ive never used IC's before sooo my question is, what ones do i get for these boards?
also ive just noticed what component is on 15/e with d/s/g written on it on the splitter blend?

Hope you guys can help

IC's are TL072 and other component is MPF102 or 2n5457 (think I used 2n5458 though if I remember right, just because I had one).

I haven't used mine as much as I thought.  Seemed to me like splitting the signal takes some of the dynamics out of my amp.  I should probably experiment a little more though.  Only tried it one time.

check out the buff n blend, it's sweet, and it uses jfets http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/blocksfragments/  it's a little less than half way down in the mixers section
having leftover parts is just proof that you made it better!!!!

I built the splitter blender.  I probably just need to try some different combinations.  I'm fairly happy with my sound at this point so if I plug something in and don't notice a major improvement I don't have a lot of patience.  Someday when I'm in the right mood I'll try it again.
