So, do you need help with Ableton or the hardware setup part?

Use the external effects plugin. Make sure you have enough inputs and outputs on your soundcard and set those in the plugin.

Check this out from my homie DJ Kiva.

Edit: ^Yea, that tutorial should get you there.

Well first you need to hook up the pedal to two inputs and two outputs on your audio interface. The inputs of the pedal need connected to the outputs of the interface. The outputs of the pedal need connected to the inputs on your interface.

Have you got that far?
