The Twickerman Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Hi folks, I am thinking of splitting my bass signal. so that middle and treble are handled by a guitar amp, with the bass frequencies routed to me bass amp. I need (therefore) a crossover! - does anyone make a pedal sized crossover pedal? Or maybe a small unit that could be easily mounted in my pedal board? Any ideas? - Nick.

Finbar Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Also take a look at the Rolls SX21. Don't know how easy they are to come by anymore, but mine's really useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be suitable as an instrument input it needs to be 1MOhm. So I guess the answer is "no". The SFX unit remains the only suitable solution... so far.

Finbar Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I've plugged my bass into it plenty of times and haven't noticed anything amiss. Otherwise though, no, they're the only two things I can think of off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
