I want to add one more channel to the ROG split/blender. Please help.

I wanted to try parallel mixing. I'd like to use my deep blue delay clone and Hermida reverb clone.
My amp has only simple serial loop.

I googled and found Splitter-Blend from ROG. (http://runoffgroove.com/splitter-blend.html).
It looks like it has everything I want except I need one more channel.
I made one and hoping that it will work,  I splitted one signal line from the input and connect to the mixer out.
And I got very low volume and funny sound.
So I guess I need at least 3 channels. one for delay, one for reverb, and one for dry signal.

Can someone direct me how to accomplish it?
I guess also each channel should have pots for the volume control.

Hi
I'm not totally sure about your question/problem.
But.....if you split the line ahead of the splitter/blender and ran it to the mixer, you'll get a problem if the input impedance of the mixer is low. This is because the input impedance of the splitter/mixer is very high (1 M).

There are many simple blender/splitters around. I like the simple JFET ones. Just put it between the ROG circuit and the mixer (as a blender) to provide a nice high impedance to both signals.

Here is 1/2 your answer :o)    Use JFETs to split your outgoing signal.   Do your processing, and then use a good mixer (again, JFETs work well here) to keep your impedances in the right place (H input, L output).    You should find that this circuit here works very well for what you want to do!   
Nice idea on parallel effects, also...
