    Source
  • The HumDinger is highly effective for running two amps in phase and resolving ground loop issues, ideal for simultaneous amp use without a switcher.

    Source
  • The HumDinger's transformer isolation and phase/ground lift switches can be used to connect to one stereo pedal output, isolating and sending output to one amp.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Lehle P-Split III is suggested as a viable alternative, offering isolated output and phase switching like the HumDinger.

    Source
  • Goodwood Audio's The Interfacer, The Underfacer, and The Output are mentioned as potential alternatives, depending on specific needs.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Owners often use the HumDinger to solve ground loop issues when running two amps simultaneously, a common problem not easily solved by isolated power supplies.

    Source
  • For users wanting to A/B and ABY, the GigRig ABY BABY is preferred, offering versatile setups with up to three amp options.

    Source
  • The HumDinger is particularly effective when placed at the end of the last stereo pedal, directing isolated output to one of the amps.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners using the HumDinger praise its simplicity and effectiveness for running dual amps without needing complex switchers.

TheGigRig Humdinger

Split your signal, correct phase & kill hum.

Great for DI, reamping, wet/dry and plenty more besides.

The Humdinger was designed to eliminate earth loops in audio equipment by isolating the second output with a high quality audio transformer. Earth loops are a common complaint. As soon as the ground on your gear has more than one main route to earth, you have the potential for an earth loop. The best and safest way to get rid of an earth loop is to isolate the ground that is causing the hum.

Using the Humdinger to get rid of earth loops is easy. If you use 2 amps all you need to do is stick the HumDinger at the end of your effects chain. Your main (buffered) output goes to one amp and the isolated output goes to the other. Your earth is consistent through the main output but isolated through the isolated output.

Using a mains powered effects pedal, simply place the HumDinger in the chain after the mains powered effect. The Mains powered effect is your main ground and the ground from the amp is isolated.
