RJM Y Not question

[moltenmetalburn]

I just sent payment to another member for one as I bought a lehle that does not fit my application. Now I think it may be a mistake...

I need a splitter that is transformer isolated and also can switch the unit and more importantly the phase via midi.

Does the y not do this? Can i swithc the phase via midi or only vis the pushbutton?


I think i may have purchased yet another switcher that i cant f'n use at all

Ron at RJM has a mod for it. It involves adding a relay to it. If you want Ron at RJM to do it, send him an email about the mod for the Y-not for the midi phase switch to blend 2 amps. He just did one for a customer of mine that needed it to do the same thing.

Thanks very much mike!

Yep it was me! RJM AND FORTIN have incredible customer service! The best in the business as far im concerned

No problem, let me know how it all works out.

Thanks Dan Every time I contact Ron with an issue, he always has a solution. Your mod will most likely get added to the next revision Y-not making it the King of the splitters!

Sweet, Rev. 2 "Dan Mod" I like it....

So I had this done and just received it but now I am confused. Admittedly I have not plugged it in at all yet.

My channel a button is gone now and the phase invert in its place. Did i lose that functionality ?

I am awaiting response from rjm also.

I have one coming too. Ron dubbed it the Y-Negative. It is supposed to be able to write A or B or Y to a Midi PC function and flip the phase inversion with a CC function.

Great i had not planned on using any cc . I Wish Sheri had told me that, or anything for that matter. It stll does not fit my needs.

It also came with no instruction on how to use the modded version at all.

Hell, maybe I am wrong too

I will email Ron and see what it is gonna do. Mine shipped a couple days ago. If you talk to them first, hit me up on PM and let me know what he says. I assume he probably did ours the same. At least I have my old one too.

Will do!

It now works as a buffered splitter with transformer isolation and the PHASE on one output can be toggled via MIDI program changes or CC. So guitar into the RJM Y-Negative, output to 2 amplifier input jacks. If the 2 amps you are using are channel switchers, then you can use the phase switch which does one of the outputs, to bring the two amps back in phase.

If this still doesn't make sense, it would be best to call Ron at RJM and talk to him in directly.

Mine shipped yesterday. Modded as well.
What the hell is "cc"?

It makes sense but i cant toggle a o and off anymore can I? If not its useless to me.

 

[steve_k]

Since I run my amps together and both on all the time, it will be cool for me. I just need good ISO and to be able to toggle the phasing. For general noodling around the house, I used a Lehle P-split. No power required. Don't have to mess with my pedal board or rack then.

i think it essentially substitute the PHASE switch with the possibility to switch A on or off.
to resume: you have the A output ALWAYS on and you can choose via midi to control the B output AND its phase.

correct mike?

I've sent Ron and email with a link to this thread. Hopefully he'll pop in today to set everything straight

i contacted him some days ago to ask the same thing. here's what he said to me:

"Basically, the mod makes the phase invert switch at the same time as the A output. So, you still have A and B outputs, but when you switch the A output, the B output changes phase. This is the reason that I tell people that the A output doesn't work anymore - it's not really useful at that point.

This is the best we could do for a simple mod. To be able to switch A, B and phase inversion on B via MIDI would require a redesign of the circuit."

Right, so it turns into:

A on B off

A+B with set phase

A+B with inverted phase

Toggle A to change phase based on amp B channel changes.
