Re: splitting a guitar signal?

"Your tone will suffer" being the operative phrase in these replys to your
splitter question! Over here @ "STANITARIUM" we have tried every splitter 
on
this planet and if you are  talking about a guitar signal,we have never
found anything that doesn't in some way deterioate that signal.That said we
remain humble in our search.When the word "cheap" enters into this CHEAP is
what you get! Let your ears be the judge...always searching...STANNER
