Greg_L said: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.
