Effects - Pedals, Multi-Effects, and Floor Boxes

splitter -->multiple stereo fx with mono in/stereo out-->stereo mixer. Of course, all of your stuff will now be in parallel.

I have one of these. Works well.

Also this works well in many situations.

Coincidentally, Jon Chappell's review in this week's edition of the HC Confidential Newsletter (ask me how you can get it for FREE!) is this: http://unitaudio.com/milli-unit.html http://www.harmonycentral.com/docs/DOC-2582

Interesting that you could use this as a budget 8 channel passive DAW summer (like a Folcrom, but half the inputs and 1/4 the price). Honestly I am not a convert to the idea that you need external summing to "avoid a number-crunching burden on the computer’s processor." There may be theoretical advantages to summing externally, but that's not one of them.

seems pricey for a low parts count box that's limited in what it can do.

To the pro audio crowd, that box will seem super cheap. To the pedal crowd, not so much.

I built a couple for myself and others, but mainly I use this for exactly what you describe:

and here's one I built a million years ago

Your finishes always look gorgeous.

You could restrict your purchases to only those pedals with stereo IN & OUT and remove the need for an extra box. The Hardwire series of pedals would make this an easy task. HT2 -> TL2 -> SC2 -> CM2 -> CR7 => SP7 => DL8 => TR7 => RV7 => two different amps But that would presume that you like the Hardwire pedals enough to invest in such a rig. Heh...run the outputs of the above chain to a pair of EHX 44 Magnum power amps and a 1x12 speaker cab each, placed 10 feet apart.

Quite right. The Roll Folcrom is $775 new. Even the SM Pro Audio PM8 is $400 or so "street." Compared to that, this is quite inexpensive... but to the pedal community, $150 for a box that "doesn't really do anything" seems kind of high.

Passive or active? Or is it a passive summer with an active gain make-up stage? Oh and - I agree - the case looks fantastic. Great job on the finish! hil:

Nice suggestion - thanks. :cool:

Both, sort of. The toggle at the back switches between passive, and passive summer with active make-up.

[Phil O'Keefe]

Nice! :cool: In passive mode, is it just using 10k resistors?
