I want to use the Piezo/Magnetic Splitter for my future BFR F1 to use a stereo cable for it.

The thing I want to know is if someone use the same configuration of wiring cable with another guitar that have only magnetic pickups that used ordinary mono cable? Does it affect the sound? Do you have unwanted noise out of it? Costumer services don't recommand that but I want to know if someone make the experiment.

I don't want to find myself with several cable that each becomes entangled under my feet on the stage.

Your answers will be very helpfull. Thank's

Wow,

When I first read your thread title it sounded as though you worked for EBMM and was trying to find out who the last person was that used the "splitter", cause they didn't put it back. Lol, lol, lol.

Oh well, now I'm anxious for the answer!:)

hey. i use one. very useful little box.

i use it with my loaded JP and with my axis. the axis doesn't have a piezo yet i run my stereo cable into it and i've found there is a tiny buzz comes off it but nothing that would prevent it from being useful.

i'm busy looking into modifying mine with an additional jack so that it will make or break the piezo circuit. that way i can hook it up to a relay in my g-system and automatically switch in & out the piezo as i only ever use it blended with the magnetic in my JP.

Couple of ways-

EB stereo cable into the EB 6190 splitter
EB stereo cable into the EB Stereo/Pan pedal
EB stereo cable into a Fishman stereo Y splitter cable (female TRS to 2 male 1/4"s)
20' Fishman stereo Y cable (male TRS to 2 male 1/4"s)
15' LR Baggs stereo Y cable (male TRS to 2 male 1/4"s)

My personal setup is a TRS cable into a TRS Y cable into 2 EB VP Jrs to control the volume and mix of the mag and piezo. I'm getting ready to switch to a TRS cable into the EB Stereo/Pan pedal to the VP Jrs. I don't change cables when I change to a mag only guitar and there are absolutely no issues.
