Hi everyone I’ve been playing for almost 1.5 year (self-taught) and I often feel “behind” in terms of progress. I’m more into rhythm guitar, and so far I’ve learned basic open chords, power and bar chords (E shape, A shape, minor, major7, min7 and Dom7) sus chords as well. I also know some basic fingerpicking and palm muting to add dynamics. Lead-wise I only play some easy riffs and major and minor pentatonic. How am I doing honestly and what should I tackle next?

Maybe you are correct... If the looper outputs to the amp, the OD pedal distorts the output from the looper and guitar overdubs if placed AFTER? But yes, if the OD pedal was BEFORE, then you could record a clean loop and then overplay with OD second guitar sound. I stand corrected

This is the way that i understand it too. If the OD is before the looper, then everything will have the drive if it were on, whereas if it was afterwards then the loop itself could be clean that would then be overdriven if desired. All you can do is experiment to find which way works best for you. The result must be the same in reality, if the OD is on the loop will be dirty, if it is off the loop will be clean.
