Boss LS2 question

[franzbassist]

Is it possible to run an LS2 with two basses, one bass clean and one with its own effects loop?

[doctorbass]

As far as I remember, yes it is

[pete.young]

Put the 'dirty' bass into the main input, put the effects in loop A and the clean bass into the return of loop B, and set it to A -> B -> Bypass, then you'll be able to cycle between the first bass clean, first bass plus effects, second bass clean.

I think - haven't tested this but that's how I'd expect things to work based on the manual.

Thanks chaps, and if I wanted to have a tuner available to both, presumably just put that in front of the LS2?

D'oh, of course!

If I was you I'd run the bass you want effected into the the effects in question, then into Loop A Return on the LS2, and the clean bass into Loop B Return, then set the LS2 to A<->B mode so it just switches between either the dirty bass and the clean bass, and you have a volume control for each. Or do you want to be able to bypass the dirty bass effects and have both basses clean?
