Do they make such a cable ??

Just ordered another. I went with the PigHog only because I've seen a couple of there cords and at least they look like a quality build so I feel good reading @TalismanRich comment !!! I'll be sure to check back here with the results.

Checked their website yesterday..."splashy" super busy site and not straightforward to navigate so I blew them out. Proper, "professional" suppliers make their websites clear and simple and quick to know.

I also suspect they claim their cables "sound better" than the competition which is Russ Andrews bllx.

No, the 1/4 ends don't need to be TRS.
There's no advantage or benefit, for your use, and it's more opportunities for the manufacturer to wire it some way other than what you need.

If you refer back to my pinout, it really is pretty simple.
Your TRS, in our case stereo, end has three conductors...That'll be two insulated wires and a shield/screen. Ground, Left and Right.

You want to break that to 2 X TS which each have one insulated wire and a shield/screen...Ground and signal.
So you'll end up with 1/4" Ground and Left, and 1/4" Ground and Right.

You mentioned being good with an iron but needing a schematic.
There's no schematic. ^ That's it.

You could probably make one in 2 minutes from a pair of broken headphones and a guitar lead,
or maybe even cut and rewire the cable you bought.

You might want to check your existing cable with an output from a different device,
I have had instances where smartphones or mp3 players acted weird despite the correct cable and wiring.

"

But, FFS! A stereo 3.5mm plug and two TS or TRS 1/4" plugs? There are not that many permutations and dealing with headphone outputs and inputs, even if there is a short no harm.

IF! The OP does want a stereo splitter I can do him a schematic in the next hour.

OP just wants left to input 1 and right to input 2.
Here's a visualisation.
