buffered splitter box?

Axess Buffer
you can sorta do this with a Boss LS-2 as well
I think Gigrig make something similar to the Axess as well

Toadworks have just made something that will come out at Namm that does this I think
Ajax


Go OC-2 into DI thru out on DI into Ajax, problem sorted

 

well, LS-2 has all outputs buffered, right?

and, if you put OC-2 before the LS-2, all its outputs will be the square wave... or do you refer to that as your clean signal?
+ LS-2 doesn't let you control the level of outputs, just the level of inputs...

but it is the cheapest and if you buy 2 (or some other blender), you have more options (you can have your clean (bass guitar) signal and two or three squarewave signals)

if you have the money, have it built, it will be exactly what you want and smaller...

 

Actually the LS-2 controls the volume of the returns not the sends

 

that's what I said, though I used "inputs" for "returns" and "outputs" for "sends" but the point is, if you go input --> all thre outputs, all the output levels are the same, right? and all of them are buffered, right?

 

Erm yeah I think we are agreeing

As for using all 3 outputs I'm not sure its possible as the main output doesn't work unless there is something returning to the unit in the loops. If that makes sense.

 

damn mad scientists....

 

I think dummy plugs could do the trick... I aint 100% though...

IMO, the LS-2 is too cheap (used at least) not to have one when you have multiple pedals already. You can always use it as a blender, but it can sometimes help you achieve a certain signal routing design you have in your head, which seems to be the case here

 

I abuse mine daily

 

I once sold mine because it just gave me ideas which produced more GAS. Now that I gave myself a 50 EUR limit on pedals (per pedal of course), I have one again

btw, who would think the <50 EUR price range is not that limiting, on the used market... especially now that the British pound is so low compared to the Euro, I just cannot ignore that discount, hehe

 

Lehle makes some awesome solutions for this sort of routing/splitting.

 

Craig Anderton's Spluffer from the Electronic Projects for Musicians book.

 

Just for the record, I used the equivalent of a Y-cable (except in a box with a switch to mute one side) to send a dry signal to my filter's trigger input, and it worked great. Obviously, different basses and pedals will react differently, but it's worth a shot.

 

Oh yeah we can tell

 

I'm coming to this thread late, but is something like this what you're looking for?
