Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and a first time poster 🙂 I have multiple pedals with stereo outputs and of course mono inputs. So I was wondering if it would be possible, to make a 4 input 1 output passive junction box, so that I could run the second/right output of each pedal into the box and then out to a second amp? will this work and give me a stereo signal? Is there anything I'm not thinking of? I'm fairly cluey with signal path pedalboard set up amps I general, but pedal internals, I'm not so familiar with I have some understanding but probably only enough to get myself into trouble lol. I know I could probably use a small mixer but I don't want to go that road if I don't have to as I want to keep less in my chain if possible. I haven't been able to find anything on the net that will achieve what I need. I'm thinking a custom looper switcher system could work?

A four position rotary switch would be fine. And passive would be fine. A four channel mixer would certainly be best. You could try a passive mixer, but you will also need a splitter if you mix- so that each pedal input gets the original signal and not just a reverbed and flanged daisy chain output from the other pedals.  If you can live with one at a time, passive will work.
Welcome!

Awesome thanks for the reply! Could you please link me to something of the like? Would it basically end up being a patch bay of sorts?

Google 4 position rotary rotary switch.  You only need one pole. Here's a small 6 position switch
