Indispensable studio/gig tool

I bought this seeking to help expand our singer/guitar player's live sound. Currently building a home studio and I know this will become very useful while recording.

hypernurd

The best 2->1 signal splitter out there.

Solid German engineering. Attention to detail and component quality is second-to-none. I use this to split my clean guitar tone direct to my DAW and to my effects board at the same time so I can record what I practice and add post effects in software later. Great box.

Mesa also gave a good explanition of what his Lehle P-Split does.

"The Lehle switches the MXR Doubleshot Distortion and Boss NS-2 gate in/out of the signal path with one switch. The gate is used because there is too much gain with the MXR causing the guitar to squeal. Kim doesn't want a gate on his signal all the time because he does a lot of low-level, subtle techniques that would get lost with a gate."
