Boss is still the boss
I am using this pedal to send my clean and distorted signal to my bass amp at the same time so i can fuzz it out of control and blend the clean back in so i dont totally lose my low end and fundamental tone. It works great. And as always Boss's gear is of exceptional quality.

No More Tap Dancing
I didn't know how much I needed this pedal. I can finally use one channel of my amp as a "2-channel amp" with only one foot press. I'm playing an original 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee, which is really just a one channel amp.

Before this pedal to go from a dirty sound to clean tone I would have
1. Turn off overdrive pedal
2. Roll down volume knob
3. Turn on compressor
4. Turn on chorus

That is 4 actions in the middle of playing. It was a pain, and I my playing suffered while switching.

Now it's just one foot press. Here's how... I have two loops set up.

Loop A is my "clean channel." It is a compressor, a chorus, and most importantly I have the volume lowered significantly using my LS-2. This gives a good clean tone on my amp.

Loop B is my Drive channel. I have an SD-1 already on, and in the loop I also have options of another overdrive pedal, and Maxon AF-9 to do the Marty Friedman thing.

This pedal is super versatile, and can be used in a ton of different ways. Definitely worthy of a spot on your pedalboard to simplify multiple pedal presses at once.

Makes Every Pedal a Bass Pedal
My bass pedalboard includes a couple of guitar OD pedals that are known for obliterating the low end; in researching various methods of preserving low frequencies, I started to appreciate the simplicity of the approach centered around the features of the Boss LS-2 Line Selector.

Because the dry signal is passed through the LS-2s channels (Channel A and Channel B) if they are not in use, you just send the effects loop through Channel A and leave Channel B unoccupied, set the output Mode to A+B Mix, and that's all there is to it. If you like, you can adjust the levels of each channel right at the pedal.

Before I put the LS-2 in my signal chain, the only use I had for my BD-2 was to add some scuzz to a chorus effect later in the path. Now I can run the Blues Driver as a DRIVER, and it sounds amazing. I highly recommend checking out the LS-2 and using it in this manner before committing to a multi-EQ-pedal solution or whatever else folks are doing.

One thing - the LS-2 is magic, but it's not magicAL. If your instrument doesn't have active pickups or otherwise isn't sending a particularly loud signal, you will likely need to put something with a little boost between the instrument and the Line Selector; in my case, a Source Audio Atlas compressor.

The only regret I have about picking up this pedal is that I waited too long to do so.

It Does the Thing!
Mixing A & B in parallel. Faultless, I may need a second one cause this is the nerve center of my pedal board live BUT would like to try some stuff recording. For the price, the possibilities it opens and the fact I'm not taking my board apart for a while- why not?
Music background: 25+ years on bass
Most userful pedal I own.
This is my second one. Bought my first one in the mid 90's. Always on my Bass pedal board used in various ways based on my needs and the moment. Still one of the best path management pedals.
