I've built it. It works and sounds fantastic! Fun build, too! |

does anyone know if id need to change anything in those plans? |

1 in and 2 out or 2 in and 1 out | I'm actually interested in doing this myself. I have never actually done any serious circuit making except for labs that I've taken in college (in my 4th year for EE major). However, I question this somewhat. Won't everything with polarities such as the op-amps and caps interfere. A better explanation by someone would really help. |

If you are using it to combine two input signals onto one output path there may be problems unless you are only using one input at a time. If you make a buffered ABY, then you can only go one way.

Occasionally I BS even though I don't mean to. But on this I'm pretty sure I'm solid. |
