How to separate my OC-3 signal, and bring it back together

It's not true bypass, but the Boss LS-2 is the simplest thing that will do what you want.

Just plug the effect out from the OC-3 into the input of the LS-2, the rest of the chain into one of the return jacks on the LS-2, put it on A+B mix mode, and there ya go.

 

Don't get the Loopmaster--that sort of passive device is crappy for recombining the split signals. The Boss LS-2 is a much, much better tool for the job. There are some even better tools than the Boss, but they cost more.

 

+1 on LS-2. I've owned mine for years and still find new things for it to do.

 

Does this mean you don't have to use the 'Send' on the LS-2?

 

Correct. One output from the OC2 in return A of the LS2, the other into return B. Set to A+B mix mode and it will output them both out of the LS2's main output.

I think the LS2 is one of the most useful utility pedals out there. There's just so much it can do.

 

Yes, this is exactly what I do when my electronic group plays gigs. I run my bass through the pedalboard, then into the input of the LS-2 sitting on top of my amp, and I have the output from a Nord Lead running into Return A, nothing plugged into either send jack, and then output to my amp. Mixes them perfectly, plus you have a separate volume knob to control each channel.
