Line selector
You can read what it does but make sure you read the manual! This can be so much more than a looper or an A/B. I played with it for a couple hours before I cracked the manual and really found out what it can do.
Loop pedals in and out, switch between amps, guitars, multiple inputs, blend channels, isolate channels, so much more and the possibilities are endless if you were running two of these at once.
After all that; I actually only use it as a looper and an A/B on occation. I play bass with an ungodly amount of effects, so it works perfect for switching on more than one at a time. For what I do a boutique looper would work but the only reason I keep the LS around is it's ability to blend two channels and independantly control the volume on both. For that it is priceless. and it's a Boss so I don't think I could break it.
If you are looking to buy one; get it from the website cause it's almost $50 more in store!!

If you have to do a lot of toe tapping to switch between guitars, effects, or amplifiers, the LS-2 can make your onstage life a whole lot easier. The Line Selector is a extremely useful box that serves up various a/b, loop, and mixer duties. As an A/B box the Boss reigns supreme with individual volume controls and effortless switching. As a loop selector the LS-2 offers a few various modes that can clean up your tone by eliminate noisy effects from your chain until its time to use them. These modes are also a lifesaver if you are having problems executing multiple pedal combinations between verses, choruses, or bridges in your songs. By throwing all these pedal combinations into various loops you can make these swift easy changes with the tap of a single pedal. As a Splitter, this allows you to toggle between three amplifiers. This is one of the best devices of its kind on the market, although we hope Boss expands upon this idea with their new dual pedals.

A great way to better tone
Using an A/B/Y style switching box like the Boss LS-2 Line Selector/Power Supply allows you to choose either seperate A and B signal paths or mix your A and B signals together to run two amps or effects chains in parallel, this is generally how I run both guitar and bass and the range of tones you can get by using this type of set-up is really amazing.
With the LS-2 you can power other pedals in your chain(s) as well, so it has another useful feature besides being a pretty good option for splitting your signal.

Major component to my pedalboard
I love creating background swells with my Fender Standard Strat and my Epiphone Les Paul...and it's all thanks to this pedal! I use a Boss RV-3 Reverb pedal to create a looping, reversing swell and use the LS-2 to stop the input signal into the Reverb so that I can play over the swelling background ambience. Not only that but the LS-2 also powers up my pedals! It's such a great and significant part of my board.

A must have for multi pedal or amp users
The Boss Line Selector pedal not only expands your tonal possibilities of your pedalboard configuration into multiple amps, but powers up to five other pedals through a daisy chain, as long as you stay within it's powering limits.
The manual is definately worth keeping up with and reading to get the most out of this pedal.
If you use a lot of effects, or multiple amps or always wanted to, this makes playing live much easier without having to change settings for certain songs.

Great line switch
I bought the LS-2 Line Selector to use as a AB switch. I play both electric and acoustic guitars and this gave me a quiet way to switch between guitars without turning anything down or off.

May not do what you want as an AB
Very nice stomp, but not perfect. I originally bought this to AB between 2 amps, and though I could use the volume knobs to adjust the input signal to each amp. Not true. I have tried just about every configuration, and have found the volume knobs simply don’t work in some setups. The Boss documentation even confirms the volume knobs won’t work in some configs, so I don’t think it is just my box. The best AB configuration I have found is to connect the guitar to the input, one amp to a SEND on either A or B and the other amp to the OUTPUT jack. This will let you adjust the volume on the send jack, but the output jack will NOT be adjustable. If you connect one amp to the A send and the other amp to the B send, neither volume works (very annoying). This stomp is really designed for the player who has 2 groups of effect peddles, and wants be able to switch the entire group A peddles to signal, or the entire group B peddles to signal, (or optionally both groups together). I have not tried this but I think this would get both volume knobs working since you have connections to Both A & B send jacks and the output jack.

Great floor mini mixer and switch
This pedal is amazing and works exactly like I wanted it too. When I first looked at this pedal all I wanted was a simple A-B switch for one guitar so I could disconnect it from the mixer when I put the guitar down between songs. When I found this pedal and read all it could do I thought this would be a much better option than a simple switch. I use this pedal as a "mini mixer" and on-off switch for two guitars that are played at the same time. I have it setup in the following configuration: Guitars -> LS-2 -> TU-2 -> Mixer. By putting the tuner after the LS-2 we can easily tune either guitar even between songs. In our situation we don't have anyone monitoring the sound board so being able to locally adjust the level of each guitar is fantastic. We have three guitar players in our group and I recently purchased a second LS-2. We plan to daisy chain it to the first so we can to plug in the third guitar. We certainly could have handled our setup differently, but, for our situation, this pedal solved all of our problems in one easy to use device.

The first on lasted 15 years!
If you are a musician with equipment and you need to have seperate signal paths, this is the tool! I use this to seperate my v-wah from my acoustic processor. I have used these for piano's and other instruments that I wanted keep signal path from some of my pedals. If you have loops you need this!
