JapanAxe Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Not quite sure what you are asking there, Al. On an amp, you may have either serial or parallel loops, or both, or one with a mix control that effectively sweeps between the two extremes. If you mean a pedalboard gadget for mixing effected sound in with your clean signal, then you are looking at things like the Boss Line Selector or the GigRig Wet Box.

Guest FretNoMore Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Boss LS-2, Xotic X-Blender, Badger Schism ... loads of others to choose from. Try Googling parallel effects loop pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-the-Bassman Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 yeah , I'm looking for ones that don't kill my tone ( boss LS-2) and pedals that have good features, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Lehle is another high end brand if money is not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Another good choice are the Barge Concepts VB2 or VB-jr pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Look at the SFX Loop Logic. I've got one, not cheap but it's a nice design. One stomp per channel so you can switch them individually, and top quality buffered bypass so it doubles as a great line driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowsky Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 if you just want a true-bypass looper, look at the Bright Onion stuff, he's a great guy and in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I got a Vein Tap "The Noose" true bypass looper made to the format of my choice for a great price. Lovely chap and great pedal: https://www.vein-tap.com/product-category/true-bypass-loopers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FretNoMore Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't think there is any noticeable tone suck with the LS-2 either, it's a quite good pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it would "kill tone"[/quote] I definitely noticed a loss of treble content when using an LS-2 as a line driver (with it in bypass mode). My board used to be based on an LS-2 with the only pedal that was always in my signal chain being the LS-2. The difference between going through that and going straight to the amp was really obvious. I replaced it with the Loop Logic and the difference is barely noticeable. I should add though I didn't ask Max to design the Loop Logic purely because of the LS-2's buffer quality. It was more because I wanted two stomp switches to control the two channels. I need to be able to switch each channel on and off independently and despite the LS-2's wealth of switching options that just isn't possible without two switches. And it's lovely that he built it in a Boss-sized box with the switches close enough together to stomp both of them at once. I really love that pedal and it's still the key unit on my board. I do still rate the LS-2 as a budget 2-channel mixer though. Edited August 12, 2014 by thisnameistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have both pedals so may try it out at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
