I have an idea for a pedal to build, basically a 1590A mini enclosure with a momentary switch that would simulate an expression pedal fully down then when pressed fully up. Thought behind it would be for a non latching octave up paired into a line 6 M5. Is this possible at all? I tried to just use a tap tempo pedal I built but sadly it didn't work! Any help would be great

I don't think so, I tried a few different cables in every different position. I was able to get the output level back up by enabling the boost in the LLM but the thump and low end remained gone, just a hotter thin signal. I have read a few reports about LLMs causing tone lose, and then some of the opposite so I guess QC may not be fantastic in the AMT factory? Who knows!

Well after taking my pedal board apart and connecting each pedal individually - turns out it's the LLM2 there was no tone loss at all with everything except it and then when it's in the chain, good bye low end and about 40% of my signal strength! So it's being returned, what a shame because it's such a nice little pedal

So I've started to get into effects and while I love having my pedals especially for ambient stuff I've noticed that quite a lot of my low end has disappeared which is very disappointing! My current signal chain is: Fender Jazz 5 (passive) -> Boss TU2 -> EHX Octave Mutliplexer -> Earthquaker Devices Speaker Cranker -> EHX Bass Big Muff -> AMT LLM2 -> Line 6 M5 (in true bypass mode) -> Boss DD20 -> Ashdown LB30. I occasionally run an Avalon U5 between the board and the amp which can help bring the bottom end back a bit but it's borrowed so I would usually just use whatever DI is avaioable for FOH. I'd really like something on my board to get my thump back and have a good DI for FOH all the time! I'm pretty open to any suggestions and size isn't a huge concern but I'm pretty sure I don't need one of those massive programmable 3 channel ones! The more affordable the better too but I know good tone isn't cheap
