Boss NS2 in uncompensated loop

Postby MikeD » 15 Apr 2020, 16:14

G'day folks, Hoping to run a NS2 in the uncompensated loop x cable style, as I use the compensated loop in parallel for my time based effects. Wondering if the uncompensated is in front of the compensated in the signal chain to preserve delay/reverb trails etc?? Thanks in advance!!

The uncompensated is after the compensated loop.

Interesting, I never saw it this way before. Usually I see:

Guitar
Gate Pedal Input
Gate Pedal Output
Overdrive Pedal
Amp Input

Amp Send
Noise Gate Return
Noise Gate Send
Effects Pedals
Amp Return

I might have to try this some day.

well, that's odd because the gate send and return must be between input and output... at least on all gate-like pedals with 2 inputs/2 outputs...

to me the schematic is the correct way
Marshall 6101 Blue Tolex (Sept 92)
Modulus Amp Mod800 (DIY 2204 kit + loop + brightness toggle and gain toggle mods)
Friedman Runt 20
Marshall 1912 with Neo Creamback fitted
Marshall 1960AX

When i first picked up the pedal i hooked it up the other way and the results weren't very good. Then Papus clued me in and now it's great.
