Boss Pedals/Controllers

The Boss LS-2 Line Selector is a pedal that allows you loop your effect pedals so you can send your guitar straight to your amp and only use the effects when you want. This clears up your signal a great deal and the pedal is great for general cleaning up of your chain. It has 1/4 inputs and outputs for sending and returning your effects as well as for your amp and instrument. This is not a rackable unit as it is a stomp box. The configuration of the pedal is pretty straightforward and is easy to use. Once you learn how to use this to its full potential, its extremely helpful to clean up your sound and to loop your effects. I don't have a manual for this, so I don't know how complete it is. Being that this isn't really an effect pedal, I can't speak about the sound quality of it per say, but I can say that with this pedal your tone will be cleaner if you loop your effects pedals through it because it will eliminate noise that comes from your pedals when you are not using them. I have only used this with guitar, but will work fine with anything that you want to look effects with. The pedal won't color your sound and will help to make your clean tones shine for what they are without the noise that comes with using a few different effects pedals at once. I've been using the Boss LS-2 Line Selector pedal for about two years and have found it to be really helpful when playing live to clean up your sound. The pedal is easy to use and has a variety of different effective uses. It has the Boss seal so you know you're getting a high quality made product, even though the price tag is cheap. The LS-2 is definitely worth a look for those guitar players who like to use a bunch of different effect pedals at once.
