Goatkeeper LFO out Question

Post by bronzetalon »

Last time I owned a goatkeeper I remember using a stereo cable to use the goat keepers lfo out to control expression inputs on other pedals. I remember it working before but now I am unsure if it is really safe for the receiving pedal and I don't have cheapie to try it out on. Any advice?

i think that's a bad idea? i remember it being explained to me as an impedance problem, it's getting cut to dangerous levels instead of sent out to both at the correct, safe 'uns.

the Expressionator does that though, up to 3 other devices, and it works with my Goatse fine.

Normal TS cable work for the CV stuff. So it may depend on your receiving device.
Moog, old Boss, Infanem and KOMA work with the TS cables.

i think Y cabling is a bad idea though right?

i'm TOTALLY just repeating stuff from my very faulty memory though.

If I remember correctly, the device(s) must match in terms of the CV. Let's say it's around 5volts - if the other device requires a different control voltage, it's not going to function correctly.

I'm not 100% sure of damage though....
