The signal sufferes if you split the passive guitar signal. If you go 
through any rather modern effect box, it brings impedance down and 
you can easily split its output with a Y to several inputs.

If you have some kind of a Overdub or freeze option on the delay 
pedals, you do not need to switch between the inputs of the two, but 
feed both all the time.
So it only costs you an Y adapter or making an Y cable.
