Hey all,
So I'm playing a song. For part 1 of the song, I have an effects chain of two analog pedals (guitar goes into compressor pedal which feeds into distortion pedal which feeds into amplifier). Then for part 2 of the song I use my HX Stomp (Guitar into HX Stomp into amplifier). So obviously one thing I could do is feed the distortion pedal into the HX Stomp and then go into the amplifier, and then I could turn off the HX Stomp and turn on the two analog pedals for part 1 of the song, and then turn off the two analog pedals and turn on the HX Stomp for part 2 of the song... but then I know at least the analog pedals don't have true bypass (not sure if the HX Stomp does or not) and I don't want this screwing with my tone. So what I want to do is somehow have my guitar signal split in two direction after it comes out of the guitar: one direction goes to the two analog pedals and then into one of the amplifier channels, and the other direction goes into the hx stomp and then into another channel of the amplifier... Is this possible?
I suppose with this setup I'll have to have the volume for the channel the HX stomp goes into on the amp down to 0 for part 1, and then I'd have to lower the channel with the analog pedals to 0 for part 2 and raise the HX stomp channel for part 2.... But I guess that extra work might be worth it to compensate for any tone loss I'd get with having one signal path (as above).
So any suggestions?
Thanks.
