Plugging bass and synth into pedal board?

Hi guys, want to start using my novation bass station synth in my band so was wondering the best way to put that and my bass through the pedal board simultaneously? Obviously the synth is line level so I’m wondering if I need a kind of reverse splitter with some kind of signal reduction? I guess as always there are a number of solutions so all recommendations gratefully received!
Thanks!

This was my solution - the pedal on the left. There are more complex alternatives but this is a neat solution in a standard sized pedal enclosure.



Synth into channel A, Bass into channel B. Lower the volume of channel A to match the volume of the bass in channel B. Bright Onion were great to deal with too. Product link here: http://www.brightonion.co.uk/products/AB-Switch-with-Volume-Control.html

Only if your amp as a blend knob for the fx loop. But that doesn't solve your problem of running bass + synth through the pedal board unless I don't quite get your vision?

That Bright Onion box is just a switcher with a level control for one of the inputs by the looks of it, but they do custom work so can make whatever you can dream up.

In fact, the pedal on the right of my photo is a mixer which will allow you to have both signals running at the same time. It was a custom order. One input is always on at full volume and the other input is footswitchable with a dedicated volume knob to set its volume when engaged. Very useful little pedal. I think it cost me around £50 ish?
