rickosound problem

[rictified]

Reviving an old thread rather than creating a new one...

If the Rick-o-Sound is just a simple stereo output, then the individual pickups should technically give the same output as when using a mono cable in the regular output jack, no? I ask this because I discovered that when I plug a regular guitar cable into the ROS output jack, I'm getting a significantly higher output than I do in the other jack. This is strange because I've confirmed that only the bridge pickup is engaged (until I pull it out halfway, of course, and engage the neck pickup.) Check out these readings:

Regular (mono) output
-Bridge: 10.1k
-Neck: 8.6k
-Combined: 8.6k

ROS output
-Bridge: 19.4k

Does this make sense?

Try to pick up a ric-o-sound box and a cord somewhere or make a stereo to double mono cord and plug it into two amps or into two channels of an older amp that has two channels. See if it works right, if it does then you are screwing something up by plugging a mono cord into a stereo jack.
