Y Cord

[shredmonster]

So I am looking at a Y cord by Horizon with 2 female connectors and one a male.

I am meeting a friend out of town this summer and he is bringing his practice amp and we both are bringing guitars.

Does anyone know if you can use a Y cord to connect 2 guitars into the same input of an amp?

Re: Y Cord

Yes you can, but the volume on each guitar will turn the other one off as well...

Re: Y Cord

basically if you both play the same chords one guitar will cancel the other out.

Re: Y Cord

Can he play chords while I solo?

Re: Y Cord

My first instructor used to use this setup in the lesson room he was in. Basicly, two things happen:

1) The volume knob on one guitar will effect the other as well.
2) The tonal properties of both instruments will blend together into one hybrid tone. I remember bringing in my LP, and wondering why it sounded so thin. Meanwhile, my instructor's RG sounded beefier than it ever had!
