I Need A Pedal That I Can Plug Into And Then Run It Into Four Different Amps

Is there one? Can any of you make me one? This will be for me recording my bass. Yes, I may be crazy, but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing....lol. I mean hell, doesn't every song need 8 tracks of different sounding bass in it? I think so!!:)

I could do this with my Morely A/B/Y switch, but then I would have to double track to get the four outputs. I'd rather just track my bass one time.

I would look at Radial they have a bunch of that stuff. Morley makes a switcher but I think it is only 3 amps.

Yeah, I looked at the Morely, and I think George Lynch has some 3 way as well. I just wondered if there might be a 4 way out there that isn't crazy expensive. I'm not going to spend $229 or whatever on one. I can double track close enough to make my Morely ABY work.

I guess I could always come out of my Morley ABY into a stereo chorus or something as well. I'm just running some ideas through my head at the moment.

Hi Jolly,
as a recording guy, my answer is to track your bass once "dry" meaning as vanilla as possible; then "re-amp" your bass as many times as you like. It might be nice to create 4 stereo tracks simultaneously, but you will be just as successful in your ultimate goal of creating good recordings.
I have looked at a few of your videos and looks like you use a hardware digital recorder. I have always found computer based recording to be easier for this sort of task...simple as highlight a track with a mouse and hit copy/paste 4x.
You are making good recordings, so do not be afraid to experiment... just please remember that somebody has probably already come up with a solution to most recording challenges.
best wishes, j.t.

How about two stereo effects coming off of the aby box?

Thank you so much for your response. I dig where you're coming from, and that probably is the best way. I've just always done things in different ways...lol

this is for the studio right?
Just record direct, then duplicate the track 3 times and reamp each of the tracks.
This will actually work better than your plan of having all 4 amps running at once into 4 channels, because you will have clear track separation and no mic bleed or phasing issues, giving you more control over the mixing process and a bigger, more multi dimensional sound in the end.

also....with the money you have saved in not buying a 4 way splitter, you can afford a sansamp BDDI which will give you massive flexibility and options when recording, reamping or mixing.

What is your goal? To sound good, or to reinvent the wheel for its own sake?

Four-way re-amping is fine if you have almost limitless tracks available on which to place the five audio Regions.

Frank Falbo's suggestion is exactly what was requested. It should enable the directing of signals to multiple amplifiers. The output signals could be mixed directly to a single audio track on JOLLY's Roland VS recorder.

As for JOLLY's goal? I would guess immediacy. He comes across as a one-take, all the way through, kinda guy rather than a Becker/Fagen millisecond perfectionist. I visualise him, blending up a sound, hitting record and just winging it.

Live has a certain immediacy. I like it.
 
Re: I Need A Pedal That I Can Plug Into And Then Run It Into Four Different Amps

See if you can assign one Input in the VS to 4 tracks.

The problem with the ABY box idea is that one side goes to the VS, the other side to a second ABY, and one of those goes to the VS, and one to a third ABY, and that one goes to the 3rd and 4th VS inputs.

Alternatively, you can make a 1-in-4-out guitar cable.

Check out Saturnworks pedals. They have active, multi-output splitters with each output being buffered and isolated. I haven't used one but I ran across them when I was looking for an active ABY. They are affordable. Maybe worth checking into at least.

Maybe a GigRig 2?
 
Re: I Need A Pedal That I Can Plug Into And Then Run It Into Four Different Amps

Like they said above
Try one direct track and reamp to different tracks
 
Re: I Need A Pedal That I Can Plug Into And Then Run It Into Four Different Amps

I like the reamping idea. It is easier, you don't have to buy anything, there is no bleed, and you can experiment with different sounds from each amp too.
 
Re: I Need A Pedal That I Can Plug Into And Then Run It Into Four Different Amps

i think you could do that with an akai head rush
