Stompbox Converter

 Had a couple questions about stompbox use with line level, so I drew up this. This allows you to drop the line level signal down to instrument level, send it out to whichever stompboxes you want to use, then back and amplified back up to line level. Schematic and discussion here. Made two versions, one that could be run off typical +9v pedal power, and another for bi-polar 12v supply used in Eurorack synths, so you can build it either in pedal form or Eurorack module form.

  5. Is it possible to only make use of one of the circuits? So if i have a line level signal and want to convert it to instrument level? Or having an instrument level signal that i wanna convert into line level?
