Question about a Boss LS-2

[autodidact]

I've read that these can be used for switching between different sets of effects as well as for blending your clean signal with your FX signal but my question is this:

Rather than running something like a 60/40 clean to FX blend, is it possible to run 100% clean and 100% FX at once? Having essentially two complete signals running at the same time?

I'm looking at this pedal and I can only imagine the layering and ear drum destroying possibilites if it can do this.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just go 50/50? It would give you the same layering.

50/50 is just a reference to the ratio. On the LS-2, there is a bunch of boost on tap with each channel, but it sounds goofy to say you're running your pedals 165/125. Some others only have a max unity gain from each channel, but even then there is usually an overall boost from stacking two channels.

To answer the OP - yes.

The 12 o'clock position of the 2 knobs is 'roughly' unity (so 100% in your description). Rather than a mix or blend knob the LS-2 has a volume knob per loop. So you can balance/cut/boost as you see fit. Put effects in one loop, nothing in the other, set to 'A+B Mix mode' and hey presto - both signals in parallel and you just tweak the volumes to suit.
