Splitter

[pshep68]

What are bass players using as splitters these days? I want to split my bass signal two ways... One to my amp... and a second to a preamp prior to going to the FH DI. I am not looking to spend a lot of money, buy would like a decent quality.

Boss LS2 is pretty much the way forward. Not the cheapest ever but it gives you so many options. Vein tap and bright onion pedals in the uk do a couple of really nice splitters as well, as do lots of other companies but there's a reason why the LS2 is seen so often.

Variety of options out there. An ABY like the EHX Switchblade+ or Morley ABY would work, along with the LS-2 mentioned already. Depending on the preamp you want to use, a lot of them have this built in: regular effected out would go to FOH and a parallel non-effected signal would go to your amp. MXR DI+, Sansamp, VT Bass DI, and I believe the Darkglass B7k/VMT Deluxe have this feature.

What about to use Parallel Output on things like Sansamp? You can send uneffected signal to AMP with it and get a Sansamp tone through DI output.
