Saturnworks custom 2-Channel Active / Buffered Summer / Combiner + Splitter

Description: Saturnworks 2-Channel Active / Buffered Summer / Combiner + Splitter This is a pedal I had custom built for me by Saturnworks. It's essentially an Active 2-channel Summer / Combiner and 2-channel Active Buffered Splitter combined into a single pedal that is the same size as either one of those (and only requires one 9VDC input). In other words, when activated by the footswitch (LED ON) it takes two mono signals, actively combines them (no cross-talk or signal loss between them) and then actively splits that combined signal into two mono outputs. When bypassed (LED OFF) each input is connected directly to the matching output (no summing or splitting). I used it for routing a stereo pedal chain into two different amps and could toggle between having separate signals into each amp or the combination of the two signals in both amps. Please note: since this is an active circuit, when the pedal is active (in "sum+split" mode) the combined signal at each output will likely be louder than individual signals on their own. I'm including the descriptions of the Saturnworks 2-Channel Active Summer Summing Amp Combiner and Active Buffered Splitter pedals below for more details on each section of this custom pedal. Saturnworks 2-Channel Active Summer Summing Amp Combiner Pedal The Saturnworks 2-channel active summer combines two signals to one without crosstalk, signal loss, or levels issues. While simple and inexpensive, a downside of passive summers is that they always have some degree 'cross-talk.' In other words, if you turn one channel down, the other can get slightly softer. Our active summer features zero cross talk, which means that turning down one channel won't affect the level of the others at all. Saturnworks active summers are designed to combine a wide array of inputs: guitar, bass, synth, drum machines, etc. Passive summers can also have issues with input impedance mismatch. For example, if you try to combine a guitar with a synth (instrument level + line level) with a passive summer, you may experience volume issues. In some cases, the stronger signal can even cancel out the weaker one. The active 2-channel summer pedal balances the signals' mismatched impedance, meaning you can various signal types without levels issues or crosstalk.A compact 3.6" x 1.5" x 1" 1590A size cast aluminum enclosure.Heavy duty Neutrik 1/4" TS jacks.An active summing circuit that balances mismatched impedance and has zero crosstalk between channels.Runs on standard 9v DC center-negative power.A top quality Lumberg brand power jack.

Need to split your signal? Many players first reach for a Y-cable, but quickly learn that simply splitting a standard (high impedance) guitar signal with a Y-cable can kill your tone and cause signal loss. Putting a buffer before the split is better, but with that setup, the level of one side of the split may affect the level of the other side. The Saturnworks buffered splitter is the best way to keep your tone strong and clear and to eliminate signal interaction between channels. The Saturnworks buffered splitter isn't just a single buffer followed by a signal split. The "dual" in the Saturnworks dual active splitter means that this pedal takes one input signal and splits it into two individually buffered outputs. Each output has its own buffer. This keeps both signals strong and eliminates any levels interaction between channels. The buffered splitter also works great as an always-on tuner out.
