Splitter/Switcher-Box Modified

[Mikey]

Hi Knuckleheads, last week I modified my Electro Harmonix Nano Switchblade to be not only a switcher but a splitter box for the piezo/magnet-signal. I was looking for a splitter box for some time now to be able to use the piezo on my guitars with just a single cord. Then by accident I realized that the three jacks in my switcher-box, wich I use to switch between guitars on stage, are trs or stereo jacks. So I just installed a fourth jack and soldered two wires inside to grab the piezo signal from the upper right input to the piezo output.
So for those of you who are looking for a quite inexpensive and easy to build splitter-box , this might be a good shot!

Cheers Mikey

Brilliant! I've been looking for something like this for a while now...well at least one that wouldn't be too expensive

Did you just install another TRS jack on the right side? (Left in your picture).

I might just have to borrow this idea from you...it seems like it would work pretty well!

Jep, I simply drilled a whole and installed another jack. You don't neccessarily need a TRS jack for this. Then just connect the ground contacts (sleeve) of both jacks and the middle contact from the input (ring) to the tip of the output jack. The only thing you will have to use is a DI-box with a ground lift for the piezo signal because by connecting the ground of your guitar amp and the PA or acoustic amp you will most likely produce hum.

You may of course copy this idea, that's why I posted it here
