  • Boss LS-2 or equivalent?

    I guess I was living in a cave, because I didn't know that something like the Boss LS-2 Line Selector pedal existed until today. Since a couple of my amps don't have effects loops, and others are missing the footswitch to control the loop, this is looking like exactly what I need. Right now, my setup is something like this:

    1.) tuner
    2.) distortion/multi-effects (chorus, reverb)
    3.) delay

    From there, I just go into the amp clean channel. However, I also have a 1/2-rackspace EQ and rackmount noise gate that usually have run in the effects loop. I'd like to try an LS-2, run the delay and EQ in the LS-2's loop to kick on for solos, and then to the noise gate and out to the amp.

    The the LS-2 a pretty reliable unit? Any glaring flaws? My goal is to have everything I need right on my board, so I can connect to whatever amp I want with just a single cable. This would have been really handy in the studio, but I didn't know they made such a thing.

    It's Boss, I've heard there is some tone suckage. I use an ADL Switchbox ( web page) - I have the double unit, it's totally true bypass, (unlike the Boss LS-2), & it has no effect on the sound when the loops are off. It also has a power out jack for powering other pedals.

      Do you use the ADL power cables too (for powering other pedals), or can you use a daisy-chain cable like the Boss version? That pedal looks like it'd work out great, but I definitely want something that powers my Boss pedals with no problem.

        I just use the Boss daisy chain, it was like $12 at Guitar Center, works great.
