ABY splitter with tuner output question

[Discö Rice]

Can the tuner out on this be used as a third line level signal output for an additional amp?

I know it can with the Framptone 3-banger, but that fucker's $369 dollars new, and this guy's $79.

[fallen]

Yeah but it looks like the tuner out is always on...

[Discö Rice]

that's just fine - there will likely be zero switching going on. It will be used to run three bass amps simultaneously.

[Chovie D]

couldnt you build something like that for fairly cheap and customize it to exactly how you want? its juts a couple switches and jacks right, completely passive?

[Discö Rice]

Maybe you could.  I'm a drummer. 

Actually that $79 dollar thingy has a number of other cool options. Seems like a good deal for the money.

[Lumpy]

DOD resistance mixer is like 30-40 bucks used, has one In and four Outs (can be used either direction). No battery required. Knobs don't boost your signal, only cuts. Actually, I don't know if there is any signal loss when splitting your signal this way (duh). If so, could be overcome with a boost in front (MXR Micro Amp or whatever)

If you don't need switching capability, then why pay extra for it. Switching could be cool too, though.

watcha doing running three bass amps at once as a drummer? got some wild e-drums? 

[Discö Rice]

Thanks for the heads up! just found this -

$22.99 requires battery or 9v power supply, provides up to 20db of gain.

Whatcha think?

[Discö Rice]

It ain't me, Choves. My bass player's trying some shit out, and since she doesn't post here I figured I'd check with you hep cats for recommendations.

[RAGER]

that's got 4 inputs and one out.  you want the other way around right?

[Lumpy]

Should go either direction. The DOD mixer is labeled the same. This one has a boost (bonus!)

[Discö Rice]

That's what I was thinking. I wonder...

[RAGER]

Also i have and use the Radial Big shot.  It's a quality device.  But I don't use it for three amps.

[Discö Rice]

Maybe it's reversible if it's completely passive - but would a powered mixer only go one way?

I can't say for sure but my brain tells me yes because of overload handling and diodes and other such gadgetry.  I don't really know the theory, I'm an autodidact

[Lumpy]

The DOD def. goes both directions, as long as you use the correct bi-directional cables*. I have the DOD one and can guarantee it.



*that part is a joke.

Hush. He's a drummer.  Let's sell him some bi-directional cables

[Chovie D]

No expert here either but I think these passive devices dont have diodes and such.
They are literally just jacks , switch and wire. Ive built a few aby boxes...I'll use a resistor if im putting in an led but thats it.

[RAGER]

But running multiple amps like that without isolation transformers can give you wicked hum and some other shit that aint nice

[Discö Rice]

Can I use this device with a bi-directional cable to send a signal to my DVD rewinder?

[RAGER]

You'll need an beta/hdmi adapter

[RacerX]

..with Hazarai^TM

[Lumpy]

I've only used it with electronics, 4 into one solid state amp, so I can't comment on wicked hum.

[Discö Rice]

Perhaps I should take a moment to collect my thoughts, and enjoy some hossafey with a side of flim-flam sauce.

I was serious about this statement though.
