Instrument Splitter Cable!!!

    Oh this feels like a really stupid question...


    I recenly got a RC-50 looper pedal and I'd like to have multiple instruments connected but I don't want to use my Mixer i.e. I don't want to route the output the output of the mixer (with the diff. instrument connected)to the Peal and send the output of the pedal back to the mixer. I just want to have each instrument connected to the Instrument Input for conveniance as each instrument will only be played one at a time, so there is no need for it to go though a mixer.

    Does such a thing exist or am I looking at getting a cheap mixer?

    Would a line-selector pedal do the job, or how many instruments are ye talkin?

    Like this?

    4 instruments. I suppose that would be a step in the right direction alright.

    You could make one!!
    It may change the impedance of the input, I'm guessing here but they would be 'in series' so the increase may not be that big.

    Otherwise I'd just get a simple A/B box, the kind you'd use for switching into your tuner on stage for example. Better still, you'd make an A/B box easy enough too.

    If you can't solder you should learn anyway. Having a studio or doing live work
    and not being able to solder a jack plug is like a cyclist not being able to fix a puncture.:confused:

    Hi Dave, would this do the trick?

    It does sound like something that could be made easily enough alright. I guess I could win back some man points if I could solder for being so rubbish at DIY!!! To google...

    Alright Eoin,
    How are things? That's actually exactly what I had in mind. The Volume Dials were a bonus!!!! You cant argue with the price either. I'd be stupid not to buy one!!

    And of course it will add that classic Behringer Analogue warmth to my chain!!!
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but instead of getting multiple inputs into something, how would I get multiple outputs out of something?!!!!! I.e a mixer in reverse. E.g. if you wanted to sent the ouput of a pedal to different channels etc...

    Cheers,

    Allright man...just a thought, but in relation to the mixer side, could you not put the looper as a send in your mixer and send whatever you wat to it from there?..and there's such a thing as a splitter for spltting the output signal..
