Question re stereo output

I was at a friend's last night and was eager to try out the famed stereo output on my 360. Plugged into two amps and there was nothing. It worked fine in the standard output but as soon as that second cord went in, there was nothing. Am I missing something?

I believe you have to have the "Rick-o-sound" unit, which is essentially a splitter with outputs to your two amps.... You're not supposed to plug in your guitar's standard output jack and Rick-o-sound jack at the same time.

Yikes! Ignorance kills. I thought about the "Rick-o-sound" unit, and I've heard it discussed on this forum, but I thought it was some kind of conversion unit for a mono output guitar. My guitar seems to play fine still. I hope I haven't hurt it!

No, you haven't hurt it! The Ric-O-Sound output jack is a stereo jack, and the Standard jack is mono.

If you use a Rick-O-Sound unit with the Rick-O-Sound jack, it will send the neck pickup to one output and the bridge pickup to the other.

If you use a regular guitar cable in the Rick-O-Sound jack, it will only play one of the pickups (on my 4003's, it plays the bridge pickup).

It's not meant to have cords plugged into both jacks simultaneously, but I doubt you did any damage in trying that.
