So I'm sure this has been brought up before but when i search for this, everyone is talking about splitting the guitar before the amp.

I want to run some parallel effects out of my line out of my peavey 6505 OR any effect loop of any amp, then send them back to a mixer, then either sum the signal OR send the wet to a separate power amp.

Being a line signal out of the preamp, could I get a good result by splitting the signal once and then daisy chain (Y or wiring the cable to parallel/split) one path to all the effects that i want to run in parallel?

Or will I need to purchase a line splitter and send the signal to each pedal separately?

It would be really cool if I could just parallel all the inputs of all the effects but that just seems to good to be true.

figure 11 and figure 13 are the exact two scenarios I am talking about. Rane says that you should be fine using the method in figure 11, but then figure 13 makes more logical sense to me.
hopefully you guys have some input because im going crazy here with a million different ways to set this up
 
Well, it depends on the impedances of the FX send and the inputs of the FX units, but in most cases you can get by with simply Y-splitting line level signals. Doesn´t work with instrument signals, but line is fine.

Thanks for the reply. So far I'm thinking about getting the wounded paw mini mixer http://woundedpaw.com/fx/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=15
which will be all I need if im using my 6505 preamp out. it has the option of sending and returning also.

and for other amps to split the effects loop, I can get the EHX chillswitch to do the job http://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...e=&network=g&gclid=CKCtiuC9iMgCFUiGfgodvp4NaA

Thats where I'm at currently. I havent bought anything yet because im not ready to reamp and who knows when that will be
