I've seen Klaus' box before, but actually that wasn't the one I was 
thinking
of.  The one to which I was referring is here:

        http://www.chd-el.cz/index.php?id=140&lngid=en

The SGUS-3 by Elektroservis, out of Praha (not Deutschland, as I'd
originally stated).  Allows for one GK instrument to be routed to any or 
all
of three GK devices (Roland VG, GR, etc.).

Also, I was mistaken bout the second input.  Rather, that second jack is an
audio output so that the normal guitar pickup's signal can be taken 
straight
from the 13-pin cable to another effect loop or amp.

Price is 165 Euros, which is comparable to the US-20 price (but with more
functionality).  Don't know what shipping is like, but the pricelist was
updated January 2011, so he's keeping current, it seems.
