All user reviews for the Boss LS-2 Line Selector

Line selector (read switcher, A / B box)
Two independent loops with adjustable level (- infinity, + 20db)
8 connectors:
- 1 input power supply
- 1 output power supply (200mA max)
- 2 jack> bypass
- 4 jack> the two loops
100% analog.
Many modes of connection, each input / output jack can act differently in different modes.

Very simple to use, the manual helps a lot, and, no need to grind 4h head to know how to connect everything according to what we want to do.

No effect or a product, it is not the goal, however, it helps to create: the fashion "AB mix" effects placed in each loop are compared with independently adjustable level. We can thus mix multiple effects them or the sound of an effect with the clean sound of the instrument (if no pedal is active in one of the loops).

For cons, the presence of a substantial blow, even in bypass (not true as in all boss pedals), nothing serious but it's important enough to be noticed.

I use it for almost a year with a low use to mix the clean sound and the sound of a Big Muff (pedal guitarist who "eats" a lot of serious bass) or between other effects (Boss ODB-3 for example). This pedal allows me to keep clean bass sound with the attack and the crunch of another effect, perfect for a bass player who is looking for specific sounds while playing in a group.

There are many opportunities to use this pedal, it can be helpful to anyone, and, in addition, is almost unique in its class.

Only negative point for me: the price around 100 € new, it is expensive (to find used), and the ubiquitous breath.

DualLoops Switcher + / / A and B, with A & B 2xLevels Send separated selector 2 +1 to 1, 1 to 2 1 Distributor: super versatile size, and very well thought out!

The trouble (for me): NO PhaseInversion switch 180 ° on the loop: I do not put my peus DynaComp Compressor (which is antiphase I / O!) For parallel compression! This checker is not designed on some FX TopTop!

Manual short but explicit = nickel

Not true bypass, but the sound is very clean like Boss!
In addition, we gain upto 10 dB for loop A and B = ok
Impedance of 1 Mohm input = 3x = ok for all instruments + Mixing
3 output impedance low = ok driver for up to 20m cable.

Only 15 days, case toujour as strong!
Very good Q / P!

A / B Box Boss analog.
An input, output, 2 loops (meaning A and B, return A and B)
6 modes of operation (white button)
2 volume knob (A and B)

Everything is well explained in the user manual ... without palaver, only with schematics!
I think everyone should find his account!

About me, I do not use at home, alone or with friends, to compare the gear without unplugging everything every time!

-Many guitars on the same amp.
-Many with the same guitar amp
-Many of the same preamp PowerAmp
-And even mix the two preamp ..

But it can also be used to have different effects loop LS2 in an amp FX Loop, or front, depending on the effects!

Seems it is not True Bypass!
She can breathe a little on some devices (therefore not all!)

I've had two years and it makes me service for my small game characters!
I got to Cygnus for little more than half its original price so it's a good shot!

Analog looper pedal, row selector, etc ... Swisse knife!

6 jack inputs behave differently depending on how you want to use the pedal (Swisse knife).

Input and output power supply to receive and distribute power from a transformer, more good.

Not true bypass pedal.

Two knobs allow you to manage the volume of a particular loop or a particular line, convenient, people use it to mix the volumes of tackiness effects used simultaneous A and B which can give very nice rendering sound.

Manages a knob on the mode selected, I will detail them all but there are not plenty to provide any combination or use you intend for the pedal (Swisse knife).

The general configuration is a bit complicated but a comprehensive manual with explanatory diagrams of all possible uses, so it finally comes out easily.

The pedal does its job, even if it is not true bypass, the bypass is relatively transparent and there is no noise when changing line or loop.

His route the sound to anything, I used it for my looper effects on a pedalboard guitar / bass.

I used it for over a year until I decided to separate my boards guitar and bass and to reduce them. It was perfect for me to activate multiple effects simultaneously with a single press of the foot. And volume knobs allow me to equalize the effects of free volume with the total volume of Songs or a concert.

Only model I had, it is comprehensive and can serve multiple purposes.

