Is the PSM-5 pedal any good. Is it worth putting on your pedalboard?

I also thought it was like a single loop Line selector.
Only usefull if you want to remote switch something, or take a noisy pedal out of the signal chain, or switch to a tuner.

But basically, the LS-2 can do all of that and better, because of the adjustable levels on the loops.

Consider the NS-2 as well. It has less connections than the LS-2 but the same as the PSM-5.

The only good thing about the PSM-5 is that if you turn it upside down and remove all electronics you will have a unique ash-tray..

Serious: you better get a NS-2

Yeah... but for "The Collection", it is necessary to find one with an original box with the included ACA adapter. Once you have that, you can file it away in the cupboard/display case and never, ever have to use it

A little off topic, but am i the only one who doesnt like the NS-2. I dont like the send and return because although being a good idea, i don't like having to buy a longer patch lead each time i get a distortion/dirt pedal.

has anyone tried the isp Decimator?

I think it might be pretty sweet

I should have bought a bunch when I saw them for $25.. (literally 4 or 5)... I have only one now. If I found a beat up one, I might just make an ashtray (or two) of it!
