its not a 'wire', its a cable. big difference. a cables cross-sectional area is what determines how much voltage it can store. whenever you just turn your amp off, all the voltage that was in the cable stays there. its acts as a 'bridge' for the next time you turn your amp on. if it werent for that stored voltage, there would be a lag in sound the next time you turned your amp on and strummed your guitar. think of it like a garden hose. an empty hose creates a delay between the time you turn on the faucet and when the water actually comes out the end. dude, this isnt rocket science.

Exactly, and basically this one input, 4 output box you are making is like the sprinkler system on a hose. Now what happens if you apply too much pressure to a sprinkler system? Everyone gets wet. If there's not enough pressure, then your grass will die. Therefore you need to make sure you have exactly the right balance of jigowatts. That being 1.21.

In fact, if there's too much pressure in the hose, the sprinkler system obviously can't force it all out, and there could be a blowback in the tap, causing your guitar to explode. Because as we know, water and electricity don't mix.

The solution to this is to make sure you earth yourself. You can do this by detaching one end of one of the guitar strings, and putting it down your pants. You will then need to make sure that the string is perfectly in tune, or just won't work. Electricity is like that. Everything needs to oscillate at a specific frequency for things to work. This is all the more pertinent with 4 outputs, as an improperly tuned guitar could cause your amp to explode or possibly be confiscated by local authorities.

Once all these factors have been taken into account and verified as safe you should be able to accomplish what you want to do. Otherwise you may be struck by lightning as a result of sunspots. Hopefully I haven't left anything out, but knowing me i'm pretty sure i probably have.

So to reitorate, you need to make sure the water is running from the tap, so to speak, at 88kb per second.
 
I addition to this, after doing a little research, I have heard from a guy I know that a man named L. Ron Hubbard beleives that windmilling at the correct speed (88 cycles per second) could significantly improve results.
 
lmao u guys make me look stupid .......... jigowatt scale....delorean....lmfao
and then the cable thing that was harsh

who's laughing here?

this is serious shit that can happen once you get into using multiple outputs. i said before that there were a lot of technicalities....
 
how come no body makes these?(i would buy like 3 or 4 if they did )
boxes what r they called any way like spliter boxes?

ok dickwad, thats enough!

we explained all the technicality of the situation, cant you see why nobody makes them! its too frickin hard!

why the hell would you buy 3 or 4??

lay it on im' Tragik :D :D
 
shit, just tonight at my bands rehearsal space, my guitarist blew his roland jazz-chorus up because he tried to run it into an ampeg 4x12 cab. he didnt check the polarity, plugged it in, hit one note, and KABLAMMO! i took his splitter box home with me, checked the inputs, and sure enough - he was way outside the 1.21 jigowatt safety cushion. i was like 'hello, mcfly! you gotta check this shit." you live you learn.
 
yeah that shit happens when you're not careful.

the only thing worse is when there's no voltage drop in the cable, and you plug the bitch in and everything fries.

well thats what i had originally suspected, but his cable was up to snuff.
 
yeah those frickin cables..

Greg L, does L stand for "Lobotomizer!"
 
Am I on your ignore list?

Cool.

Then you can ignore this picture I found of you.

You guys are all seriously off base. What this dude really needs to do is let some of the smoke out of his amps.

Procedure:
1. Build the appropriate number of 1/4 inch shorting plugs
2. Insert one into the speaker output of each amplifier
3. Wire all the amplifier inputs together
4. Turn on all the amps, set all controls to maximum
5. Plug in guitar, all controls maximized
6. Strike "A" power chord and hold until smoke is observed exiting amplifiers
























It's a joke.