The price / quality ratio is very good when compared to other pedals loopers market (Radial Tonebone looper, for example), in contrast to a line selector ABY, it is expensive, for example, in short it must target its purchase, if you just want the ABY, do not bother to offer it.

If I was brought one day want to re-expand my board, it would be to blow the game ...

This pedal is not an effect per se, but is a kind of looper, selector output, and finally use are mutiple if indeed we need in ate.

It's the Boss so no surprise it's strong! For the connection has already been said, an input for the guitar, and a Ouput Bouble two effects (A and B) but can be converted into an Input and 3 Output .... Three knobs, one volume régalge for each of the two loops and a selector for the type of closure and use.

Very easy to use, everything is very well explained in the manual anyway with a max of examples of uses!

A pedal very, very effective if it is needed, it is usually chosen for use in precise we will not have fun to change all the connections when connected! But the use can be so varied that this pedal is a true "Swiss knife", a true marvel ptite!
Personal I use to bypass my Pod A Move to the loop located between the guitar and amp.

The volume knobs are useful to adjust the levels of the two loops from the direct signal or otherwise voluntarily or moderate to boost one or the other, or both.
Note that this pedal, even if it does not have "True Bypass", is perfectly transparent when not activated.

I have recently, and I'm already hooked! this pedal is great!

It's the Boss so I am not too worried about his future and any problems I might encounter! I repeat a thousand times the same choice.
This pedal has no equivalent or competitor in the same price range, or he must go and look at the big loopers of "trick-thingy" to several hundred dollars.
Good value for money even though it's always a little bit of snap 100 Euros for a stomp box that is not really a ... LS-2 but this really simplifies life and once adopted it does not want to part with it!

Pedaled selection of chains of effects.
CRER possibility of two spare booucles effects and control via the various settings (A <-> B; Bypass <-> A; Bypass <-> B; Bypass <-> A <-> B ; Bypass <-> A + B output select
Each loop possde an independent volume control.
In addition, this pedal can be used to power other effects.
In addition, the LED light can well see what triggers loop (green in A and B red)

The manual gives several examples of configuration for the pedals.
This does not edit his pedals.
The connection is very simple just plug in the correct order and you're playing.

As for the edition of the sounds there are ways to CRER combined effects. Indeed, the mix position can not mix the sounds they modulate them (exmple a filter in A and B modulation gives a mixture of sounds but not a modulation filter is obtained by connecting two pedals below).
Other possibilities do not plug in loop pedals that can be used for various SETTING THE volumes.

I possde few hours.
The principle of selection of string is handy when you want to engage several effects at the same time, the screens and click on the LS2 to have it all at once.
The possibility of creating combined effects (and unlinked open to new ideas with the old pedals.
The little extra is the ability to power several pedals made room ssur power strip that supplies the chain effect.
As against the pedals is CHRE for what it is because it sounds and does not edit it costs as much as a phaser or a delay.
The LS2 is the new version of the old pedals PSM 5 boss that worked on the same principle but with a single loop and not volume.
So a nice choice, but it must be useful, or when a small stock of pedals really want to have to invest in this product.

The PDAL is a A / B box loopable Micro format to pedal in BOSS
You have an input, an output and two sends / returns two loops A and B
There is also a slecteur mode (A / B, A / bypass, B / bypass, A / B / Bypass, A + B / Bypass), and two potentiomtres rgler for the volume of each loop ( and I stress the loop mode A / B box simple, the pots have no effect, the volume is rgl at the back of sound in the loop and not before)

The configuration could not be simpler, the only limit is your imagination the pedals. Since this is not a fact, rglage could not be more explicit and objective in terms of what you want.
The manual? I have not needed it so simple, it is an A / B box!

