Raslee Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I could with some advice if poss folks -i don't normally do effects until now. I want to have one clean bass guitar signal going direct to my amp and also a signal going to my effects unit ...basically a mix between straight clean signal to my amp and and one going to the effects - both being able to be played together or solo'd. I've got this this Behringer pedal that i haven't tried out yet, namely a AB200 A/B switch, not sure if this i going to allow me to do this or do i needa bypass thingy - how do they work? As i say i want to be able to switch my effects in and out whilst still playing a clean signal direct to my bass amp...ideally the clean signal will be switchable also so that i can run just the effects signal if needs be. Does this make any sense? i can be a bit dumb at explaining myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 So you want to able to switch between clean bass, effected bass and a blend of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskimoBassist Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 This could be done with the Morley Blender - a mixable effects loop, controlled by an expression pedal. Youc an go from 100% dry to 100% wet (and everything in between) to taste and switch on the fly by using your foot. Pretty cool, huh?

Otherwise you could hit up sfx, he's done a lot of custom work for members on this forum and has many happy customers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My amp is at our studio at the mo so i am unable to try this (silly Q coming) - when using the effects send and return does the main signal to the bass amp remain on or does it automatically switch off? I'm using a Orange Terror Bass amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just been looking at these too: [url="http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vbjr.html"]http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vbjr.html[/url] & [url="http://www.xotic.us/effects/x_blender/"]http://www.xotic.us/effects/x_blender/[/url] - look interesting. I've also got a guy offering to build an A/B thats works both on/off or A or B unlike my Behringer pedal and then a Y box to put my signal from my effects to mix with my bypass clean bass sound then to the amp, £73 i think is what he said.

Often come up in the FX For Sale thread, typically £40-45 secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Arguably the most flexible solution (and a much sexier design than the LS-2) would be an S&M box from Silent Fly here on Basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
