You can make the LS-2 do trails with a Y cable or mini passive mixer. In fact you can use the same technique to make any A/B or effect loop pedal into a trailsinator. Just send your guitar to the IN of the A/B, then the A out (or just Send of the loop) to the delay/reverb pedal, then connect the OUT of the effect pedal to one arm of the Y cable and the B of the A/B (or the OUT of the loop pedal) to the other arm of the Y, and finally the leg of the Y goes to your amp or next pedal. Nothing plugs into the Return jack. When you switch the loop on or select A out, your signal goes to the effect, and when you switch to the B or bypass setting, the effect pedal is still sending its decay to one arm of the Y cable and the clean guitar signal is coming out of the B (or OUT) jack to the other arm of the Y. A mini passive resistance mixer should provide similar and possibly better results, depending on impedance etc.
Kinda, yes, but afaik it's usually better to have that mixer be buffered. Either way I would be happier with a toggle switch.ChudFusk wrote: Wed Aug 21, 2024 6:19 pmYou can make the LS-2 do trails with a Y cable or mini passive mixer.

Hey, another Hot Drive n’ Boost owner! Pretty solid sounding pedal but come on with the 120v plug and super tall profile.Nico Adie wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 3:13 am My home/small board, running into a Blackheart Little Giant with 2 1x12s (one with a Celestion Sidewinder, one with a mystery speaker with an aluminium dustcap - might be a McKenzie, sounds good anyway) and a Tech 21 Power Engine 60 with a Celestion Sidewinder in it:
Might swap the CE5 for something else, maybe a compressor, we’ll see. Might also move the Mig50 preamp to on top of the Power Engine and have some sort of multi modulation pedal there.
I kinda like the t h I c c style Carl Martin jawns with the rat tail. You allegedly get more headroom with the high voltage and it’s more robust than a 9 V cable and if you use it in the back row of pedals as shown, the height makes it accessible. I had the original “The Fuzz“ pedal, which is really more of a distortion, and I kind of wish I still had it.twelvepoint wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 11:39 amHey, another Hot Drive n’ Boost owner!

Re: Let Us See Your PedalboardThe tallness of it is a boon for me for where it sits on the board so I’m not complaining. Really like the sound of it though, especially stacked with the Distortion III, which is really an overdrive.twelvepoint wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 11:39 amHey, another Hot Drive n’ Boost owner!

Fair points. Also when those designs came out 12 and 18v taps on power supplies weren’t the norm.ChudFusk wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 1:33 pmI kinda like the t h I c c style Carl Martin jawns with the rat tail.
