"loop-ception" need a small single loop pedal

Do you have anything that you leave on all the time? If you do, could it be cutting some frequencies in your bass signal, or reducing the volume slightly so that it hits the front end of the amp less hard? Either of those could cause the undesirable tone change.


My other question is: when you are running clean, do you leave the LS-2 running with everything in the loops turned off? Because if you do then turning the LS-2 off will remove half of the pedals from the chain, and boost your volume, since at the moment the LS-2 looks like it's set up for a volume cut.

There are moments when i turn my LS-2 off and have my signal "dry". Mostly i run the LS-2 to putt effects onto my "dry" signal. Even when all my pedals are off (so i bypass everything looped into my LS-2) my tone is a little lacking.

check your cables too, I had a similar issue with my board and diy lava cable kit. One of the cable leads didn't have good contact. Easy fix.

alternatively, you can build a dual loop bypass switch for about 35 dollars in parts if you are even semi-proficient in the ways of soldering.
some guys can build you a buffer into a loop pedal.

I am in the process of "finalising" my board and making custom patch cables so maybe this will help. but i am def thinking of making a loop straight after my tuner anyways to give me peace of mind if anything goes wrong.

I went through a bunch of loop pedals and have found none better than the GigRig Loopy-2. I realize it's two loops and maybe a little wider than you were hoping, but man the relay based switching is sooooo nice. Many loops that I tried had large amounts of switching noise when engaging and disengaging. This one solved that.

keep the options coming i am researching them all.
