The Saturnworks 2-channel active summer combines two signals to one without crosstalk, signal loss, or levels issues.

While simple and inexpensive, a downside of passive summers is that they always have some degree 'cross-talk.' In other words, if you turn one channel down, the other can get slightly softer. Our active summer features zero cross talk, which means that turning down one channel won't affect the level of the others at all.

Saturnworks active summers are designed to combine a wide array of inputs: guitar, bass, synth, drum machines, etc. 

Passive summers can also have issues with input impedance mismatch. For example, if you try to combine a guitar with a synth (instrument level + line level) with a passive summer, you may experience volume issues. In some cases, the stronger signal can even cancel out the weaker one. The active 2-channel summer pedal balances the signals' mismatched impedance, meaning you can various signal types without levels issues or crosstalk.

Interesting in setting up a parallel signal chain for your rig? You can pair our active summer with our 2-channel active splitter to create a 2-channel parallel setup that allows you create unique blends of sounds. Or check out our listing for the Saturnworks parallel pedal that combines a 2-channel active splitter and 2-channel active summer into one convenient enclosure.
