Sounds Like: Okay, I'll tell you what it does....It's a guitar or bass or synth pedal and...it switches!! It's a buffered passive 3-way splitter with a mosfet booster in the beginning of the path and a loop switch for extra effects. Got it? With one little knob in the middle you take the effects off of one of the split outputs...Sounds like Chinese? Well...it took me ten fucking years to come up with a smart design like that..Don't worry. In simple language: you put your instrument in the input,and straight away you can boost your signal up to 30 dB! That's very useful when you play with more than one instrument with different output levels... You can level it all out with the booster. It's great sounding in the studio to fuck up the input of your amp as well....When boosting up to 30 dB, the input of your amp will fucking melt! Hmmmmmm...After the booster there's a switch that mutes it all. You know, silence and stuff....Rrrrrrrrr.....Then you have three switches: A, B and C who are connected with the A, B, C outputs...All the switches do is muting the signal to the corresponding outputs...The outputs are buffered which means that they can't influence each other: if you split a signal, it looses volume, but if you then mute one of these split signals, the other goes back up...No good if you try to make a sound on a few amps....The buffer fixes that...After that there is a loop switch. You can send your signal to a distortion or a delay or any boring effect by pushing that loop switch...and that is where the switchbitch makes the difference one of your outputs, B, can be taken out of the effect! This gives the pedal so many options! For example: you use an extra Big Muff but your second amp is a small Fender Champ turned open till 10...The Champ will become a loser if you know what i mean...You could take the Big Muff off of that Champ, while your other amps are Big and Muffing all the way! What I'm trying explain is the following: use your amps as a distortion, and with only one extra distortion pedal you have three new sounds on your three amps...iff you have more questions...don't be afraid to ask.
