4001 1974 - Need help, stereo output jacks

Post by lcormier »

The 4001 had 2 output jacks to play with 2 amplis.

I use 2 mono jacks and....there is no sound.

Do I have to use stereo jacks ?

Luc: You need to have a stereo splitter cord (a stereo cord with one stereo jack that splits to two mono jacks). Plug the stereo jack into the rick-o-sound hole and then the two mono plugs go, one each, into your two amplifiers or two separate channels of the same amplifier. Voila!
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I have the RIC'O'SOUND kit but, when I use it, both the amps become very noisy...

Just checking, if I plug a mono lead into the ROS jack of my 4003 (with nothing plugged into the standard), I'll only hear the bridge pickup, correct?

Yes Mark, this is correct he said with a Fireglo face. I know because I have absent-mindedly done this on more occasions that I care to admit.

Every time I get my hands on a Ric with the "Ric-o-sound" I rewire it to have 2 mono outputs ... much more functional ... plus every time I get a used ric the "Ric-o-sound" is usually malfunctioning ... I have no desire to plug a stero jack into a bass guitar ... I like mono outputs and then I can use a quality cable like monster or something ...
