Combining effects and amplifying.

[Fozz87]

Morning

Wondered if anyone had already combined the Boss VE-8 with a looper ? I was thinking of getting the VE8 for some vocal and acoustic effects almost as a mini battery powered mixer but have read the loop function is simple at best. I already own a Boss RC-500 so was hoping I could combine them but have noticed the VE8 has a stereo XLR output.

Is this possible ? My speaker is a Bose SR-1 (also battery powered) so I can always be self sufficient. But this has a 1/4" jack/XLR mono input channels.

If anyone has any other ideas for a battery powered set up would love to hear it doesn't seem the market is very big for this. I've been playing raw at home but want something to improve all aspects of my sound for live performance but small and easy to carry.
