Baloney Balderdash Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) A tip on how to improve the mix when you blend high gain distortion or fuzz with clean signal via for example a Boss LS-2 is to place an overdrive pedal that retains low end well, and preferably dynamically sensitive, in the clean loop. This helps the "clean" tone and distorted tone to blend better, and prevents it from sounding like there's a clean signal sitting on top of the distorted tone. Personally I use a Joyo Orange Juice dialed in with a sort of medium gain overdrive, with the Tone dialed down to about 10 o'clock position, and the Voice at about 1 o'clock, in the clean loop of my Boss LS-2, with a Mosky Balck Rat (which already retains low end and blends with the clean tone exceptionally well), switched to the Turbo RAT mode, dialed in with a high drive setting, and the tone filter knob exactly at noon, blended at an about 40/60 "clean"/drive ratio, and this works perfectly for a beefy and heavy high gain distortion with retained low end and individual notes definition, without sounding like there's a clean signal sitting on top of the distorted tone.
