crossover pedal for splitting high/lows to two seperate amps

hi,
i have a waterstone 12 string bass and would like to split the signal (highs and lows) to a palomino v16 (highs) and lows to a ampeg v4 4x12.

any advice i would be grateful for. :)

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.
 
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.
 
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 :(

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.
 
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!
