Trio plus pedal help

Hootsmon

folks...I was thinking of one of these but I thought I would run a question by you first.....

can it be used this way.....

I have my verb and delay on the floor with  a few OD pedals....can I plug my floor pedals into the unit in the loop?

..but more importantly can I record to the PLUS some nice  rhythm guitar with no OD pedals engaged then solo over the playback sound with OD pedals now engaged for solo tone?

I get where your coming from, but I've tackled it a different way. I have an ABY switch behind an overdrive sending the guitar signal either to the Trio+ or to a proper amp. The output from the Trio+ goes to a PA or stereo. 

That way I can record any (within reason and depending on the Fx types) guitar tone to the Trio and have a different tone for a solo. It does work better with the first interpreted part being clean. Then I add a rhythm part with a bit of dirt, then switch the output of the AB to an amp (or my pod) to play over. That way I get the best tones. 

I've not tried using the Fx loop of the Trio so can't advise, but the onboard FX are pants.

i plug my Trio+ into my gear the way it shows in the quick setup guide. There is an output to my guitar amp, and an output to my little keyboard amp/PA. I'm not sure how it works if you're only using one amp, but I can record loops which have one tone, and then play over that loop with a totally different tone.

I guess what I am asking is....Can I record a clean rhythm , have it play back clean and record an overdriven sound on top for solo voice?

With my arrangement yes, not sure if you can by using the Trio loop
