Recommend me a line selector pedal thing

Post by VREEEEVROOOOOW »

I have a JC & some pedals. I wanna go from my MXR Distortion+ directly into one of the amp inputs, & then I want to pass that same signal onto all the other pedals too, and have the whole shebang go into the other amp input. What's the simplest/cheapest pedal (or other way) of doing this? Some volume control would be useful too.

:erm: I hope I'm not reading this wrong but this may be the answer hidden in plain sight? There's gotta be a way to set that up with this thang

So you’d go [instrument] > MXR D+ > Boss LS-2 [loop A] > Amp 1 and then [loop B] > FX > Amp 2?

Boss LS-2 will do that and control levels for both..... and you can buy one for like $50 used

@ghost I'm pretty sure there is, yeah.
@retinal More or less. I suspected an LS-2 were able to do that. Ta for the confirmation.

I'll pay attention to someone locally selling one of those. They're not quite that cheap over here (nothing is), but they're OK-ish if I can get one w/o having to pay shipping.

I’d probably get a Radial ABY for that. The LS-2 will do what you want but it’s either A+B on or bypass if I remember correctly? An ABY will let you isolate either side. Just run the other effects off of one side and the DS+ first in line.

You could do that also with the new EHX Switchblade Pro :
