Theres probably more, but I haven't had my coffee yet...

or you could install 2 jacks (one from the neck, one from the bridge) and run them through 2 EQ pedals and adjust the signal to suit, and then run them to the seperate amps.

I think the Rolls SX21 is what you're looking for. Not exactly a pedal per se but it could easily go on your pedalboard

. Pretty good value as well. All the reviews I've read are pretty good. If I could find one here in the UK, I'd buy one...but I can't

Can you get them in the States? Could you PM me if you find anywhere that sells them.

One of the output functions of the Digitech BP-8 is a variable crossover, plus lots of other very usable sounds.

There's a few chorus pedals that have a built in crossover. I think there's a Boss one and definitely a Peavey.

that rolls sx21 looks good.

kuad · #9 09-07-2009, 08:28 PM

anyone use it?

kuad · #10 09-08-2009, 05:10 AM

which boss?

That Rolls looks good, but it (and probably many others) only has a 10K input impedance, so it won't sound great with a passive bass plugged straight into it. Actives should be good, or if you have some kind of buffered preamp before it would work too.

There are a few 2 band compressors on the market that can be used as crossovers.
This one seems pretty and it's a pedal:

cant seem to find the peavey bac-2

The digitech HT-2 tuner has two outputs that you can use to split the signal...

not sure if this is what you mean though. Download the manual and see if it will work for your needs.

does anything like that exist in a low/mid/high 3 channel setup?

i'd love to keep the subs clean, and run mids/highs through two differnt pedalboards, similar to the madness bootsy used to plug into.

I think you're looking at a rack mount for a 3-way crossover. Never seen a pedal 3-way.

Heya. I'm looking to do something somewhat similar, OP.

I was hoping to find a way to split my lows and highs in order to apply different effects to each end of the spectrum then mix them back together to be amplified. I figured I could just use something to split the signal (such as my Tech21 BDDI) then have an EQ on each of the two lines. One EQ would be a high-pass filter that lets my highs go get some chorus/delay/whatever, and the other EQ would be a low-pass filter that lets my lows get some booty boost/fuzz. After the separate effects are applied, the signals could be blended back together and run through my sonic maximizer on their way to my amp. This method just doesn't sound like the most efficient way, though, and I bet there's something out there that already does it much easier. Is there any single device that can split up the signal at a certain frequency, or is there a better way out there to do what I'm after?

Thanks much!

A few months ago, I saw King's X and after the show, I asked Dug about how he splits his signal. He told me that he just goes though the Boss tuner. I'm assuming he has the low end in the bypass and the high end into the effected part. Anyways, I hope this helps.

This is what you're looking for:

It's still in the prototype/tour box phase--so I don't consider myself a builder/dealer yet--but pm me if you're interested in demo-ing one for free (you just have to pay postage to the next person on the tour).
