Good Parallel Effects loops

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.

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.

Yep, this is a great pedal, but I still use my LS-2 too. I don't see why it would "kill tone"

If you want a boutique made one, id look up [url="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brightonion.co.uk%2F&ei=IIHqU43EDujY7AaH_4DACw&usg=AFQjCNFxorXX_uoXxBmnpnPbn-y_rmAMOw&bvm=bv.72938740,d.ZWU"]bright onion[/url]. He'll build you one that will suit what you need it for.

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. :)

Stock answer from me for anything these days;

Ask Tom from COG to make one for you!

A few of us on here have parallel loops with phase inversion. Also i get solid snake on it.

Interesting! I play with loads of top end so should be able to notice but I've never done the experiment. I do have both pedals so may try it out at some point
