There's no low end getting robbed from my rig, this thing is a cannon. I just agree to disagree with you on that.

In the end, that's all that matters. If its good enough for you, then roll with it. Its an awesome build that you should be be very proud of!

The only problem is the LS2. Those things are tone suckers that rob low end balls from your tone. Well documented here that they are NOT transparent... Nowhere near. They really thin out low end. Fine for guitar, but for bass ..... Fuggedaboutit.

I used one for more than a year before I did a gig without it and was amazed by my tone. Never again.

there must be some really bad ears here, I've been using two of them for years, they do not rob bottom end. nice effort though.

great job on the rehouse op, it looks amazing

Whether your ears are sensitive enough is for you and you alone. It is a documented fact, and easily seen through a spectrum analyser, that they are NOT true bypass and do in fact attenuate low end.

If you like your tone with it on, that's all that matters. But for me it was night and day when I took it out of the chain. Shame, because the feature set of the device is is awesome. I wish someone would make one that doesn't attenuate low end. I would buy one in a second.

Try Radial or Lehle.

what does this have to do with the conversation?

you'd be more believable if you posted some links to said documentation. until then, I call major BS

Thanks taurus and Eric I appreciate it.

It really wasn't my intention to start any arguments around here.
I did buy and try a couple of other A/B box's, a Wobo looper and a LoopMaster A/b (both nice by the way,
still have and use both in another rig and they work good for their intended purpose's sp?) before I even thought
about the LS-2 (which I already had) and tested them all quite a bit side by side but honestly in the end I didn't
notice any significant difference between them with my setup.
I chose the LS-2 because it had no noise while switching in the loop of my amp like the others. I'm glad I used
the LS-2 in the end because there are lots of possibilities in the future with all the ins and outs and modes
and stuff, I'm good with it.

Very detailed, well thought out work man, quite nice. Looks a bit like a spaceship (not that I've ever actually seen a real, live spaceship).

[ccouch7]

Thanks will33, I hear ya on the spaceship, I dug out this old footswitch I've had for years
and gutted, sandblasted and rebuilt for switching it. And it looks like one too.

Bad ass! I'm a fan of seeing pedals put into a rack format
