So I have a dilemma. I really really want my pure Diezel tone, cause it sounds soooooo good in its purity, but I also want all of my effects. With my effects(i.e. multiple pedals) in the serial effects loop I inevitably lose the Diezel tone sparkle, no matter how good my pedal converters and cables, not that its the worst sound in the world, but its just not as good. On the other hand, in Parallel Loops one has to worry about the signal being 100 percent wet at the end of the chain to avoid nasty phasing. Previously I just had one pedal in the chain(timeline) and it wasn't a problem, I put it in killdry mode and naturally it sounded REDIC! But now I added a few to the line up (Big Sky, and H9 max) and obviously having them all in killdry won't work, and/or having the last pedal in the chain killdry only works when its effect is engaged, which I may not want engaged all the time, etc.. Do any of you fine specimens out there have a solution that doesn't involve buying an entire separate rig?
I had a sporadic thought of splitting the parallel out into 3 signals, run those signals into each of my 3 pedals, run their stereo outs into a 6 channel mixer, mix the levels together, use the mixers left right out back into Parallel effects return. A LOT of cabling, and more than likely some signal loss in the signal splitting, but since its just the effects, that may be passable. This solution would definitely be cheaper than an extra rig. Is there precedence for this? Is there a good way/device to split a signal 3 ways without significant signal loss? Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
