Clue me in on what's going on. I'm not familiar with your scenario. I'm currently using (2) LS-2's in my home setup. Both being used in different ways (one as an A/B & one as a looper). I'd like to help if I can.

Hi kelmaur
Perhaps if you made a little sketch of what you're trying to achieve,
it might clear things up for all of us.
Sometimes it's difficult to describe in words, what your trying to do.
The old adage, of a picture is worth a thousand words, probably applies in this case.
The/some members here have some incredible pedal board setups, ones that even I'm jealous of,
I don't doubt that they will be willing to help you out.
Plus I see that ZEN (Zentropa) is now back.
The guy has calibrated ears, that rival my Tektronics oscilloscope, & HP distortion Analyzers.
Regards Dr. Bob  |

OK...i appreciate it..hope you can
i have been up all damn night trying to get this to work, took my pedal board apart fifteen times (not exaggerating)
my setup was like this ( when i was playing yesterday)
Nady wireless into
PSM-5 (guitar input)>
PSM-5 (SEND)>
NS-2>
TU-2>
MT-2>
HM-2>
DS-1>
GE-7>
CH-1>
DD-7>
GE-7>
DD-7>
PSM-5 (AMP output)>
DS-1>
ROcktek Flanger>
Recording interface
im trying to figure out how i can still use my wireless plugged into the PSM-5 the same way i have it and still utilize the LS-2 somewhere for a second loop
ive tried everything i have looked at the paperwork (LS-2)all night and have come up with weird noises (buzzing- bad signal,no signal)
i know the LS-2 works i bought it second hand , but it is brand new the guy just bought it an decided to get rid of it
i am using two One Spots ( those damn extra connectors osmetimes throw me off too..which ones do you use to adapt to the adapter itself
i bought a brand new CS-3 and an SD-2 today and had them hooked up right after i got home with them and got a way different sound than what i had before....fuzzy adn not clear like i had before
i was playing the pother night with my basic chain above with my delay and had a sound and as soon a si hoooked up the Cs-3 and SD-1 in the chain everything was muddier
maybe i didnt tweak it right
how do you set a CS-3 to not feedback and not be muddy
anyway thats about it
ask anything..i may have for gotten something
nay help woul dbe grewatly appreciated
i need to get back to my music |

OK..so this is how it was before i got the LS-2, CS-3 and the SD-1
i was told buy another member here to put the CS-3 after the GE-7 after the dist's and the SD-1 right before the dist's
i did that then tried to hook the LS-2 up somewhere so i could have 2 loops..1 the basic loop with the three dist's chorus and delay
another loop form the amp output of the PSM-5 like in the pic with the AC-2 and flanger..i have another DS-1 i want to put on this loop with the flanger
can i still use the PSM-5 with my wireless plugged in to it like i have had it and use the LS-2 also
i dont know where else to plug my Nady in at

Personally i would put the CS-3 at front end before the PSM-5... pull the sustain level down below halfway and boost the output level to compensate,i normally set the tone over halfway to give a little 'bite' to the sound,sort of like early knopfler/orange squeezer tone.... i know of no reason why the LS-2 can't be dropped in the middle of your chain as a second looper pedal..thats the way i have mine after the overdrive unit looping my mod/delay pedals..... are you sure that with the extra pedals added that one of your extra patch cables might be a bogey...? could be the cause of tone loss/muddy sound....or possibly something to do with the one spot power supply.....
i would go....
Nady wireless... to input of ....
CS-3 output to input of ....
PSM-5 + whatever pedals you want in that pedals loop..
AMP OUT on PSM-5 to INPUT of LS-2 and second loop of pedals you want in loop A (you could also have a 3rd loop in loop B of the LS-2 if you wanted)
LS-2 OUTPUT to whatever source you want amp/recording device,another pedal etc.....
hope this helps.............. |

im going to try anything and everything you suggest..but just out of curiosity......would this work
Wireless>
TU-2>
LS-2 A>
#1 group of pedals>
LS-2 A return>
LS-2 B send>
#2 group of pedals>
LS-2 B return
and as for what you mentioned
can i go into my TU-2 before what you suggested
and would the TU-2 still be where i can have it muted for tuning |

best people to talk you through power supplies around here is either Dr Bob or Laurie....check out the FAQ's there is a big topic on this and mixing the older ACA type pedals with PSA ones..... |

| the ls-2 is an updated version of the psm-5 with alot more options then the psm-5 . i think the modern version is alot better then the vintage version. for once i would say go modern |

if i use the LS-2 first and in place of the PSM-5, where would i plug my guitar into the LS-2 in order for it to receive the signal from both loops when i switch back and forth
put guitar in the input (then out to what?), then whatever pedals in loops in A and B
wouldnt my TU-2 have to be before the LS-2?
