ok, how complicated does a wet/dry pot have to be? is there some kind of preamping involved? i love my crash sync dearly, but was fancied the option of balancing the sonic destruction with some dry signal. but it does pump out a lot of gain, so i suppose just a straight feed from the input into one side of a pot wouldn't amount to much in comparison to the circuit's output.
tried searching the threads, but got a little confused.

Check out the B. Blender: http://www.seanm.ca/stomp/bblender.html

And, check out ROG's Splitter-Blend: http://www.runoffgroove.com/splitter-blend.html

The idea here is that you buffer an input signal, and create two output signals of the same volume.  In the case of the Splitter-Blend, both signals go out to their own effects loop, and then back into the blender.  The B. Blender only is drawn up for one effects loop.  If you built the Splitter-Blend and just omitted one pair of send/return jacks (just short where the tips would be), you'd have essentially the same circuit.

I just built the "Splitter" half of the Splitter-Blend on my lunch break... sounds great!  Out to two amps without loosing quility  :icon_twisted: Can't wait to play with it more-  oohhhhh the possibilities!

Hope this helps!
