Other than using a current doubler, is the other way around this issue, just powering on the Strymon Zuma without the EHX “9” pedals connected, wait a few seconds, then connect the EHX “9” pedals? (I’m trying to avoid buying more power connectors)

How, each leg is loaded with a resistor. This is not a power amp.

So, you are saying that the Switchblade Plus is a Unbalanced Summing Box? (based upon what I read on the Rane website?)
claxorParticipantQuote:Yes if you hit the switch that says A+B both inputs will mix to one.Ok, I tried it, and it does work, however an engineer friend wrote this to me in an email:
“Please note, the switchblade is just a passive A/B switch for splitting signals, I would not recommend combining signals with a “Y” connection like the switchblade.
See this Rane Tech Note regarding ‘Why not to use a “Y” for combining’ http://www.rane.com/note109.html “Rane describes using a A/B switch as a mixer can be dangerous to the device receiving the output. In my case, the Axefx 2 I use.
Opinion?
claxorParticipantDoes it make any difference if the Swotchblade Plus is powered? Meaning, will the tuner out send out signal, and the pedals’ levels are better?
claxorParticipantOk, so why would it be better with a mixer?
claxorParticipantQuote:When it is used as a passive mixer(in reverse) the tuner out does not work.
Also there is a little gain reduction when both are mixed but just a little.
It is passive that is how it works.Is the gain/level reduction worth getting a small mixer, or can increasing levels on the pedals compensate when using the Switchbalde Plus? (I’m looking for the best sound fidelity)
claxorParticipantQuote:Yes if you hit the switch that says A+B both inputs will mix to one.
I will set it up tomorrow and report what the tuner out outputs.Ok, thank you! Let me know what you discover!
claxorParticipant1) Ok, but what about the tuner out jack in this scenario? Would it send a duplicate signal out just as the input is now sending out?
2) Would both jacks send signal from both mixed pedals? In other words, not the synth 9 on one jack and the Mel 9 on the other jack, but a mix of both pedals?
claxorParticipantIsn’t the SwitchBlade Plus only directional as in one input to two outputs? Or, are you suggesting that the SwitchBlade Plus signal move from two inputs (the labeled A/B outputs) into one output (the labeled input)?
What about the tuner connection? Would it receive the same signal the labeled input connection is sending out? Confused.
claxorParticipantQuote:Sorry no.
Your straight guitar sound need to feed both pedals.You could then combine both outputs together with a switchblade plus and not need a mixer
Ok, but what about changing the levels of one pedal over the other pedal?
