trying to split the signal

I wanted heavy crunch without losing seperation in the notes. So, I bought some Y phone jacks. One side goes from the guitar and the other goes into my J-Station. Then, both go into a 2nd Y and into the sound card. The result is an interesting, although not very musical, screeching feedback. Each side seems to do okay on it's own. It's only when I try to mix them that I have the problem.
Is there some way that this will work?
:confused:
 
A guitar only sends one signal, it is a mono source (except in some cases such as a Parker Fly or BB King Lucille). You would need an AB box that would actually split the mono signal and send it to multiple sources, go from the box to your j-station and to the soundcard from that. You would run A/B together.

I have only one input on my sound card. Is there no way to mix the singles before the sound card?
 
A TRS cable that goes from 2 mono sources to 1 stereo jack would work for you there. The soundcard reads the input as Left and Right being 1 and 2. Not every cable will work. I'm not a custom cabling expert, but there are others here who are.

Yeah it's pretty easy.....Go to radio shack if you don't know how to make the cable yourself. They sell an "airplane stereo adapter" On airplanes, their sound system is 2 1/8 inch mono jacks so that you have to purchase their headphones (which comply with that setup) Its supposed to let you use normal headphones.

Just turns a stereo mini plug into two mono mini plugs.
