Re: splitting a guitar signal?

I don't know what pedals you're using, or if they have a direct out.  If
they do, it's extremely simple.  Run one direct/dry out into the next 
unit.

The "cheapest" solution is to get a y-cable splitter and fork the signal.
Your tone, however, will likely suffer.  Personally, I'd recommend a cheap
4-track mixer or something equivalent to split the signal if your delay
units don't have a direct/dry out, or consider one of the a/b/a+b channel
switchers on the floor.

Your mileage will vary; I use rack delays with dry outs, so I've never had
to contend with this. ;)
