ABY Pedal with no signal loss?

[Eagle]

Try the Sonicake. There's no Vodoo behind these circuits, even if some people would like you to believe it.

It’s not isolated it’s only buffered . It’s not believe it’s just not sufficient for most applications.
Your telling him to buy something that won’t work in most applications waste time and money then have to buy the actual product. Good job.

Untrue. I used a buffered DIY splitter for several things in the past and it worked absolutely well. And in terms it didn't, I could always connect a little galvanic isolation box, such as the Behringer HD400, which is working excellently (I even modified one with better secured I/O jacks). Still heaps cheaper than a Lehle.

But why bother with this garbage when the perfect solution is available and not particularly expensive. It’s a totally false economy.

It's not garbage, you seem to have little experience with those items.

I use a Fender and the more expensive Orange and have had no problems with either of them.
I bought this one in 2022 for a small afford a board project and it works fine.

I have a Boss to knocking around somewhere.

That can't be. It's impossible. Ask Eagle.

I’ve built numerous pedalboards for pro users and skimping on core components that may not work in future applications is a basic no. Isolated powering and isolation Y functions are not negotiable. Trying to save $100 dollars on a $3k pedal board is asking for trouble. The products from Gig Rig and Lehle just don’t fail and are top quality in the audio path and switch silently.

So what? How many pro users with 3k pedalboards do you expect to be on this forum?

 

[Eagle]

Do you use these cables?

Why not?

He hasn't said what he plans to use the thing for...who knows if he needs isolation, buffer, or anything.

"Hey guys, I've been a home owner for 25 years. I need a saw that can cut a pine 1x4 with and in the previous 25 years have never had reason to own a saw. What should I get for this project?"

And btw, I am using my pedalboard professionally (as in making my living with it). But hey, what do I know...

That looks perfect

If they had the perfect length for a patch cable in an all buffered environment, of course. And why wouldn't I?

(And yes, before you think it's a clever thing to suggest, I did A/B comparisons with cables 20 x the price.)

 

[Eagle]

What is he saving by buying the budget option that may not even work out? The good one isn’t really that expensive.

100 bucks and some space (compared to, say, the Little Lehle III).

 

[Dave Lewis]

Just taken a picture of my Fender which for the last few months has been plugged into my Electro Harmonix Mig 50.
So I could switch between both inputs .
Works and sounds excellent
They are not expensive new or used.

No isolation a crappy switch and worse audio quality crappy build quality vs $100 more and that’s without factoring in an isolation box .
It’s a choice but a pretty easy one. .
