Can a looper pedal on playback be put in the Vox VT 20+ Aux Jack?

Greetings, I’m new to amps and electric guitars, played acoustics for decades. I bought the VT 20+ to play in the man cave, volume stays low and I stay with the cleaner sounds and modeling. Recently I got the Vox 5 switch foot pedal, and it’s a great convience, now I’m toying with the idea of getting a looper pedal ie. The Boss RC-1 or Ditto looper, something simple and not too expensive for making a backing loop.

If the guitar plugs into the pedal and that into the amp, the sound will be colored by whatever modeling, Fx, etc you’ve chosen on the amp, right? Can a pedal like this be plugged into the small pin Aux Jack so you could hear a clean rhythm and then play a dirtier lead? This model Vox only has the one phono plug input and the Aux 1/4″ in.

Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks in advance!

My suspicion is the output level from the pedal will be too low. If the guitar needs a headphone amp to hear it in headphones then the pedal will probably be at the same level, no?

Hi Ed,
I own the Ditto X2.
I use him as a Looper and as a splinter. He has two exits.
Connection:
Guitar / TU-3 / CH-1 / DD3 / RV7/DITTO X2 / ampere
He falsifies no tone with me.
I find the DITTO X2 good.
Besides, he has 5-minute recording time
I hope this something helps you.

Greeting

Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

For any that come this way: I got a hold of Roland customer service on the phone. Their reply was that the output may be on the low side but the quickest test would be to plug the guitar directly into the Aux input as the pedal output would be similar. 1/4″ to 1/8″ adapter and … Plenty enough volume for my bedroom, dial up the Power level knob and you have more volume, I’m still not fully up to the 9 o’clock position. Sweet! There’s a pedal in my future!
