Guitar splitters for studio use.

[C_F_H_13]

So I've decided my next purchase is going to be a guitar splitter. I've used a few different ones (Radial JD7/Little Labs PCP/John Vrtacic Custom) but I'm wondering if there is any simpler ones out there for a little less cash? Really all I want is something I can run 3 different amps off. I don't need the DI/Drag control/8 different amps etc etc etc that all these other ones have...

Any suggestions?

I think Hosa makes some cheap switcher boxes.

the site geofx has schematic for a great one. Use op amps instead of whatever crap theyre using there and youve got a great studio quality splitter for cheap If you cant build, ask someone to do so, its dead easy.

question though. How do you deal with phase if one of your cabinets is outta phase with another? On the radial they got phase switches. Just curious how you work without those on that pedal....

move the cab back a millimeter?

No see we aren't talking about "kind of out of phase" I'm talking about when the polarity of a particular head/cabinet combination is 180 degrees out of phase.

For example, Fender cabinets in general are opposite to mesa cabs.

Flip the phase on the pre or flip it ITB

again yes this doesn't really work especially if you use room mics. The sound in the room drastically changes if one of the amps is out of phase.

Radial make some pretty cool splitters. The headbone etc
