The Ibanez LS10 is a switching device which allows you to group your effects into two discrete loops and either switch between them or bypass them completely. Each loop has it's own level control with +/- 6dB of gain control. What's more, you can use the LS10 as an input master switch or as an output master switch by simply varying your patch connections.

Use

The LS10 can be used in many ways, as it provides a choice of 2 signal routes to a final destination. This is most useful when 2 different sets of effects are used for different sounds. For example a "clean chain" using a compresssor and chorus may be switched with "dirty chain" utilizing a distortion and equalizer. Switching between the 2 sounds occurs with one pedal depression of the LS10 (instead of pressing each pedal once). The level of each loop is adjustable. Other applications include switching between 3 guitars or 3 amplifiers by considering sends as outputs and returns as inputs.
