Eh, I get the cynicism, because it's hard not to feel it myself. But if I can change, so can they 🤟
I didn't choose to be born. I didn't choose to be adopted into a dysfunctional family. I didn't choose to be raised as a little bigot. I did choose to walk away when I grew up and started seeing how people like me and my family were hurting others. This goes far beyond mere opinion, and perhaps you ought to spend some time reasoning about why these things aren't that important to you.
Edit to add a word.
Do you have any recommendations?
Use Affinity Publisher, Photo, and Designer instead. Looks like it's USD $165 for a universal license at the moment. Very few of the more exclusive features Adobe provides are worth the cost of doing business with them. The only thing I missed at first is Photoshop's timeline, but apps like Krita or Aseprite (if pixel art is your jam) have that covered.
Edit to add: one great feature of Affinity is that, if you have Publisher and at least one of the other apps, Publisher will unify the workflows of the others into the same screen. In other words, you can switch between Publisher, Designer, and Photo without minimizing or opening the other apps individually.
Art and design, regardless of medium, need not be gatekept by corporate goons to stuff greedy pockets.
Would "incognizant" fit the bill? Or, perhaps, the XY Problem?
It very well may be the case! Apparently, there's a desktop studio app, which might let me move things around. I guess I'll have to decide whether to lug my PC downstairs or my amp upstairs...
Thanks!

@rigatti's advice put me on the right track! I needed to hook up the amp to my PC using the USB-B port in the back, and download Boss Tone Studio (specifically the Katana Mk2 version). Under the "Editor" tab, and then the secondary "Send/Return" tab, I simply needed to switch the "position" property to "Post Rev".
Dope. Rock on, friends.

Heyo, I hope this is appropriate to post here:
I picked up a Boss Katana MkII guitar amp, and it has a lot of cool features that I'm new to, one being its send and return loop. I currently have it sending to, and returning from, a little Ditto looper pedal. With this setup, it typically allows me to overlay multiple tracks, with each one having different effects (powered by the amp) applied. However, sometimes it happens that switching to another preset channel seems to apply that new channel's effects over the existing loop tracks. It appears to be mainly happening with reverb, but it's not consistent, and I can't pin down what's causing it. Even switching to another channel and back will sometimes solve it.
Any tips or ideas?
If it makes you feel better, it seems like you're not the only one who missed the thread indent 🤷♂️

Lots of great suggestions involving story craft and the like, so I'll target the "religious hangups" bit with a couple non-fiction books:
-
Sentience by Nicholas Humphrey (great to get a perspective on consciousness and sentience that isn't marred with religious doctrine)
-
Determined by Robert Sapolsky (a primatologist with a knack for getting you comfortable with the notion that we don't have as free a will as religion tells us)
And just to include a bit of fiction:
-
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky (about life as we know it, or maybe as we don't)
-
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (deals with overwritten cultures. Also dragons.)
