keeponehandloose Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Anyone know of a crossover stompbox. I want to split the signal from my bass so that the highs only can run to a delay. Iknow there are lots of rack crossovers,but I want something for my pedalboard. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 If you can find some kind of pedal with either a stereo output or just some form of splitter (a cheap Y-cable would work), you could then send send one signal through an EQ pedal, cut all the lows and then send this signal through to a delay pedal. Of course you could then belend these two signals together at the end as well using a simple wet/dry blender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance[/quote] You are indeed talking about an item that is very sought after by many bassists. As far as I know there's nothing readily available but I know that Max from [sfx] is working on a design for a unit like that so keep your eyes open. Knowing Max's work first hand I can say that whenever the unit is ready it will quite possibly revolutionise the world of effects as he's already taking over the effects world.

keeponehandloose Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Found this on Ebay. Think it may do the trick Item number: 350327666736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) An alternative way of doing it - EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai has a built in filter so you can get top end delay without muddying up your low end. That [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350327666736"]ebay item[/url] mentioned is a crossover alright but isn't designed to accept the signal from a straight passive bass, and you'd still need an extra box to miux the signals back together again unless you're bi-amp-curious. This would be ideal if you can build one yourself: [url="http://www.moosapotamus.net/THINGS/paraloop.htm"]http://www.moosapotamus.net/THINGS/paraloop.htm[/url]. I bet Max at [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=home"]sfx[/url] would be able to cook something up to suit!

cheddatom Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 This is something that would be really useful for a lot of people. I'd like something like the LS-2 but replace the mode knob (we only want the mix mode) with a crossover knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Try a Rolls SX21. It's not switchable and you'll have to mix the signal back together once it's been processed. It's utterly tiny and the crossover itself is tiny. I had contacted Max about it but he steered me in the direction of a mix unit which I use as the combination of the splitting and crossover he suggested might prove a bit pricey. Had he done a crossover then, I probably would have bit his hand off for it. If/when he does make such a device it'll more than likely be genius.

dangerboy Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 This: [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/peavey/bac2"]http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/peavey/bac2[/url] And turn the chorus off. The crossover is at 400Hz, I think. I keep one lying around for exactly this purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 thanks for the suggestions,I have emailed Maxat SFXSOUND and it seems he has something up his sleeve in the near future so I will be hanging on for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
