My newest pedalboard idea

Sign in to disble this ad


Make sense to anyone else but be? I'll explain it more in a little bit. Might add a 3leaf Groove Regulator after the MicroPOG, right before the signal is split. Could I use a Y-cable to split the signal into 2 paths out of the "effect out" of my MicroPOG? Can the Boss LS-2 run parallel channels like I want it to? Or do I have to put everything in the loop? I don't want to. I want to be able to leave both A and B on at all times, and control everything by turning on the actual pedals.

1) Why do you want to split it that way out of the uPog? Going bass-->uPog-->LS2-->Flange with VD and SP in loop A and Pulsar and RV5 in loop B would be the same, and you don't have to use a Y cable, which is kinda questionable.

2) Tremolo in a parallel FX chain can be kinda weak. Have you tried it? What you might want is a stereo tremolo, using left for one of your loops and right for the other.

I might just end up building a box with one input and 2 outputs. $10 in parts.

1) The idea is to run the fuzz and overdrive in parallel channels. The reverb and the tremolo come before the fuzz. That way I can have a huge wall of sound kind of thing going on by turning on the reverb before the fuzz. But still keep some tightness by running the OD underneath the chaos.

2) Same idea with the tremolo. It will only be used with the fuzz, giving me a super choppy fuzz sound. With some clean/OD running under it.

So go Bass -> Micro POG -> LS-2 -> (A: Overdrive, B: Trem, Verb, Fuzz) -> Flanger.

You don't need to split the signal at the Micro POG, you can do it at the LS-2 and stick the other pedals in its loops.

I guess I could just leave both channels on at all times, and turn off the fuzz and OD by turning the actual pedals off.

Oh, word, I couldn't follow the lines in the pic, but my point stands, whatever you put in whatever loop. LS-2 will do the splitting for you. Kev has you sorted.

So you've abandoned the multi-pedal fuzz thing?
