Dual guitar adapter cable

[Matt Wildman]

Hey everybody! Me and two other buddies are playing “Lost” by A7X for our schools talent show and I’m beyond excited. One of my friends doesn’t have an amp with the right effects to play the song so I’m planning on buying an Ampridge dual guitar cable so that he can plug in and play out of either my amp or my friends amp. I have never messed with cables like these before and i just wanted to know what i was getting into before I buy it. If any of you have had problems using dual guitar cables for two people to play out of one amp I would love to know. Thanks

I am not sure this would work how you hope it would with a distorted signal, if you’re thinking that two guitars could play through the same amp at the same time. I could be wrong, I’ve never tried it, but in my logic brain part, the amp will hear the two different signals as only one signal, and will simply distort it, even though it’s technically two signals. Mush.

I don’t know either, I hope it does but I’m not going to buy it unless it’s going to actually work

The only way I see it working is if the amp is on the clean channel and gain/effects come from pedals – different pedals in the signal for each guitar, separately, before this adapter.

That’s the thing, we arent going to be using pedals. All the effects are programmed into the amps. My friend may just have to buy his own amp if that’s the case

It’s not that expensive. You could try it, and send it back if it doesn’t do what you need it to.

I’ve tried this before with my 6505+ and it didn’t work, the amp didn’t output either of the guitars.

Good to know, thanks Brandon!
