Geofex Hum-Free Splitter Question

Hi all, I want to built a signal splitter to send my guitar signal to three different inputs (2 amps + a POD).  I'm looking at the Geofex hum-free splitter schematic found here: http://www.geofex.com/FX_images/splitter.gif

That circuit has three outputs; two are transformer-coupled and one is a direct output.  Would this do what I want it to do, or do I need to modify the circuit to add a third transformer-coupled output?

Thanks!

Probably. The guitar works fine straight into one amp(?), without isolation. The problem comes with multiple amps tied together both at the inputs and at the wall-plug. Keen's splitter breaks the signal lines.

If you have some odd case, it would be trivial to add a third transformer. (That's about the limit,  2 to 4; if you needed ten outputs you'd get weak sloppy bass and would want a stronger opamp; but three should be OK.)

Kinetic,
You're gonna love the design. It performs as well as any $100+ thing out there and the components are pretty inexpensive. Have fun.
