- So here we'll be running the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive & Electro-Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff in Parallel using the BOSS LS-2 Line Selector in the "A+B MIX/Bypass" mode.
You can use the A+B Mix mode to run Delay and Reverb in Parallel, two Modulation pedals like Phaser and Flanger in Parallel, or two Overdrives in Parallel. I thought it would be cool and interesting to run Distortion and Fuzz in Parallel.
This was a happy accident/convenience I stumbled upon. I knew running Distortion and Fuzz in Series would be too much saturation. So I decided, Parallel it is. I was pretty happy and satisfied with the end result.

LS-2 is hidden gem of Boss pedals. I have one since its beginning.
Agreed!
I also believe this is the reason for Helix and Quad Cortex Users. No firmware needed. Rock and Roll!
Its different. Its like having two rigs going at once....dang thats pretty cool
Damn, pretty good sound and equipment, chapeau bas!
LS-2 style pedals are a must for bass players too. You can retain the clean low end, and add gainy mids and drive sounds on top, whilst scoping separate EQ/compressors for both. Anothr amazing pedal for this is the mini mixer by EHX. Lets you stack 3.
Tones sound good man 🤙🏻
I use an ABY. Great for stacking gain, especially if You want that Recto Wall of Sound and a beautiful ambient clean or lead! The line select is an amazing tool! That is an incredible board
Thanks! I wish I had bought the line selector years ago, it's so versatile.
I'll be checking out that boss line selector. Nice!
So cool! 😎
Parallel is the best period.
Yeah, I feel it's underrated. Everyone talks about gain stacking, but you don't hear much about Parallel drives.
😮tengo que aprender mucho.
1. Kohlekeller Studios has a similar video, and it pushed me to buy some gear and try for myself. For anyone curious who can afford it, do it. The "Stylish Fuzz" from Donner is a cheap and workable Fuzz pedal if you lack one.
2. Those MXR EQ lights are blinders, ain't they?
Yeah, it's soooo bright! I'm glad I have it underneath the riser.
Great video but holy shit your pedalboard is awesome did you put that one together yourself?
Thanks! I planned out the Signal Path, but I had Brian Omilion wire it up. He's over at the Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas. Check out his Instagram page @Omilionaudio. His work is quite Masterful.
Your whole board is ridiculous! I literally have 4 pedals right now 😂
Lol Thanks! Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous. It definitely satisfies my "tone-quest".
I'd rather listen to a guitarist who knows how to use 4 guitar pedals really well than a guitarist with 20 pedals who sounds like shit. When it comes to guitar pedals, quantity does not necessarily mean quality.
@@Joe-mz6dc True, nice pedals can’t compensate for poor playing. You gotta have a good tone w/o any effects, then you can build on that. One thing I do sometimes is play electric unplugged…you’ve got nothing to help you, you gotta make sure your playing is solid!
😂😂😂😂 Hendrix only use 3 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
your pedal board reminds me of metroplex, I r jelly.
I’d just push that TS8 into the Big Muff in series, instead. I’d love to hear a comparison between the sound on this video compared to that
That's a great idea. I'll make a video about boosting the Big Muff.
What a great pedalboard. What is it?
Thank you! It's the Vertex Effects Tour Compact Pedalboard with the standard riser. I also have in there both the Power Module and Buffer Interface Module by Vertex Effects.
@@dude_crush_I have the same board with the modules too! 👍
