I do a few solo gigs at senior homes and I use a Jam Man. Here's what I do.

I play standards from the 30's through the 60's. The gig lasts an hour, so I don't need as many songs as some of you would. I have the song order set and I don't have to take requests. I create the songs on BB and mix them to the looper.

I run two outs from the looper to two channels on my mixer. I could just as easily make it one channel.

The SD cards work great. Also, having the looper and being able to change songs with my foot (Loop Up)allows me to keep eye contact with the audience.

If I had to do 3 or 4 hours and take requests, I would do it with a tablet or laptop. But the looper is more convenient than hunting for the next song. And I don't have to take my hands off my guitar or turn around.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
