    I’m selling my Fishman Triple Play rig because it’s overly complicated and I really only use the organ and keyboard sounds anyway, so I thought the C9 and Key9 would be good replacements.

    I’m devising a way to run each signal independently and I think I’ve come up with a solution, just wanted to see if this would work. I’m building a ABC switch with three inputs and one output that I can switch each signal on/off as needed. The one drawback I see is that my guitar signal has to run through two buffers all the time, but this gives me alot of cool layering options with global time based effects. Any other ideas on how to route this?

    It sure wood.
    The ONLY problem you may have is a phase problem with the other pedals if they are all mixed together.
    No way to know unless you try it.
    If it is out of phase it will sound thin and weird.
    If not you will have a killer setup!

    Thanks for the tip. I got the Key9 pedal in and it appears that the it’s out of phase with the guitar with this setup……so I’m thinking that once it goes through the buffer of the C9 it will be back in phase. Otherwise I’ll have to build a little inverting opamp buffer circuit in the ABC pedal…..oooohhh….or make a switchable inverting buffer for each channel :-)

    Very cool!
    Let us know how it goes!
    With the Key9 make sure you start with the settings in the manual.
    They are what was used on the demo.

    I have the B9 and C9 pedals and I plug my guitar cable into a Y adapter and then run each one into its own amp,the resulting sound is incredible.The only problem with it is that you have to decide which pedal you will plug into your effects chain,that’s if you only have 1 phaser,1 flanger etc. but if you have more than 1 of each effect you can make up twin effects chains-which really sounds deadly, especially with modulation and reverb/delay/echo pedals.Give it a go,the resulting sounds are addictive.Cheers.
