thack Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Errrrr....need some advice. Dunno if this has come up before and not sure I can describe it well. I have split my pedal chain into 2 parallel lines using a passive splitter at the start of the chain and an ABY to pull them together at the end. Allowing me to run the 2 effects chains in parallel or switch between them individually. Ya follow me? So here's my problem..... When switching between a single chain to both in parallel, there is a noticeable drop in gain (duh, the signal has now been spilt in 2). This halving of the signal gain massively effects the sound of certain pedals, particularly overdrive and filters. So my question to you wizards. How do I solve this? Is there a smart pedal out there will act as a gain levelling tool? or do I just have to compress the stinky poo out of it? Thanks in advance xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Don't use a passive splitter, try a Boss LS-2. If your gain levels are decent through each chain but you have low volume when summing them together, then one (or any odd number!) of effects are inverting phase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 What @dannybuoy said. The LS2 is brilliant for what you're after. They go the moment they're advertised here though so you gotta be quick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
