A while back there was a topic posted about using a Y adapter where one could plug one cord into both high gain and low gain inputs and tonal effects. I've searched and can't find the topic. Does anybody remember and if so can you post the link to the topic. I would greatly appreciate that. Or as far as that goes, if anybody has any information or ideas about that feel free to share. Thanks.

I tried that and didn't hear any difference.
There are those that will swear it makes a difference, but electronically all you are doing is turning the input into a padded input like you would use with a high signal device. When you use the second input on a Peavey amp,
But if you want to do it, get a Y adapter that has a female 1/4" jack and two male 1/4" plugs. |

Hi Jack,
I do have an adapter and I do use it, but to be honest with you I too do not hear a difference. Now I will admit that I have probably the worst ear for hearing those kind of subtle tonal changes or differences, but was hoping to find the original posting to try to better understand what the difference was supposed to be. Thanks for your input.

It changes the load, cutting the input Z in half, at least that's how it was explained to me.
It does seem to increase the twang a bit to my ears.

When you use the HIgh Gain (normal) input on a Peavey amp, and set the volume for a certain level and then use the Low Gain it will take increasing the volume controls to get the same volume level. This may account for sounding different.
The same thing when you use both inputs. When both are used, both inputs are automatically set to Low Gain and again the volume controls must be set at a higher level to get the same volume as just using the High Gain input. |

Thanks everybody for your replies. My take on the Peavey amps with dual gain inputs is that the high gain only gives a certain level and when using the low gain only you get half of the amount of the high gain. When using both you get the lower of the the two. In the past I have used the low gain to allow me to use a greater degree of the volume controls because on high gain depending on venue the output was too high. Using the low gain seemed to allow a larger amount of the volume pedal travel before being "too loud", and allows a greater degree of volume control. Does that make sense? According to my ears using the two inputs with the Y adapter gives the same thing as using the low gain only and I have been unable to hear any difference. I posed this question so that I might be able to listen to and discern the difference that others have experienced. Thanks for everybody's input and help.

| Its what I said about the inputs and how they work (and their gain). This is true of most of the Peavey steel amps (and maybe others). I know the Session 500, Nashville 400, Nashville 1000 and Nashville 112 all work the same way. Probably the Session 400's too. |

| LaVerne, I was the one that made the original post, but it has been a few years now. If you do a search under my name in the electronic section, and search far enough back, you should find it. I still have my Y-adapter in my pack a seat, but I don't use it anymore. I don't have a Nashville 112 anymore and at the time, I didn't have a Black Box or a Wet Reverb. Neither was I using a tube amp. So things are a whole new ball game for me now. At the time, I thought it made an improvement as did some others. |

Thank You George, Now I can go back and re-read it and go from there.
Thank You everybody for your responses and information. As I said I was unable to find the original posting now with the information from George I can revisit the conversation.
