BOSS
LS-2 LINE
SELECTOR
Compared to many of the other pedals
listed here, the Boss LS-2 is very
reasonably priced. You also can count on
there being units floating around for sale
in the endless sea of used Boss pedals.
The LS-2 has many routing options,
letting you play around with two separate
channels by combining them and blending
your dry signal against them. The trick to
using this pedal as a blender is routing
one channel's output to be its own input,
letting you “mix” between effects in one
loop with your dry signal through an
empty loop.
TRY THIS: Appease the dark Boss lords
by running your clean signal into a Boss
OC-2 Octave pedal, then running this into
the LS-2 Line Selector. In the LS-2 effects
loop, use the inimitable Boss FZ-2 Hyper
Fuzz. The Hyper Fuzz's Mode II is a very
aggressive scooped sound that almost
completely destroys the low end of a
bass. With the magic of blending, adjust
it to let that fat generated sub-octave
from the OC-2 blend with the bite of the
FZ-2, channeling one incredible stoner
rock or doom metal sound!
