POG, I used a Y-cable and sent one part of it right back to the #1 Return?

Here you go :

"head explodes"

"head explodes"

Is that good or bad?

Both maybe? You'd be running three outs from the Micro POG simultaneously at some points, so I don't know if signal degradation or anything might occur. In theory it could all work.

Yeah, I've thought the same. Still open to suggestions

Well I heard back from the Loop Master... Unfortunately though, since this is outside the realm of its intended purpose, he couldn't say if it would work or not...

Also, would there be any benefit to using a splitter-box as opposed to a Y-cable?
