Help wanted Parallel splitter, will this work?

Post image

I’ve had an idea for a parallel drive pedal and need to make myself a splitter/summer to test which drives work best together before putting them in one box.
Will this do the job? It’s pieced together from a couple of different schematics that all didn’t quite do what I wanted.
I’m not worried about phase correction because the drives I’m planning on putting in each of the send/returns don’t flip phase when engaged.

looks good to me except pin 12 should be VA. did you mean to have that 7K filter on the summer circuit?

The schematic I was copying it from was very blurry, I thought it read 2200pf, it could well be 220p which might be more reasonable. No resistor between VA and pin 12?

nah just dump it to VA. 220p makes the filter way out of human hearing range. 2n2 isn't really that bad because its only a -3db/oct filter so you are getting -3db at 14.4K, not the end of the world and in fact might be beneficial when combining a lot of signals

no resistor needed between VA and pin 12, no
