PYPB 37: In a row?

So I just bought a boss ls-2 and and really confused on how I would use it in my setup. What I want to use it for is to send the dry out of my whammy to my two muffs and then send that back out to another amp with just the muffs in there.
bass
whammy(two outs, one wet and one dry) i want both the wet and dry signal to go to the muffs
blah blah

send 1 out to an amp and send another out to another amp.
I don't follow...
Is it:
Wet>Amp1
Dry>Muff1 into Muff2>Amp2

or

Wet>Amp1
Dry>Muff1 and Muff2 blended in parallel>Amp2

or

Wet>Muff1>Amp1
Dry>Muff2>Amp2

or something else?

I want both muffs to go to both amps, but only send the wet signal of the whammy to just 1 and the dry of the whammy to another. It's a bit confusing, i spent 3 hours just staring at it and trying to draw maps but to no avail hah.
 
So it sounds like you want:

Whammy 1 - > Muff 1
Whammy 2 -> Muff 2

and the Muffs both go to the same mixer/blender/panner. The tricky thing is, once you blend the signals together, you'll want to split the signal again to go to either amp. It sounds like either

1) you need a mixer on your board, with multiple ins and outs
2) you need an LS-2 or a EB Pan, and an A/B/Y or something to split the signal to each amp
3) what you're trying to do is way overkill

I would love to see an underside shot of your board Jean to see how it's all tidied up and powered.

I was waiting for Randy's Revenge before I tidied up the innards but I'll take a pic and post later.

Jean,

How do like the PJB? Does it take pedals well?

I think the PBJ cabs take pedals well and I like them but they don't have a ton of "girth" - I tried to get my wife to use them for a gig (she plays bass too) and she totally prefers my old Accugroove El Whappo. Even with the two, they don't push past drum volume too well - but for doing solo bass they are great.

Wow Jean. Just fantastic. I'll be looking at those photos often just because it's so nice!

Amazing Jean! Such a great collection and put together so stylishly and smart. You could almost hang it on the wall when you aren't playing through it.

A few posts?!? After seeing the face of God (AKA - Jean's board), I'm waiting for a few threads before posting mine again.

Amazing as always, Jean!


My understatement of the day, "I like Jean's boards."

Beautiful board, Jean! Exactly what my dream board would look like if it was a reality.

Must...resist...G.A.S. for...custom direct......pedal board!

Thanks again, guys... would love to say I'm done, but already have my eyes on that Strymon Flint and probably going make a couple of other minor changes soon. Got to switch focus to updating my computer and recording hardware.
 
Latest reincarnation of my pedalboard before getting my qtron today. OC-2 into LS-2, loop a is muff into VTbass, loop b is Metal zone into rat, which give a nice nasally distortion, with a lot of noise. Output into a ODB-3 which I use for lead bass tone and dd3. When qtron is in, it will go after the ODB.

Cheers
 
Will be replacing the MXR with either a Boss DD3/DD7 or a Digitech Digidelay, just waiting for one to pop up second hand.
Also will be replacing the expression pedal with a Boss one.

Was forced to drop the DL4 and Russian muff when i got the Hog, so being forced to give the Swollen Pickle another shot.
Making do with an analog delay....(haaaate it) till i get a digital one.

That HOG looks sexy! :bassist:

Haha yeeeah man... Have considered this. And it's possible I suppose, but I remember buying the PT1 for the sole reason as not to get TO carried away. I get enough crap about being a pedal nerd from my buddies as is.

Plus, spent about 4 hours jamming this board with some guitar/drum loops today, sorting out levels etc for my octaves, and the Pickle was actually sounding quite nice, I'm more of a OD/Distortion kinda guy so fuzz only has to be par.

F'n love my Hog! Can see it pretty much being always on from now... on. :cool:
