An equalizer is useful for fine-tuning sound at various stages in your effects chain. Many mass produced commercial examples use slide pots, which allow you to squeeze in equalization over more bands into a small enclosure, but do you really need 7+ bands of adjustment?
A two way splitter is handy to have in the pedal toolbox. You could of course buy one… but where is the fun in that? I decided to make on based on a simple tagboard layout from Tagboard Effects. The buffered splitter design comes from AMZ Effects, it’s straightforward to make and sounds good.
A few years ago I decided to build a buffer pedal. If you have too many true-bypass pedals in your signal chain, these are a great utility to have around. The circuit I decided to use was based on the buffer from the Klon Centaur, using a layout from Tagboard Effects.
