Splitting Signal Advice

[Uberkate]

Hiya BCers. Need some advice on best/most efficient way to set up these separate pedal effects chains (going out to one amp). They don't need to be stacked.

 

Signal 1:

Tuner > preamp > fuzz > amp 

 

Signal 2:

Drop tuner > drive/boost > amp

 

I'm thinking I'd obviously need to split signals at the start of the chain, but then I'd need something at the other end like an ABY to do the actual switching, right? 

 

Cheers.

It has 2 loops. Put Signal 1 stuff into Loop 1, and Signal 2 stuff into Loop 2 and use the footswitch to swap between them.

 

Job done.

EHX tri parallel mixer... would this work for you? It can switch between channels or you can have them in parallel.

Or can run the 2 signals in parallel if you want

Interesting. Would be good to have some vol and EQ control.

I've found the tri parallel mixer to be so useful it's now at the heart of my pedalboard. Apart from being able to switch between channels, parallel effects blending has become a big thing for me, and some effects like my Solid Gold FX supa funk do not like a hot signal, so with this I can tame the level going to the unit but increase on return. A very versatile little mixer.
