Why do you have the looper post reverb? A lot of people do that, and it is a little strange to me. Having the verb after makes it so it covers up the seam of the loop more easily. Idk, maybe I'm the only one who prefers it that way.
I'm also go reverb post-looper. I don't want multiple layers of reverb in any overdubbed loops. I want layered sounds, with a single layer of reverb added on top.

Anyways, that's a solid board!
I've got two "loopers" pre reverb already! The Ditto is there to catch whatever CT5 and Tensor loops are going on, as well as more conventional loops for practicing. I definitely like having a looper before other effects to mangle and I feel like the CT5 and Tensor are perfect candidates for that. I've been having fun doing some disintegration loop esque stuff using the CT5, Shallow Water, Fuck, Tensor and Mercury 7, then randomly catching snippets of the loop on a pre-recorded blank loop on the Ditto x2. Randomizing and time stretching Mode 3 CT5 loops with the Tensor is also incredibly fun.
You're definitely not wrong about the seam aspect of loopers post reverb, but I feel like I can get pretty close to seamless as long as I treat the loop like a punch in and play the riff a few times before I record. I was spoiled by first having a DL4 being able to go straight to overdub and it not mattering, but I've gotten close with the Ditto.
I like my looper after massive ‘verbs, in case I want a super dry layer alongside a reverbed one. I’ll run a little amp spring after everything sometimes though.

I typically make my first loop something more rhythmic or simple. After that, I’ll layer on stuff with verb and won’t stop “recording” until after the loop has begun again so there’s not a noticeable start/stop.
I also won’t start recording a loop until it’s the second time I’m playing through something, so if I’m using a lot of reverb, it still is recorded at the start and there it sounds seamless from loop start to stop.
I guess I think more of the reverb to simply be the size of the room the sound travels in more than an effect, or something like that. So it would be weird to me to have a part played in a room sized room at the same time as a cathedral spaced room etc. Might just be the genre of music I play or just something I've grown accustomed to.
