hi there just wondering what options there are out there for splitting into two amps. I want to run a wet dry rig so will tap off my pedalboard after the drive pedals to go to one amp and then after the delay reverb as normal to the other amp. There's the radial aby big shot thing, gigrig gizmo otherwise I'm struggling for something inexpensive. Ideally I want a box with a phase reversal, no footswitch malarkey, ground lift and passive if possible. I'm sure I'm missing some obvious product out there that's not loads of money? My amps don't have loops or anything fancy, it's a 5e3 and champ.

he would probably make you whatever you want if you'd rather have no foot switches.
What's your budget?
EDIT: Didn't read about not wanting footswitches. My mistake.
These are really good, used they go for about £100.
does everything you require as far as I know and also phase reversal
i have a couple and they seem to work fine

That ^ gets you the isolation and phase flip (rev wired cable) so long as you drive it from a buffered source. Doubt it would work well from a daft "true bypass" pedal.
Dave.
Output B is slightly duller than output A if you're just going from guitar to your amps, but that issue disappears if you have a buffered pedal in the chain (ie, any pedal which isn't true bypass). The pedal doesn't have to be switched on btw.
Having identical-sounding outputs is critical for me as I use a pair of identical amps, but even with guitar/wireless/amps it works perfectly - you just need something powered in the chain.
As you're using it to basically split your pedalboard into two amps the passive version will be fine, and it has phase reversal and ground lift.
