AMP question

[mkdominatr]

I have 2 amps, can i play out of both of them at the same time? or do i need some kind of splitter cable?

You have stereo output on your RP2000.

get a simple y-split cable and take it from the output of the rp200 into both of the amps. alotta fun with the panner and pingpong delay effects!

You don't even need the Y-cable. Just connect one amp to the left output and one to the right output. Now you can play in stereo. The chorus and ping pong delays sound amazing when you get two amps going.

I forgot to mention that you can get a Y-cable for cheap if you want to just split a mono sound. It a bit cheaper option than the amp selector up above (they're only like $10). I actually use them to run parallel delays. It's cheap enough that you could get one just to mess around with.

well the rp200a that i have only has 1 output, and the manual says that a y-split cable would work

Do you have a RP200A or RP2000? There's a world of difference between the two.

Which one is better?

I have the RP200A , so i will look for the split cable. i thought there was one just wasnt sure. thanks for the help.

I think the RP2000 is better. It has an expression pedal and 6 foot pedals as opposed to the 2 foot pedals and expression pedal on the 200A. But the 2000 sucks so not really a big deal.

EDIT - I just noticed that all those posts for patches were for the 200 not the 2000. Apparently I can't read. Ha! I was wondering why the order of settings and some other stuff was a bit off. Also I think there might be some settings that you can't adjust on the 200A.

Y-cables are a recipe for trouble.

Instead, spend the money and get yourself a true splitter box, with transformer isolated, buffered outputs.

Y-cables will lead to signal loss, and excessive noise - especially ground loops. In some instances, it can even damage one or BOTH of your amps.

These companies make good splitters:

Axess - Electronics. com = makers of the BS-2 ( an increasingly popular unit)

Radialeng. com = Radial engineering, makers of the Switchbone.

TRUST ME, you do not want a cheap y-cable...yes, you may save now if you get one, but be prepared to deal with major headaches and even MORE money later. Do it right the first time and you'll never have to do it again...get a real SPLITTER!!!!
