Questions & Answers

It would be nice to be able to control several guitar pedals with an expression pedal. Does the LS-500 have any advantages Is it possible to route an expression pedal to more than one pedal with 2?

There can be no more than two sets of pedal chains alternated on this pedal. are planning on controlling more than one pedal chain with an expression pedal, and still want to alternate between them, I recommend connecting the expression pedal to input A of this pedal, and then chaining everything up appropriately.

my guitar be fed into two different effects at the same time so that I can switch them off and on depending on where I am in the song? There is only one input on my amplifier. ?

In short, yes. It is possible to switch between 2 different effects sets, between a set of effects and a clean signal, or between both sets and a clean

The pedal can split the guitar signal and adjust the volume for each amp. Can the guitar signal be split into two amps within this pedal?

If you want to split a guitar amplifier into two, that's possible. The purpose of it was so I could switch between a clean signal from one amp and a more distorted signal from another. With regards to volume, you can adjust the volume on the amps. The pedal may or may not be able to adjust the My experience with it is limited since I haven't utilized many features Let me know if this was helpful

What is the possibility of sending a 50% bass signal to my amp and a 50% signal down my effect chain with this pedal? I would like to alter the percentages as I please (and if you don't mind?). ?

There is an option to set each level.

The pedal is great, but it wasn't new at the time
3/5

I love this pedal. It's like a Swiss Army knife for pedals. There is no restriction on how a pedal can be used with the inputs however, check the following As if the used/returned item was new, I was sent a used unit. The input jack showed scratches around the edge and the box had a bulge from being repacked. We appreciate it if you let us know if you find new items here are new or not. As long as it works, and it's a simple circuit, there is Reverb, on the other hand, would have cost me approximately $70 for a used one.

There is an undercurrent of hum like on vintage This pedal has a hum that I really wanted to love, but it unfortunately has
3/5

With an old pedal, you can hear every little thing if you plug it directly into your mixer, and until you have an expensive, high-end mixer, you won't be able to keep up It is possible to hear the underlying hum when using a high-quality pedal. With this pedal, you will find that to be the case. I have no noise coming from my Venturis, El Cap, Mel 9 or any of my TC pedals. That is not what I mean. It's now clear to you.

You need to clean up your signal chain! In addition to running in A+B mode, I also bought this
5/5

With this pedal, my effects are taken out of the main signal chain, which brings the signal back to its original state very effectively. I use an MXR M80 in conjunction with an MXR BASS COMPRESSOR into a SANSAMP PROGRAMMABLE BASS DI for my main tone which goes into the Boss LS-80 As a result of A two-loop effects patch is included in Version 2. For one loop, I am using a Boss Bass Chorus, and for the other loop, nothing is running, allowing me to use a clean sound. As a result of this pedal, I can blend any amount of chorus or clean tones I want, depending on my preference. I can't even begin to describe how warm and professional my tone has become as a result of this pedal. Five.

There is no better pedal in my RIG than this one
5/5

A revised project of mine requires a way to fire between an amp and a separate PA to play modulated effects. I was planning to put a new board together and needed a small way to light the bridge between the two. The system allows me to do things exactly as I want without latency, lag, or other issues. Channel selectors are not as good as this. The RIG selector is used to select the appropriate RIG. Get this switch for your switching needs. You can fire between 3 selected "rigs", whatever those are for you, effortlessly. I use mine to bounce around between my death metal gain guitar tone on my amp, then straight over to the house PA for a sample, synth, effect, etc. It's a 10/10.

You might find it works with your rig, but it ruined the tone on mine
3/5

You may find it works for others, but it ruined the tone on mine. In a 2x12 or 4x12 cabinet, I am running a Marshall 18 watt head. As a result of This tone would have been much more harsh and bright if 2. My opinion is that this is not a good buffer. I have found it to be useful and works as advertised. The pedal is extremely versatile in that you can select different lines or loops based on how you set it up. The aim was to use it to switch between my normal channel and trem channel with a delay in my normal channel loop. As far as I was concerned, the change in my tone of voice just didn't sit well with me. I used the same pedals on both loops as well, so it wasn't the pedals. This is not the case with any other rig I've tried, so not sure whether this is a problem specific to the amp in question. Oddly enough, my TU is not working The 3rd, my BD - I have a SD-card and two 2's In contrast to 1, the LS- 1 does not have this effect on tone In 2 cases, they According to the documentation, this amp seems very particular about which buffer it prefers. As described in the In the case of DD-20, in the case of It also doesn't sound great with 3 on it. had hoped it would be a Boss delay issue, but it wasn't. The best buffers are not all the same. I was thinking about the Compared to the other versions, 2 does not do as well on my rig. When you can, go ahead and try before you buy. The product was returned to the seller.

This foot switchable effects loop can be used for a variety of effects
5/5

In the past, I had a Peavey Bandit 112, and the foot switchable effects loop made it possible to create complex sound effects. As a matter of fact, I thought it was quite useful. The problem is. As a result of life happening, I sold the amplifier. It was newer than the Bandit 112 I replaced it with years later. My favorite thing about the amp now is that you can switch on the boost from a foot switch. This pedal enables me to do that. This was one of the options I found when searching for some options and it seemed to be the best option for me. That is the best way to describe it. In this loop, the effects occur as the return/send and the input/output go through the loop. You have the option of setting Line A/Bypass using the right knob. You may need to tweak the red and green knobs slightly in order to ensure that the bypassed volume matches the effects.

Switcher for lines that belong to boss
4/5

The pedal is great. It is an excellent alternative. It can run two different chains, both dirty and clean, at the same time. Depending on your needs, you can choose to switch between one or both at the same time, or have both off with just you clean tone running. Additionally, I am pleased to know that you can adjust the volume for each individual channel. Those big expensive switchers can be replaced by smaller, cheaper.

This problem has been resolved! What has happened to this little thing all my life? I have been stumped over It has been decades since the B dilemma began
5/5

By using this button, you can toggle between A and The output of the deck can be routed through the "shared" effects (e. g. , reverb, compressor, volume pedal, looper). Your amplifier will then be connected from there. This is a fantastic.
