A pedal with four outputs. Does it exist?

Alright gents, I am thinking of going the split-signal route, and I already know that a Wounded Paw four-channel mixer is in my future. However, I need to have four outputs, obviously, in order to feed four inputs. I am not looking for a switcher, mind you, but very simply a stomp-less four-output box that feeds at unity gain.

Do I search in vain?

Hmm, might this do the trick? http://www.loop-master.com/product_i...roducts_id=194

I only need one input though.

Bleh, I'm an idiot. Wounded Paw offers a 4-channel Splitter to pair with the mixer. I = Smart.

Just as a technical aside, a passive 4-way splitter won't really feed at unity gain. There will be a drop in signal level through all four outputs. It may not be enough of a drop to bother about though.

Akai Headrush has 4 outs.

This: HA400

I know, I know... but it works. Don't believe the un-hype.

What was that really small mixer/splitter setup that someone on here had?

are you handy with a soldering iron if so i can draw you up a schematic

Will buffers through all four solve the problem? Both the WP splitter and mixer units have buffered outs and ins respectively.

And MV, I really do need to get myself a project one of these days to work on before I'm comfortable building myself a box I'm planning to gig.

Yes, if you buffer the signals that get split then you'll have unity gain across the board. You could also use some transformers to do this.

Nice. Thanks gents.

FF,

Did you ever go with the Wounded Paw setup? If so, how are you liking it? I was wondering if a master level on the mixer would be desirable/necessary, to match the bypassed volume or what-have-you?

actually it has 5 outputs.

Look up "Ric5". He's a member here, and I believe he splits his signal 4 ways.

The akai headrush.

Check these utubes out. Excellent, and you sure won't find it in the terrible manual.
