lol or one that is stuck on the settings for WTSHNN/no knobs, and the graphic is just an image of the Edge’s face.

CryabetesParticipantbuy a dual-loop pedal like the Boss LS-2 [on A-B] mode. Hook it up so the compressor’s in is connected to the A send and the out to the A return, the Bass Big Muff in connected to the B send and the out to the B-return.

CryabetesParticipantThe Traveling Suitcase
CryabetesParticipantTry the Bass Big Muff [the green XO one]. it’s based closer to the russian big muffs but the mode that turns the ‘volume’ knob into a blend knob allows for a lot more sonic variation.
CryabetesParticipantlooks like about 4″x5″, and about an inch-and-a-quarter tall [not counting knobs/fs]. dimensions from small bear electronics.
CryabetesParticipantwe’re really just enthusiasts here, not employees [and the emplyees don’t check it save once in a blue moon].
best bet is to give them a call. (718) 937-8300CryabetesParticipantthat sounds like a recipe for disaster- the 2ube is not meant for power amp output.
[not an EHX employee]CryabetesParticipantno
the guitar to the switchblade is right
and out A of the s.b. to the amp channel 1 is right
but then channel 2 of the amp to a tuner
nothing should be plugged into out B of the s.b.
honestly you could probably just test it without the s.b. at all.CryabetesParticipantwhere’s your blend control knob at?
blend in too much dry signal, might be hard to tell differences in the tweaking.CryabetesParticipantnot quite sure about the secondary functions blowing you through a wall [is the gain all the way up on the fuzz knob?]
but the send and return are so you can send signal through devices like delays or reverb or distortion while still using the amplitude plugged into the input to determine filter triggering [so that they don’t get in the way of the filter but still get filtered, if that makes any sense].
so here’s what to try
plug the guitar into the input of the TM
from the send jack, run a cable to another pedal’s input [preferrablty one that’ll do something to the sound, not a tuner or something]
plug the other pedal’s output into the return jack
plug the output of the pedal into your amp.best of luck,
CrybeetusCryabetesParticipantQuote:Quote:right, i’m saying that since they’re both ‘on’ all the time, that there might be signal from one going out the other. It’d work like that since a wire is not a one-way street. are you following my train of thought here?I think so.
So that there’s a little bit of signal going through the cable attached to Channel 2 on the amp?
But wouldn’t that mean it’s leaking from the B-Output on the switch?It would if it was, say, a Boss LS-2 or other ‘powered’ switching mechanism.
But the switchblade is passive- it’s all hardware. it literally is the same as pulling the cable out of your amp channel A and popping it into the DM4 when you hit the switch [albeit much faster than a human could pull off].Quote:Otherwise I’m not sure how there could be signal going somewhere through the amp
coming from the channel the switch-pedal isn’t feeding.
Because it has to go through the distortion-pedal which comes AFTER the switch,
which should be “dead” if the switch is on A.you ever hear the story of how David Gilmour got the seagull sounds on ‘Echoes’? had his wah plugged in backwards?
that’s kind of similar to what I’m thinking is happening here.tl;dr version of what I’m thinking is happening:
The signal is going in on channel 1 and going until it hits something polar [that is, passes signal in one direction only- a diode, certain types of capacitors, some types of semiconductors] or until it hits a resistor that has a higher resistance than its signal amplitude [volume].
now, normally, that wouldn’t really matter but I’m thinking channel 2 meets up with it before anything that would prevent the signal from backtracing. So not only is channel two an input, it’s an output, like on a DI box. That second channel input-output is going out into the DM4. Most pedals, again, wouldn’t matter because there’s something polar stopping backtraces into it- however distortion pedals use two diodes [a clipping stage] that are connected to the ground portion of the pedal. The diodes are attached to a resistor but not a big enough one that it’s preventing signal from coming back in [yielding distortion]
which is then being sent back into the amp from the same direction it came.
all in a matter of milliseconds.which I why I hypothesised that plugging a tuner input into the second channel’s input would result in the tuner picking up the signal.
What’s the amp, out of curiosity? -