I use it now either A / B box with two amps to be simple to loop with two amps for a wholesale channel with distos and a channel with modulation effects on its clear, with a compressor input e. I do not fix on my final configuration since my PDAL board is being finalized.
What j'apprcie is that the bypass is neutral, no transformation of the sound (it could have on the A / B box in digitech cheap as, for example) on the other hand I noticed that a little bit of spring when the same when a channel is supposed to be disables, but it is not given the low level Gnant

I use it for some time but I am satisfied with their purchase.
J'apprcie really versatile, especially since I'm not fixed on its end use, it allows me to test all possible configurations, I think I'll keep it long.
I have not tried many MODELS saw that I knew what I wanted and j'tais satisfied in all BOSS pedals I have all the same tests before buy it.
The price (110 at my dealer) is correct, we will see whether life is good (because it's the pedals that will serve me as finally) but the finish is impeccable.

This is a select loop pedals of effects that can also be used to connect multiple instruments or instrument amplifier on several amp. A sort of Swiss army knife of sound. It can be used to power other pedals intermdiaire by a multi cable alim.
The PDAL has no direct effect on the sound but works as a router. I think this is a useful tool really trs.

Operation is simple: 2 + dparts effect returns that can be used also as between suplmentaires for a 2nd instrument or as dpart suplmentaire for a 2nd amp. A slecteur can vary the types of routing the sound: Channel A or B, Channel A + B, Etc. ..
The leaflet provides a choice of types of configuration.

Grace the pedals, I finally found my sound I was looking for a way to shuffled the sound of my effects loop with a direct guitar (the one Manir dpart auxiliary console) and send it in a single channel amp (my amp has one channel). I find my Holy Grail with the LS2. Thank you Boss.

It became the foundation of my sound of scratching. Moreover, this is downright transparent pedals. The possibility to feed my effects loop is a more carrment practical lugging a single adapter.
How could I do without?
It is in the $ 100 new. An essential investment in me.

AB luxury box ...
Very good on paper, very complete, the combinations are numerous and well detailed instructions.

Very easy to use and comprehensive manual

There is something else ... morning breath!
The knobs in the middle level, so neutral, the pedal creates a terrible blow.
Curious by Boss, no curious tester did reported.
I fed with a "Big John" Carl Martin, so given the quality of power supply, is not it.
I use two instruments with one another on A to B, so use very basic with Planet Waves LS2 and without any breath with ... not glop!
Very disappointed.

Not usable professionally speaking.

Ben is a classic pédalle BOSS, that's what!
I cross that everything has been said above me, it suits me.

The manual will explain everything you need to know about the craft and is very well done and easy to understand.
the serrated knob and two color LEDs that makes him totally.

The sound of the guitar is respected. I served as a footswitch to change channels on my amp EVAN 60. Output A is connected to the crunch channel and the channel B output saturated.
there are many possible connection with the pédalle is a bit of a Swiss army knife

I've had a year and it serves me well. I use only for seulles function but it suits me because the sound of my guitar is respected!
And costs 100 euros in stores, I find that the price is a bit expensive but hey, you can make lots of connections so ...

It is a standard BOSS pedal designed for a multitude of guitar-effects-switching amps with connection jacks.
Designed tough (it's boss),

A 9v battery or power supply boss

A switch 6 positions (following inputs and outputs used).

Two levels (control volumes corresponding to two main entrances instruments)

2 send and return each with light control (inputs and outputs for guitars, amps and effects)

1 input and ouput for other opportunities, see the 3rd instrument or amp or effects.

THUS THE FOOT TO CHOOSE YOUR PROGRAM!

And in addition, an entry Supplem. to connect a power supply boss.

Easy to use because the French manual is very explanatory diagrams by config.possibles.
The other is to find config'm themselves.

But the main is! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

This pedal is very well thought out and I was looking for without knowing it existed. Even my dealer do not know! It was necessary that I come across this site.

Thank you BOSS for more convenient than MORLEY LEHLE and for the price and possibilities.

I use it on stage to connect two basses (and NB4FL JAZZ BASS US + 3 pedal boss: TU2, and GEB7 LMB3) + a Yamaha electric guitar void.

SUPER! I have to press the pedal and I immediately the sound of the instrument chosen.

There may be a little breath on stage but it is negligible.

In addition it has two separate volumes for the two main entrances to the 3rd set it must be the instrument that works in bi-pass position.

The + is that you can connect 1, 2 or 3 different amps each with different effects and using the connection jacks and switch configuration and choose Switch.


