Boss LS-2

[HotRats]

For those of you who have experience with the Line selector, is it a tone sucker as many say or is it ok?
Have you ever tried it in a pretty hot fx loop....I'm not sure if it can handle it.

I have this idea to put one of these in my pedalboard to turn the jubilee serial loop into a parallel one, somenthing can be done with the line selector in A+B mix mode if place fx in A and connect B send to its return.

I know there are maybe better tools (like shur minix or the lehle parallel somenthing) but boss can be found cheap everywhere

It's not great tbh. Does the job, but the Lehle stuff is a lot higher quality.

 

[HotRats]

Yeah,I need something transparent otherwise it's not worth the extra weight, routing and money.

 

[Orvillain]

Spend the extra, is my advice.

 

[HotRats]

Thank you man.

probably the shur minimix is the best option here because can be placed underneath the pedalboard.
Lehles are huge.

I have one.

Noisy AF.
Not recommended.

 

[HotRats]

Thank you guys.
I'll choose somenthing else!

Those do look quite cool actually.

I would not dismiss the LS-2 as noisy per se.
Problem with many non true bypass pedals is, they are noisy when placed in front of amps, especially under hi gain. But this isn't actually the fault of the device, it rather lies in the nature of things.
The LS-2 of course is buffered, also the mixing needs to be buffered.

Now in case of HR's question, I'd say this would not be that of an issue, since he wants to use it in the loop of his Jubilee.
In case money is an issue, I'd just try the LS-2; if it does the job - well then fine.
Other than the LS-2, there are quite a few similar devices out there, of course.

It's true. I've got one here, and I fart in its general direction.

Looks nice and small, I'll take a look into it. I'm not sure it's easy to find them here in Europe.

This is great, basically the same as the suhr mini mix.
Having two loops would let me run delay and reverb in parallel.
Thank you.

I've just realized that RedSeven are an italian brand. It's a 2 hrs drive from home.

80 hours if you get captured and force fed pasta with red sauce, and rosey cheeked women.

One Control, they make good stuff, ime. I’ve had a few. Black Loop, White Loop and AB-Box. All worked great and they build quality things.
