Description
Need a splitter for your guitar, bass, keyboard, or other instrument? How about splitting stereo signals? Saturnworks has you covered with a variety of options to cover your splitting specs.
Splitters may be broadly categorized as either active or passive. Not sure which type is right for your setup? Check out our FAQ section for more detailed information on passive versus active splitters.
Passive Summer/Splitter
A handy little passive splitter/summer pedal that passively splits or sums signals — available in two or three channel versions. The micro passive summer/splitter features Japanese Lumberg jacks and a tiny (2″ x 2″ x 1.3″) enclosure.
The passive ‘mini mixer’ mixer/splitter version adds volume controls. It can be used as a simple 2-channel passive mixer or a passive 2-way splitter with level controls.
The passive stereo summer/splitter passively splits or sums one pair of signals into two pairs, or vice versa. The channels can also be used individually for mono passive splitting/summing.
Unlike Y-cables, which simply wire the jacks together, Saturnworks passive summer/splitters use a passive resistor network to minimize levels interaction between channels.
Active Splitter & Splitters with Switches and Level Controls
The Saturnworks active splitter a great way to split your signal. The Saturnworks splitter features two buffers, one on output. Since each output has its own buffer, your signal also stays strong and clear over long cable runs.
The versions with switches and level controls add (you guessed it) switches and level controls. The level controls only cut volume. If you’re looking to boost your outputs, the versions with clean boosts have discreet clean boosts circuits on each output to provide more oomph to your signal.
3-Way and 4-Way Active Splitters
Drawing on the same active circuitry as the active/buffered splitter, Saturnworks 3 and 4-way splitters takes a single input and splits it into three or four outputs. Each channel of the split has it own buffer, which means strong output signals and zero tone or level loss.
The 2:4 splitter splits two inputs to two pairs of outputs, using the same buffered splitting circuits as the 2, 3, and 4-output splitters. This version works great for splitting a stereo signal.
Pan Pedal
Everyone knows how an A/B pedal works…camera one/camera two. How about a pedal that seamlessly pans your guitar back and forth between two amps? Say hello to the Saturnworks pan pedal.
You can set the knob fully counterclockwise for one output, fully clockwise for the other, or anywhere in between to blend the two. The Saturnworks pan pedal uses dual active buffers for panning across two outputs without tone loss. If you only have one amp plugged in, you can use the pan pedal as a buffered volume control. You can also use the pedal pedal as a simple buffer or buffered splitter.
The pan pedal now uses a unique ‘blend’ pot. Rather than criss-crossing each other like an X, with a possible volume dip in the middle, the blend pot maintains the outputs’ signals at full volume at the midway point. The pot also features a center detent, so you can easily tell when you’re at the 50/50 mark.
Bass Mod
The bass mod allows more lower-range frequencies to enter the circuit. The mod doesn’t cut any highs and therefore can also be used with guitars. If you would like to add a bass mod to any active splitter, head on over to our custom upgrades page where you can add this mod at no additional cost.
Saturnworks pedals are handcrafted in the USA with boutique-grade features, including:
- Solid cast-aluminum enclosures.
- High quality footswitches, where applicable.
- Sturdy Neutrik jacks — or premium Swithcraft jacks on the black versions.
- Active pedals run on standard 9v DC center-negative power.
- A 1-year limited warranty against parts and manufacturing defects.
