Sorry...gotta ask again (this is not a "bump" -- this thread is active).

How do you split the signal coming out of the guitar?

I've tried Boss pedals (the buffered gain structure takes away some of the "spank" from the sound), Line 6 Echo Farm (which actually SEEMS to be passive(?) -- if it's unpowered, it'll still pass signal through, unlike the Boss), and the Morley A+B (which seems to suck out high end & gain, but that's only one experience).

I know there are splitters & buffer boxes -- I want some specifics if possible (thanks!).
