Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

View attachment 742199
Is this how the LS-2 works?

Basically bass into Bluebeard then a loop with (synth w/expression, filter, delay)
Tuner out, and the grey speck back in line and out to amp? So the modulated stuffs blended into the clean/dirty direct line?
You might be better off putting the tuner 1st in your signal chain so it can mute everything. Then put the grey speck in the second loop. Do you always have the Bluebeard on?

I wouldn't use the tuner in the loop, personally. If you do this kind of setup there's no clean signal, not sure if you're going for that. The only way to use the LS-2 as a clean blend is to leave one loop empty, but anything that is in the signal chain before the input is going to go through that "channel", so if you have a fuzz pedal before it and that's on, there's no clean.

Tuner you have a point. I saw a poster online detailing how it worked so I punched in my hypothetical version of the diagram I saw. Don't even have half those pedals.

Nothing's always on ever

Basically I wanted to have a clean or dirty tone, but dont want my Bluebeard or grey speck pushing that set of pedals as its gonna be effected enough. Even then I'm not sure that's what I want.

Probably the best way to do that would be to do the A or B setting and put the Bluebeard in one loop and the other set of pedals in the other, with the tuner at the beginning or end of the chain. Then it will just be set to one loop or the other and the stomp switches which.

hmm, I'm gonna just read the manual online after work and see if that unscrambles things for me.


Jesus is my safety.

Thinking of warmer places whilst living in Texas? A light jacket or hoodie may be cheaper than a move.

Ha true, but I want max sunshine. Winters cold and grey and ugly. I'd stay here, but if I absolutely decide to move and not because of an incredible offer, I want to be able to dress in flip flops and shorts year round... And not look odd for doing it.

Just got the cthulu in. It had something rattling around in it so I open it and this thing falls out. Looks like it's just a stand off I'm just wanting to verify it before I do anything. Also is it best to just re hot glue this?

Uhhhhh dude that's a 5 watt, 1 kilo ohm cement power resistor. Those are used as dropping resistors for the high voltages of big tube amps. I honestly don't know *** one is doing in a pedal??
