Thanks Mertay,
I'm sure I tried swapping and it was still the amp. I'll test tomorrow all being well. Cheers buddy -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hello Mertay,
I've just reconnected everything and I can't create the problem now.  I hate it when that happens because you don't learn anything.Oh well, I'll see what tomorrow brings. Cheers buddy

Doh!!!!!!
I've just realised, I didn't put the ground loop thing in, it must be that. Got a busy day but I'll test tonight.

Hello Mertay,
Ok, I tried to record clean, not a chance. Now get this, when sending to the amp from the splitter the output is 15 decibels louder than when I switch to sending to both the amp and the soundcard (using a sound level meter next to the mic) BUT, the louder amp signal doesn't even move the peak meter in Reaper whereas the quieter one moves it about 15 decibels more. Also the tone goes from listening to a hi-fi to listening to an old little transistor radio, it loses all bass and get very thin, there is also clicking noises on the recording. I also thought my guitar had to go for repair. The splitter makes my guitar volume knob not work properly, there is hardly any increase in volume until I get to 9 then it goes up massively from 9 to 10, I thought the pot was dying but when I went straight into the amp, a nice steady increase was to be had It is the ground isolator that cause both of the above problems but it solves the noise issue.It wouldn't be anything to do with the ground lift on the amp would it? I think I'll just bin this splitter and get a Radial -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay,
I'm going to ask around but I do think I'll end up going for a Radial. Why can't electricity work like water? You put a Y connector on a hose and it splits the water flow no problem.

Thanks Todd,
The Radial are out of stock at the moment, so any of you know about these? http://www.andertons.co.uk/audio-solutions...h-switching.asp http://www.andertons.co.uk/audio-solutions...h-switching.asp Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Having switchable ground lift, buffer options it does look pretty cool. Don't know how it compares to the radial but wouldn't expect it to be bad. |

Thanks folks
This is more of a minefield than anything else I've thought about. Someone else at Anderton's has recommended THIS, there is a youtube vid below. I'm not sure it's really what I want though. I'm thinking long and hard about this one  I don't know Mr John Cuniberti (Surfin With The Alien etc) invented this device and sold the rights and company to Radial I'm still going with the quality a/b y at the moment. I would like the silent switching Fultone (if I go with that one) but it's in yukky cream colour  And what's the difference with THIS one given the price???

QUOTE (Mertay @ Mar 23 2016, 10:08 PM) I'm not sure about that reamp kit...something feels wrong to me to connect 2 boxes to split a signal... The ABY pedal from radial though also looks promising, I guess the tuner out can be used as another split (can't be sure how clean it would be though still nice). Reviews look good. Really up to you at this point to select which one I am at a loss  I'm still thinking the twin city because the extra cost from the same manufacturer must mean something -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
