brokenbones Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Since switching over to dual amps on most of my patches I am eating up the 8 FX blocks. Ditching the mono-summing FX at the end of the chain to free up one more spot. So, to anyone going direct into a mixer, have you noticed any problems with using a Y-cable?

Strat2Die4 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Can you use a simple Y - cable? You will be effective shorting the two channels isnt? I connect only the left XLR output to the mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 You could make a proper passive summer (combiner) with a few resistors. However, you could just buy one and then the output channels would no longer fight with each other... https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Audio-JIBC-XLR-Combiner/dp/B00079OUNM/ref=asc_df_B00079OUNM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312199306469&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3736067693555883922&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1015249&hvtargid=pla-569224398202&psc=1 However, you could put a dummer plug in one of the 1/4 main outs and force the summation internally. That affects the headphones and the XLRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
