I believe forum member Pickmaster uses a multi effect pedal in the loop without a buffer and it works very well. I have used my space echo without the c-lator and it worked pretty good as well.

Hi Gregg,
Yes, you are correct, I use modified Digitech RP-200 in the loop. It is connected to the amp with 4m four individually shielded core cable (capacitance - core to shield is 99pf and overall diameter - 5,6mm, very flexible). Cable is for send/return and channel switching as well.
I also have loopolator by Bludotone and C lator by Ceriatone. They are identical and work well with my TC electronic G major but I still prefer the RP-200.
I have to mention that from the Digitech line only old RP 100 and RP 200 works in the loop without
input overload problems, they can take enormous input signal without distorting it.
I'm sure there are many similar multieffects which work great in the D style loop without additional buffer. Important requirements are highest possible input impedance, EQ and adjustable high volume output.
Cheers
