[sdiy] Will patching delay pedal to feedback ruin it?

Oohhh your bad...  :^P

Connecting outputs together DIRECTLY can cause them to be destroyed.

You are relying on the desingers of the equipment (outputs) to have done a
good job at protecting the circuits by current limiting or series resistance.

If one output tries to go HIGH while another tries to go low... the lower
impedance
output will usually 'win' and the higher impedance might be so heavily loaded
that it
will DIE.

Make your Y-cables with maybe a 10K series resistor in each 'hot' lead. This
will limit
the current and form a passive mixer... you will get a little loss but prlly
you can turn the
input UP a little bit to compensate.

If you have been doing this, without damage... you have lucked out so far...

You can use a Y to send one output to two inputs.
