What's the best Muff sound for bass? Blending it with the clean bass tone and Eq? 

i really liked the 7th option. most massive sound imo. that means that making a muff with eq control for a blend might be an interesting idea. what do you think?

I liked that you displayed the chain visually!

OK excellent vid! Based on what I'm seeing here this is what I actually need: 1. Clean sound direct without the eq. 2. Distorted path begins at a high-pass filter, then into the Muff, then into a low-pass filter. 3. Mix them together. I know this sounds insane but hear me out: I don't want anything really low (like 150 Hz and below) going into a distortion pedal. It just ruins and muddies everything. But I also don't want high stuff like 4 KHz and above really coming out of the distortion, which gives it that "buzzy" character that sounds really unpleasant coming out of modern speaker cabs. So I believe that you're doing everything right for my ideal taste in #9 except that the low cut and the high cut should come at opposite ends of the distortion pedal. This way you get a good clean low end from the clean path but that perfect midrange grind from the dirty path.

Awesome video! Thank you for showing how many different ways this can be used. I personally liked 7 solo’d the most but 6 sounded the most gnarly in a mix.

Buying a line selector and using it for bass was an absolute revelation for me. I don't use it much these days as I've got a Wren & cuff with a blend control that does exactly this, but short of that, this is a great strategy

Like 7 and 9. I think those two can sit really well in a three-piece rock mix.

These are the things that keep me up at night. Thanks for doing this. Fantastic.

I prefer the 4, 8,7 tones in order. Great test! Thanks!

Very useful to get a basic sense with splitters. Thanks for this!

Amazing comparison video! Thank you

best showcasing of this pedal on youtube by far, but it would have been a hell of a lot better had you played a riff that included some usage of the e and maybe even the b string to really demonstrate how the pedal can blend that lowend as well. Afterall, most bassists who get a splitter do it more for the lowend instead of just the mids.

You have a great clean tone.

Criminally low view count for such great content, keep it up!!

Running the eq in front seems like the best option. It made the clean and dirty signal sound more like one sound. Most times when you do parallel fuzz the fuzz sounds like it's lying on top of your clean sound.

Grande!!! Aqui Antonio de Pedal Station, ya le estoy compartiendo el video a mis amigos bajistas jaja

I liked the clean-muff blend but with the eq before the muff...or even before the Ls2 (adding mids to both signals. Thanks for your experiment!

If you're feelin dirty u can throw in a tube screamer variant before the muff and then boost with a clean booster after it can work in the right circumstances pretty well

This is quite informative. Even though I own a couple bass overdrive and distortion pedals, I would consider trying this with a metal distortion pedal. Also the demo sounds awesome. 😎 🎸

Damn it. I was already set on getting an LS2 but now I've got GAS for a GE.

Sadly this won't work w/fuzz-first fuzz circuits following the Boss buffers, *but* a passive splitter that preserves the pickup impedance will, like a couple of passive a/b-y pedals. One run backwards, bass into Y to fuzz on A and clean through B and merged through the second pedal after whatever else you want to hang on the clean B like an EQ or a preamp. I just got the much maligned Acoustic bpdi preamp which has DI/out/thru and includes a switchable fx loop for plenty of hijinx that can include wonderfully nasty Velcro fuzzes like the Wooly Mammoth without sending it into a buffer tailspin. (The Acoustic's white noise/whine problem is solved with a different ground isolated power supply, the switching supply included is garbage, FYI. Deep deep sale price at M'sFriend right now)

Great informative video! and killer tones too! Question: is it true that the LS2 internally hardwires any empty loops as a dry-through (meaning i can leave one loop open without any patch cables connected, to let the dry signal come through??

I really love your videos, I've bought my Chernobyl Bass Fuzz thanks to you! I've a question: does the GE-7B "suck" the tone out a lot, not being true bypass (and with a different buffer circuit from the newest GEB-7)? I really dig the 7 frequencies chosen for the GE-7B a lot more than the ones chosen for the GEB-7, but I fear a little bit the possibility of a too aggressive tone sucking

Hi! I'm thinking of splitting my signal to have a better defined low end when using distortion. What I'm thinking is on one side my B7K dirt sound, and on the other side having like a geb7 as a lpf and a comp and then to sum up both to the final signal to end up with a dirt sound with a great defined and compressed low end .. do you think I can achieve this using ls2?

Hello, I play a boss ds1 which is not the best for bass and I was wondering if that eq pedal would help me bring out my low end back. It's either the eq pedal or the ls2 since I can't afford both rn hahahaha.
