Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Had drawn this a long time ago and even build a few for my personal use. AMZ buffers are known to be very good in sound quality, so the splitter is that too. It is very modular and it can have as many output channels as needed. The most common use would still be to … Read more
Updated 6th February 2014 I have a TC Electronic G-Force and Eventide Eclipse in the parallel effects loop of my amp and use a rack mixer to keep them in parallel with each other, and so allow me to use them both 100% wet and so avoid having to digitize my dry signal. I do … Read more
I like these little “utility boxes” (Please take note! This circuit will not work as a blend for pedals that invert the signal polarity (or phase). For a few examples of such pedals; the likes of Dyna Compressor/Ross Comp and their derivatives and Marshall Bluesbreaker among others. The symptom of inverted signal polarity (phase) will … Read more
A simple mini blend layout based on Sean’s JFET schematic here: http://seanm.ca/stomp/minblend.html Will easily fit in a 1590A box and I probably wouldn’t even use a stomp switch with this because in the unblended position of the pot, this will essentially be just a JFET buffer. You could always add a mini toggle to bypass … Read more
This is one of those versatile builds that could be useful for a number of different tasks. Effects and dry signal in parallel, 3 channel splitter/mixer, 1 input 3 outputs for using multiple amps, 3 inputs into one output to use multiple instruments, convert serial effects loop into parallel … and so on. I made … Read more
From Moosapotamus: The ParaLooper is something every effects-using Bass player should have, because it will ‘Bassify’ any bottom sucking, high-passing guitar pedal out there. And, it’s pretty simple to build, too. Instead of just an effect loop pedal, this is actually a little mixer that blends your straight signal with whatever effect (or chain of … Read more
