Splitter box

Quote from chick

When writing and recording songs I like to keep it quick to get the idea down fast , so my problem is I am using the kemper for Bass and Guitar so I have to keep unplugging chord from guitar to bas and back ,can I use a A B splitter box so I can leave both guitar and bass ready to go and will this effect the sound quality .

A good splitter box like the ones made by http://www.lehle.com won't affect sound quality.

The Lehle Tools are great, but a splitter will always reduce the signal quality a little bit since you need to amplify the signal to get both signal paths to the original level.

Use an A/B switch, not a splitter. It´s a passive device and as long as your are using good cables, there will be no loss of signal quality.

Till is right, actually I meant going for a Lehle A/B switch.

Avoid at all costs the Morley A/B box - it's a tone sucking piece of crap. The Radial A/B box is good on a budget.

Could you just plug one into the front and the other into the Alternative Input ?

You'd have to switch input source on the Profiler then. Or unplug the front input to activate alternative input. An A/B box seems to be more comfortable.

Guys, I use the Neutrik Silent Plug... (connected to Mogami cable)

it kills the audio path when you unplug it vice versa, very very quietly... so no need for the A/B box and additional cable lengths to kill the tone. And using the Mogami cable... well the sound of the instrument is amazing!!! I built mine but you can buy them prefab if you like.

One thing to be aware of with your bass (and possibly the guitar)... if you have active pickups, the circuitry is generally activated by having a cable plugged into the instrument. Leaving everything connected and switching with an A/B pedal might end up draining your battery. Just something to be keep in mind.
