4001 1974 - Need help, stereo output jacks

lcormier · Post by **lcormier** » Fri Jan 11, 2002 8:16 am

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!

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 ...
