Sorry. Wasn't trying to gloat, just publicly show appreciation. It's the DOD phasor 201 reissue. Really good sounds out of it. Love how it doesn't go over the top wooshy. Good sounds from the whole speed dial. Sounds good on top but got a lil boomy in the tip top speed. Sounds fantastic with my acoustic/electric which I've been planning to make a small all analog/no dirt/old school board for. I believe they're limited edition as well, which makes it extra special. This being a gift will be one of those pieces of gear that never gets sold. Kinda like your DOD delay :)



Edit:I realize upon post-post review that I typed "sounds" 4 times.

About a blend/ harmony level. A trick I've used is to run a whammy in a loop of a boss ls2. Instead of using octave up harmony on the whammy use octave up whammy and you can control the volume of the harmony with the ls2

Nephilymbass, do you use your whammy on a few settings or do you use a variety? Only reason I ask is because I used to run my whammy(DT) like that and while it was better from a mixing standpoint I felt that for my tastes, having the dry signal there for every setting was distracting because sometimes I wanted everything to be pitch shifted uniformly. Now I run my Bass whammy ahead of my LS-2 and honestly it seems to have made the whammy quieter.

Thanks, Nephilymbass, but this routing via the Boss LS-2 you describe above controls the volume of the overall signal - which includes both the root and the harmony. What I'm talking about is the ability on the pedal to adjust the volume of each (or at worst just the harmony).

Are you sure? 28 hz is like an octave below a Low B string, I believe. What are you playing that goes down there? That might be the lowest piano note!

The fundamental of a low B is about 30-31 Hz.

I think what he's saying is that if you use regular whammy modes instead of harmony modes, you can simulate the harmony by running the Whammy in one LS-2 loop and your dry signal through the other. And the LS-2 gives you volume control over both parts. However, the limitation is that I don't think you can get all of the equivalent harmony modes doing it this way. But I don't know that one way or the other because I don't own it, I don't remember the various intervals off of the top of my head, and I don't 100% understand how the stated intervals work in harmony mode.

Yes you

You can use an ls2 as a blend. I've done it. But yeah of course you lose out on some of the harmonies because your blending the whammy setting with what your actually playing and the whammy side doesn't have all the harmonies. It does have octave up though is someone really wanted to try tweak an octave/8 sting type of sound.

I've got a question for Boss LS-2 users.
I use an OLD bass whammy and I realised that when mixed (A+B mix mode, A loop=Whammy, B=nothing=clean signal, same level for A and B) with my clean signal through the LS-2, if the whammy is bypassed (=off) my signal is really thin. This means the phase is inverted. It's not the case if the whammy is turned on, depressed and in example in "Octave up shift" mode, thus signal is not inverted...
Did anyone experimented the same ?
And by the way, does the NEW bass whammy invert phase when turned on ?

Two things I think but am not sure of:
(1) It's true bypass?
(2) True bypass shouldn't invert phase?
