ok thanks.. I'll give it a go when mine turns up.
if what you say is true, there's a lot of Videos out there that don't realise this.

How to hook up an LS-2 as a Wet/Dry Blend

Agree. A lot of misinformation. And the manual is not helping. It gives a "Mode Description" that only confuses things.

Second posting has the diagram. No need to plug in anything if you want a clean B-channel. It's in the manual as well.

I know! I think it used to be. I've seen it before, but it wasn't in the one I downloaded recently. @ceetee added the link above, and I just screen-shot it for easier consumption.
yeah, I found the post and downloaded 4 images which make up two pages..
My pedal came with a sample settings sheet. That's were the diagram is from. Dunno if they omit that sheet now...
The one in getting is from a music shop as 'Pre Owed'. I'm guessing the package has been opened and been used in a demo. They're offering 6 months warranty so I'm hoping it's all there.
Getting it for a good price.
ok.. LS-2 arrived and I DID NOT get any manual or sample settings sheet but I have all the info I need on this pedal.
I can confirm though, that what you've said above is absolutely correct and that you dont need to link SEND to the RETURN to route it back to the OUTPUT. This is true of both loops. All you'll hear is what you put into the INPUT but you can control the volume by the LEVEL knobs.
If you select A + B MIX with the pedal active and you have both LEVELs turned all the way down, you will not hear anything from the OUTPUT. If then you press for BYPASS, your INPUT comes through to your Amp.
Thank you all for you help on this.
If you need me, you know where I am..

Glad it worked out! Like you wrote, there's a lot of misinformation on YT. That makes it very confusing for the users of this great pedal.

I've also worked out that I don't need to buy a 2nd LS-2..
In Loop A, I'll put an MXR Vintage Bass Octive and the Boss OC-3 (but only using the Drive)
In Loop B, I'll have the Aguilar Filter Twin.
I was worried that the Filter Twin takes too much bottom end off so I needed to add some Dry to it.
Turns out that what with it having both Up and Down filters, I can turn the Down Velocity right down which then makes it Dry. I can then Blend that with the Up filter..
All is good..
