Driving Two Amplifiers?

[Oggy]

Hi Basschatters,

Does anyone know if a product exists that will let me split the signal from the bass into two amps?

I’d, ideally, like a unit that I can plug the bass output lead into then run two leads out to two separate amps without degrading the signal path to the amps.

I could ask the electronics engineers where I work to knock me something up but If one exists as an ‘off the shelf’ unit I’d probably buy it.

You'll be looking for an ABY pedal.
Make sure it has a buffered output as I don't think passive ABY's are good for driving 2 amps.

TU2 is easiest, although it only mutes one channel if you use both outputs. Some other tuners do it. I think the Super Hard On has two outputs also.

You've also got the option of the Boss LS2 Line Selector, which gives you a bit of control over the level of each output as well...most stereo chorus pedals and suchlike will also run both outputs at all times as far as I know (the Boss one I used to have certainly did) and then you've got the option of slapping a bit of chorus on your bass too...

Hi Woody,

How much do these things go for and what other use does it have? Excuse my ignorance but floor effects are pretty new to me.

The only floor box I use at the moment is a tuner (TU-2, as mentioned by Mr. Foxen), I am thinking about getting an octaver though.