I did for istant used only once on stage and I am delighted.
I have not tried other model since it occurs only in boss. Other manufacturers are only pedal switches without volume.
The value for money is pretty well justified if you look at the competitors!
Bought at 89 euros in Grenoble MICHEL MUSIC
Now over time I see the strength and performance quality, but I do not take the risk because it is not an effects pedal so ..............
In any case I advise those who use at least two instruments on stage, it does have only 1 entry on the console mix.
Go, a reproach to the difficult if it could be more the function DI (direct box)! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />
But that's another story !!!!! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" />
PS: phil's opinion is very disappointing, there is certainly another issue in its config!

Slecteur lines
Not ditables / PC-based
connection: input / output, 2-line send / return

For the config gnrale, it takes some time to fully know how to use the machine. Especially since I reu no manual, but found all the guides must be on the net.

For those who like me have a multitude of prfrent pdales their feet, with its roots well numrique a multi-effect, the LS2 is essential because it increases the combinations.
Thanks can it use two lines looping effects adds the direct out of pdale, making the final three lines of effects, which is not nothing!
For example, I live out my guitar volume + pdale live out for a clear, pressing the pdale (line A) and I get on my live dj wah Allum e position in the DSIR and the delay. Second line (line B), a disto dj lights too. You Save This supports the many untimely pdales empty and a gain of fluid especially when playing live!
The LS2 can also play two amps at the same time: the amp princpal, then pressing the machine, we add an amp deuxime: INTERESTED trs for combinations of sounds ... And if we add lines to each amp effects, then the combinations are endless, so to express it ts fun!
I really like everything in this pdale ...

I use it for over a year, and I can not do without.
This is my first of this kind.
I Describes the features above I love the most, so ...
Report qualitprix excellent saw the possibilities of the device.
I would do this choice with the exprience, and I wonder if adding a deuxime LS2 in my pedalboard ... OK, I go out!

The Boss Roland company has been producing great sounding effects pedals for decades now. They have build various pedals for almost every single purpose one would use in either their bass rig, keyboard, or their guitar rig. They have successfully manufactured some of the world's first edition effects units and multi units and have set the stage for many other manufacturers to follow in their walking path. They build a system that gets quality pedals at affordable prices to the budgeted consumers.

This is a great little pedal for those needing to run an effects pedal in a signal but want to option to take it out of the signal as well. The reason someone would do this is to have another effect in their chain or they would like to take an effects for whatever reason out of the signal chain at times. This pedal works great for what is does. It is simple and easy to use and have a great amount of possible operations.

This is a great pedal for someone who uses an older effects pedal from the 70's or 80's that isn't true bypass and wants to remove it from the signal chain when not operating it. For example if you have and old MXR Flanger pedal from the 70's that has a lot of noise since and deteriorates your tone when running through your signal chain but still want to use it with your modern true bypass pedals...well this would be the pedal to use it with. You would hook it up in the loop A or loop B, then click the button on or off when you wanted to take it out of the signal. This would allow you to remove noisy old effects pedals that sound great but damage your buffered tone, you would hook this think up like a send and return on your amp and click the pedal on and off when you desired. Works great and is efficient and what it does.

At new these pedals come in right at around $79, which is a great value for a pedal like this. If you need to remove noisy pedals and bring them in when activating then this is a great pedal to do it with. Other manufacturers make ones as well that are smaller such as the Keeley pedal which is about a third of the size. This one has more versatility though.

Many can see another view

configuration well thought out, simple to install but
the board using all the inputs and outputs, it
are small galley to manage ..

That's my problem so far, all the configs
or I tried, I always end up out of the board ..
Yet it has not only negative aspects about the
her and she makes it almost more beautiful according to
ears or configs. But for me it's at
dynamics, there is something which is systematically
out of my board. But I'll still try to use it
and if I can I will publish.
Basically, we should be able to try it on before config
buy it ..

I think I'll get rid of it but I still
want to do some tests, if I manage to integrate
I will publish my opinion. My rating is bad, but I
understand that it can enchant other board ..
