Yes, essentially it would be the same thing, but I know it’s not always convenient to roll back on your guitar volume or on a volume pedal immediately after switching an effect on.
julianModeratorWhat I’d do would be to add an Audio Taper potentiometer to trim the input signal. Take the wire from the input jack, put it to the right lug of the potentiometer (If you are looking down at the potentiometer from the top and the lugs are facing you.) Then add a wire from the middle lug to where the input wire originally went. Then add a wire from the remaining lug to ground.
BTW, there is an adjustable gain on it, and if the overload light blinks a little bit I don’t think it’s a problem.
julianModeratorsolid state amps usually have decent power amps, but the preamps can be god-awful sometimes. I have a Fender Princeton Chorus (not my main amp, I just have it) and the stereo power amp, chorus, and reverb are nice but the preamp blows. I’ve been thinking it would be nice to get one of those Tech 21 or Catalinbread pedals and use that as the pre-amp going straight into the FX return.
julianModeratorWell technically you’re just hard panning between two sides of a stereo loop. The loop length would be the same and both will be constantly running.
You can try this out manually plugging and replugging connections.
With external routing there’s a bunch of neat stuff you can do.
julianModeratorWell you could do it a couple different ways:
two AB pedals like the Switchblade. Plug the pedal you want to plug into the Hazarai into the input of your AB pedal. Then plug the A/B out into the Left and Right In.
Now take the second AB pedal and plug the L and R outs into the A/B outs, and then plug the 2nd AB’s input into your amp.
Switching the First A/B pedal switches which loop you record to, switching the second one switches which loop is playing.
Some companies have made Loop Selectors. The function of these pedals is so that you could plug one pedal into each loop and switch directly from one pedal to another with one switch. Very useful for switching from a clean to a dirty sound if your clean sound has any effects you don’t want on your dirty sound.
If you want to, you could probably make a loop selector yourself:
Read these articles:
None of them have a loop selector, but I am sure you could learn enough about stompswitches from them to figure it out!

Also, if you were to rig up an A/B Looper pedal (with two sends and two returns and a switch switches which pair) you could record separate loops and switch between them.
julianModeratorQuote:so every time i get on here, i go through the main page to make sure im not missin anything. then i click the ehx community tab and move down 2 spaces to click forums. from there i continue on to do whatever so. well i cant do that now because its apparently more necessary for people to know what other brand pedals you can use with some ehx adaptor than it is for me to not have to move down another space. im furious! im outraged by this monstrosity! well thats allUse your hot link bar in Chrome or Firefox or whatever you use. Drag the forums up there, then edit it and take out the name so then it’s only the icon. I’ve got a whole row of icons for all my important links.
julianModeratorSome guitarists use the bass version. Difference I believe is that the filters are tuned to be ideal for lower frequencies, and the range of the effect is lower, so a con would be you wouldn’t get the same effect playing super high up.
If I were you I’d try to find them and try them out.
julianModerator+1 for the HOG. I love mine. It’s actually the most I’ve ever spent on a piece of gear.
julianModeratorI think what you really want is a comb filter pedal. That would be able to get some nice sitar sounds.
The reason that flangers (and super short delays and bathtub reverb) can sound sitarish is that they often have resonant frequencies, much like the unplayed sympathetic strings on a sitar that give it it’s characteristic sound.
A comb filter is in effect many delays in parallel tuned to different resonant frequencies, which would get you much closer to the sitar sound.
Of course the other thing you need is a buzz bridge and just intonation (fretless guitar would work very well for that)
Here’s a nice comb filter demo someone did on youtube:
julianModeratorI’d say a gain stage probably isn’t doing its job. Bad transistor maybe.
julianModeratorWell then I’d think maybe something’s wrong with your muff. At home I have loads of volume on tap with my muffs.
julianModeratorIs the volume drop in a band setting?
julianModeratorYou could do a tone-bypass mod and that would make it a lot louder, but it would sound different.
julianModeratorI can get trails from my SMMH, but it’s rather complicated. . .
My guitar goes into my HOG first. I use both the HOG’s wet and dry outs. Dry out goes to distortion and such, Wet out goes to stuff like delay. I have a two channel Fender amp, so everything gets recombined there.
If I want trails I set the SMMH to 100% wet and put my HOG into volume mode (or use my OD that’s in the chain with the level all the way down.) This way I can mute the signal going into the SMMH while leaving the SMMH on.
You could wire up a blender pedal with a loop and a mute switch to do the same thing.
