Just for grins I ran leads from both the 'wet' and 'dry' out of a digitech whammy IV into separate channels on a PA. It made for some fun 'self harmonizing' solos. It gets muddy pretty quick when playing more than one note though.

I was working on an ABY to do this for me but Im not sure whether or not to buffer the two lines. Any thoughts?

Does buffering ever hurt?
(that is truly a serious question)

I have a xp100 (whammy wah), You can get some crazy ass sounds if you run the dry signal through a state variable filter with the res. set to oscillate , then run 'em into a simple op-amp mixer. which you probably would have one left over if you used a quad or a couple o' duals. I guess that all depends on the design.

sorry for ramblin on all over your thread.

Well the whole "true bypass" crowd would probably raise a squawk. Its easy enough to make an emitter follower into a pot for level.

Im sure I have extra opamps floating about though.

ive had quite a good laugh taking the wet signal from a whammy set to harmonize and sending it into a green ringer. :D so far ive only actually done it with my little casio keyboard. really should try guitar
