How sick is this?

TB loop with a blend pot? and a feedback controler/blend?

Like the pitch says, it seems like the potential for a bass player to add low end back to an effects chain would be amazing!

It's popular around here. I used it for years and it does exactly what it says on the tin. There are quite a few threads on it already. The Feedback loop gets really interesting if you have delays or filters in your loop but I never actually found a use for it. It's more of a gimmick but kind of cool to have if you want to sound like the devil's bowels at the flick of a switch.

Note- The blend pot can be fiddly to set exactly right without losing volume or being too loud. I ended up compressing everything after just to keep it in check.

I'm pretty sure this was addressed at some point-- did yours have the Polarity switch, or was it before they offered it? Some effects flip your phase, so there is a switch on some of the at least allowing you to dial in the desired blend without a volume drop.

With buffered devices like the LS-2, this isn't an issue.
