Re: Compressors 'n' shit -

2002-05-16 by tommy_trance

For distortion, what I use are BOSS's old sckulz guitar stomp pedals.
I run 1 set of various BOSS fx pedals out my Left Sub and the 2nd set
out my Right Sub since the fx are mono.  Gives the yellow digital 
box some raw analog sounds. It sounds great but I was wondering,
does anyone know if this kind of routing is bad for Sub outs?  Seems
to work okay for me so far.
