Galaxy Audio JIB/S 4-Way Splitter, Original Version

I bought the Galaxy Audio JIB/S with the purpose of connecting one electric guitar to multiple amplifiers simultaneously, which would allow me to play through any of the amps without needing to rearrange cables every time I wanted to make a switch. Before I found this listing, I was actually getting ready to build an ABCD/Y pedal that would allow me to actively switch between amplifiers, but I opted to give the JIB/S a shot first because the price was roughly comparable to the cost of materials for a similar device. After taking it apart and giving it a quick test run, here are my thoughts on this little gadget:The construction of the JIB/S is about as basic and low-tech as you can get. This is a two-piece steel box with five TRS jacks, one input and four outputs, all connected in a linear fashion. This splitter is so basic, in fact, that any DIY-er with the right tools could feasibly build one within an hour - all you would need for materials are a sheet of 20-gauge steel or heavier, two screws, five TRS jacks and maybe a foot of bare wire. Considering it is made to feed one signal into several monitors, it doesn't need to be more advanced than this... and I prefer to keep my rig as analog as possible.Simplicity aside, this thing is pretty sturdy for what it is. There is definitely a heavier chassis out there, but this is a passive device without switches and thus shouldn't be subjected to the same stress as, say, a typical guitar effects pedal. Regardless, this will definitely be able to take a lot of punishment, and repairing something as simple as this would be a cinch if it does happen to get twisted out of shape. In the worst-case scenario, the $30 price tag won't break the bank.In Summation: The JIB/S is a no-frills audio splitter that will do exactly what it needs to do, and perhaps a little more in the right hands. With its simple design, solid construction and low price, this splitter will give you the most bang for your buck... and it now has a permanent-ish place in my rig. At the very least, I'd say it's worth a shot, no?

Works perfectly. I bought two more..

While I was worried about impedance mismatches, this box seems to work well with a radio, mic, and computer.

I needed three stereo equally balanced mixer main outputs without needing to replace my 'TSR jack cables to TSR jack cables' in my other TSR patch panel. I wanted to replace a number of individually balanced signal doublers. At first, I could only find them with XRL connections but finally, I found these 'one to four' jack boxes and bought two of them for my balanced stereo needs. Still, two outputs are free since this box has one TSR input and four TSRs out. Great stuff!

Only has one imput, but it has many outputs.I definitely recommend this product. There's no sound dropping nor buzzing noises very quiet, and stereo sounds definitely coming out through the outputs.

Great little gear to use to do the job i made this into a leslie interface for a 11 pin 4 channel system had to do some mods and added the 11 pin connector and along with the arts 4 channel i got what i needed i just plug the inter face to the back of the leslie and 1/4 cables from the interface to the arts and it was quick and easy now it is plug and play without the 11 pin cord greattttttttt.

The info says, "balanced TRS inputs and outputs provide maximum isolation." I am using these to create an effects pedal board for my bass pedals. The plan is to hook up the pedals in parallel rather than in series. There seems to be some leakage from one input channel to another, and the pedals are not isolated as much as I would like. The EBS pedals work fairly well together, but the ZOOM pedal caused uncontrollable feedback. (See photo.)

This item does exactly what it’s supposed to do, which is splitting an audio signals output 4 ways. I purchased this unit to be able to output into 4 different monitors from my interface. Considering there is only 1 input, the unit can not differentiate between what’s left and right, so panning is not possible. I caution anyone looking to buy this unit for the same purpose as me. I would recommend an entirely different unit altogether, or an interface that has 4 outputs.
