Parallel out ‘loading’ pickups (Darkglass X7)

Hi there,

Just a quick question regarding the parallel out of my Darkglass X7 .. is it active or passive ? I’m wanting to send two signals (wet & dry) to pc interface & don’t want to ‘load’ my passive bass pickups. If it’s just hardwired parallel out then I assume it will ‘load’ them or am I wrong ? I can get an active splitter if this is the case.
Basically want wet signal with comp/effects/dirt & separate dry/clean signal as backup ..
any thoughts/opinions most welcome … thanks in advance TBers …
