If you ALL promise to buy one, maybe we can bring them back??????????

I just bought one from Pete 2 weeks ago. I think he bought a bunch when they were discontinued. He may still have a couple.

Sorry man, I've been away working and just rushed back home after getting bad news about a really close cousin in St Louis.

I gotta go into the office and later on I'll open up the box of tricks - but there is nothing secret in there.

I'll take photos and post em later.

Gotta rush of now - later.

I got one from Pete as well. I might get another just to leave it in its original bag and take it ti the Antiques Road Show in a few years.

OK I just knocked this up

because it wasn't clear from these photos what was happening

I wonder if Strings & Things UK have any?

I should be getting one from Pete when my BFR ships. Also, kneeoh got one from the EB website not too long ago--within the past month or two.

The Prince of Darkness as I call him (Beej) is the ex purt - and if he thinks a cap or two will improve it - I'll certainly listen.
Glad yours worked out ok, but of course, it doesn't exist without pics!!

Naw, for a splitter that's all good. All you're doing is taking a stereo plug and sending the signal to two mono plugs ... no magic there.

If you had a footswitch wired in there to A/B the signals (e.g. off gives you mags, on gives you piezo, etc.) then you could put in some magic to help avoid the "click" sound.
