EBS Micro Bass FX Loop and a Boss Volume/Expression Pedal

FV500SendReturn.gif


Will this work?

Hopefully this pic is worth 1000 words...
 
Anyone? BTW the small block with 2 lines is supposed to be a TRS plug, and the other 2 are supposed to be TS ones. One TS would connect to the tip on the TRS, and the other would connect to the ring of it.

The FV-500H that I'd be using has a mono in, mono out, and stereo EXP jacks.

Im hoping for a definitive answer from the TB effects wizards before I just go out and get the TRS->2xTS adapter and just blindly try it :) Im basically trying to keep the cords that are off-board down to a minimum.
 
Ok, two issues.

1. the fx loop is parallel and blended, and IME it never gets to 0% or 100% blend.

2. Whether that cable works depends on the specific wiring of the EXP section of that pedal. It might, but I can't be sure. Try it and see. I can think of a few possible reasons why NOT to use this approach though, but again I can't be sure it those issues will be present in this case.
