Would This Be Too Much Looping?

[rockstarbassist]

Say if I set my LS-2 to A <-> B only, and then got a single loop pedal to active the LS-2, would that be too much signal degradation or not?

If not, it'd be a MUCH cheaper alternative than having a new custom looper done w/ 2 loops, master bypass, and volume controls for each!

Most custom loopers are passive, they work extremelly badly in parallel.
As a matter of fact, the Boss LS-2 is the only 2 parallel loop product on the market.
What you want to do will work just fine but why not using the A->B->bypass mode instead ?
I have an ongoing mod for my ls-2 to allow series looping on it and A->a+b modes as well.

Well I just want to be able to go A -> clean and then B -> clean without having to cycle through.
Sometimes clicking on an effect(s) during a song is confusing enough when you have to do one click, much less two!
Otherwise I love the LS-2. Great product.

Also A+B isn't as important, as I'm separating my modulation/delay/chorus fx into one, and my od/boosts into another, and would rarely (if ever) use them together.

yeah i know a lot do but for my current needs i won't be doing much of that.

i'd much rather do this option- anymore thoughts?
