hey all, im trying to use my cosmichorus in stereo to two amps and im havin trouble. Im getting signal fine, but it seems weak, Im using heavy amp gain on amp A and less gain on amp B. Amp A has NO balls, sounds like the gain and volume are turned down a whole bunch vs plugged straight in. Is this just the way it is or am I doing something wrong?

Im using one of these to add stereo effect from other pedals, into a second splitter out (one to each amp)

Try a buffer or clean boost after the split?

^I'm a little confused as to what exactly you mean here.
Pics? Details of the signal chain?

It looks like you've got the right adapter cable...is tsf the same thing as ts?

I'm just guessing, but maybe the phases of your two signals are getting messed up. Maybe try switching the inputs around??

I bet you just don't have the cables clicked together perfectly, I bet one just needs a little touch to make it sit just right.

To make sure it's nothing funny in your signal chain or that cheapie splitter (no offense I use those too), unplug everything except the Cosmi and just use a normal cable and just test the two sides separately by plugging in all the way to test the left side, then pulling back one click to test the right side. There's no phase games or any tricks, it's a super simple setup and works very normally.. but all the TRS connections have to be perfect or you'll get a weakness. I betcha you just need a small fiddling to make things sit poifectly.

ill do some fiddling and get back to you, with a signal chain too. Thanks guys.

The amps might be out of phase.

OK well I did a ton of fiddling and ITs much better. there is still some signal loss but I think its mostly due to having so many pedals lol

I pulled the in jack out one click and now both amps are going. using a maxon od 808 to boost the main amp back to the right gain level and its cool for now. thanks guys.

Right on, TJ, I saw your board in the pedalboard thread and it's awesome!

I think I thought you were doing a stereo in and out setup, probably would have been a lot of help from the get-go to have suggested pulling the input cable out one click for mono in stereo out.. sorry about that!

No problem! TO be honest it was SUPPOSED to be a stereo in, but somethings not quite working properly/connected right haha SO for now ill run it that way until I figure it out, thanks for the help. And im glad you dig the board, the cosmichorus is what made the tri amp setup possible!
