blender, low end loss and boss ls-2 questons

Sharpie555 · #1 08-19-2009, 03:12 PM

Okay, i like effects but i hate low end loss. Can i use the ls-2 to blend wet and dry signals even if i only have one amp? also, some effects don't suck low end (like chorus) so can i still have those outside the ls-2 loop?

I plan to use the ls-2 mainly to blend distortion, can someone tell me in simple terms how i would do this.

The pedals im looking to blend are a big muff and blues driver.

outside the loop would be a small clone and maybe a synth pedal.

all help is appreciated and any suggestions welcome. keep in mind though that my budget is not unlimited.

The LS-2 will do exactly what you want. 2 loops plus bypass. Run the fuzz and blues driver in one channel, leave the other open, and set it to "A+B/Bypass" - it will blend the A channel vs. B channel or if one of those is open, blend the active channel with the bypass signal.

The LS-2 is a VASTLY underrated pedal. You can use it to blend low end sucking effects, or (what I use it for) to have a completely 'safe' bypass signal that isn't affected by noisy etc. effects. So many other uses too...

Yup. Great little box. It can do all that, plus a lot more, plus it's a safeguard in case any of your pedals or connections goes bad in the middle of a gig. Just step on it, and bam, you are going bass-LS2-amp, hopefully bypassing all trouble.

one stupid question. when i leave channel b clean, do i need to plug a cable from b send back into b return, or will it automatically use a clean signal?

Yes.

Here is my rig right now...

Bass into Boss LS-2.

Chain A: Boss OC-2>Human Gear Animato>MJM Britbender> ZVEX Woolly Mammoth> Return
Chain B: Boss Compressor> Akai Deep Impact> Digitech Bass Synth Wah> Return
Output to Peterson Strobostomp> Marshall DBS 7200>Marshall 4x10

This pedal will be the best investment you ever make.

You don't need a cable AFAIK.

no cable required. It`s smart like that.
