What pedal can let me "blend" my clean signal, with an effect box?

[Erlend_G]

Well, sorry if the title is hard to read,

what I mean is-

Is there a pedal, that I plug into (firstly), that has a "blendable loop" where I can put a fuzz (or any pedal)-

then from there, to my amp? And adjust the output signal from "100% clean to 100% effected".

I'd like to experiment with this, to blend in some clean tone with my fuzz box. Hope there are some (resonably) affordable solutions!

Gig Rig do the Wetter Box, which I think would do what you want.

Though it's probably not that cheap! lol

I had a pedal that did this "onboard", the EHX "Bass Muff"

It sounded cool even for electric guitar. I lost it when the apartment owner (where I moved from) decided to throw out all my stuff. Has contacted my lawyer, but the apartment owner (the government) refuses to answer.

anyway.

I wish my new "Octavix" had the same "clean blend" control, cause it can be a bit "too much" for everything, but very simple (one note, or powerchord) riffs.

thanks.

All that I'd "really" need though,

is a passive pot, to blend the signal, and then "connect it together" again before going to amp. ? :/

well. I did guess that a "real" blend pedal, would cost my shirt. I might be as happy just fuzzin' along. .

Heh this is me flexing my privilege again but this is why I run two amps almost all the time. One set to "almost dirty" and the other to be clean and handle my pedals.

you ... lucky man .

I'd love to have two MkII's... But I cannot afford.

(well I can, but then to break my budget for 4-5 months...)

I'd rather have a blend knob!

and maybe another portable, battery powered amp. My neighbor, meth-amp whore, stole my battery powered Roland Cube.

I asked her: "Do you KNOW what it's WORTH?"

and she replied: "ah, just a tiny bag...."

I think the Boss LS-2 can do this with the fuzz in one loop and a guitar patch cable connecting the other loop.

ok.... with a pot to blend the "blending" or not?

I just spent my last cash. on an extension 1x12" cab for my Blackstar Ht-20mkII combo....

So no money left for anything, but food :/ and toilet rolls.

Thanks guys.

LS-2 is perfect for just that job. Around 70€ here used and 120 € new from thomann.

I now actually use Big Muff in the loop of Vapor Trail. Works as blend with delay at 0 and makes great addition when using delay too. (at least for the stuff I do).

Xotic X-Blender does this, and is a great pedal, though not on the cheap side. I love mine.

An alternative is to use a loop-based noise gate, with the gate wide open, though that only provides a simple on-off of the looped pedals, not a blend.

Saturnworks Blender Looper will do what you want. $79 new; there's one on eBay for $69.

You can’t blend signals passively like that. Also sometimes the output of a pedal is out of phase with the input.

There’s some pedals out there for doing this.

Personally I always found that clean guitar mixed with distortion sounds like sh!t unless it’s with bass, since bass players generally use a fairly clean sound.

I've found that Fuzz are always too fuzzy for me, leaving only usable options a hair above 0. With blending I get much wider usable range from them.

I think that a simple 500k pot, will do the trick (aswell with some "Nicening soldering) ...

hehe .

But what are you playing into? Certainly not a clean amp. That sounds awful.

Fuzz isn’t always something you can use for your overall sound. It doesn’t always work well with chords. That depends on the fuzz; a Big Muff Pi is better on chords than more gated sounding fuzzes.

I use fuzz for some solos, and even then it depends on what I’m playing. That’s into a dirty amp.

Yep, into dirty amp for "melting" type of OD/fuzz. Usually use them for short melodic lines or a singular wall-of-sound effect.

Although Voodoo Octave does work quite well for overall sound, when dialed in right.

Maybe a little pricey, but I recently bought one, and it does exactly what you're asking. x3. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TriParMix--electro-harmonix-tri-parallel-mixer
