Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Y-Not. This product is designed to
provide all of the features you need to switch one audio signal to two
audio outputs, while being able to address the common problems
that can occur in a two-amp system. The Y-Not features a high-
quality buffer, a phase inversion switch and an isolation transformer
all in a compact package.
The Y-Not can be controlled by its front panel switches, by an
external footswitch, or by an external MIDI controller, making it
adaptable to virtually any situation.
In this revision of the Y-Not, some features have been added. The first
is MIDI controlled phase inversion on the B output. This comes in
handy if you are using two channel switching amps at the same time.
Different channel combinations will have different phase
relationships, and the ability to switch phase will insure that each
combination sounds good.
There is also now a TRS Inswitch. This switch is designed to work
specifically with electric guitars that have piezo pickups. These
guitars typically send both signals over one TRS (tip-ring-sleeve)
cable. Pressing the TRS In switch will allow the Y-Not to use both
signals, sending the tip to the A output and the ring to the B output.
With this arrangement, you can use the Y-Not to select whether your
magnetic or piezo signal is active, and send the signals to separate
amps.

Front Panel
Buffer – When this button is in, the input signal will go through a
high-quality audio buffer. A buffer lowers the impedance of the input
signal, making it “stronger” and preventing it from losing treble or
signal level when splitting the signal to two outputs. When this
button is out, the buffer is disconnected from the signal path.
If you find your signal sounds dull or muted, try engaging the buffer.
Unless your signal is already buffered, you will likely want to use the
buffer when using the Iso B button or if the B output is inverted (see
below).
Iso B – When this button is pressed in, it inserts an isolation
transformer in front of the B output. The isolation transformer breaks
ground loops between the two amps. Ground loops are a common
occurrence when using more than one amp, and you can tell you
have a ground loop if you hear an unusually large amount of hum or
buzz from your amps. Pressing the Iso B button should break the
ground loop and eliminate the hum.
TRS In – Pressing this button switches the input jack to accept a TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) or stereo input. When engaged, the signal from the
input tip conductor will only be sent to the A output, and the signal
from the ring conductor will only be sent to the B output. This is
typically used for electric guitars with piezo pickups – each pickup’s
3
signal can be sent to a different amp, and can be turned on and off
independently.
A – This button turns the A output on and off. When this button is lit,
the A output is on. When this button is not lit, the A output is off
(shorted to ground).
B – This button turns the B output on and off, and also inverts the B
output. Pressing the button cycles through three states:
Red – The B output is on and is not inverted.
Orange – The B output is on and is inverted. In this mode,
the signal should be buffered. Otherwise, it may sound dull.
Off – The B output is turned off (shorted to ground).
Write – When held down for 3 seconds, this button saves the current
switch state to non-volatile memory. This function is not active until
a Program Change message is received at the MIDI In jack. See the
MIDI Usage section for more details.
The Write button is always lit up with a green LED to indicate that the
Y-Not is powered on.

Back Panel
Power – This unit requires a 9 volt DC power supply (center negative
polarity). The plug should be a 5.5mm/2.1mm barrel connector,
similar to those used in most effects pedals. The Y-Not requires a
minimum 100mA of current.
MIDI In – Jack for incoming MIDI commands. Connect your MIDI foot
controller or other MIDI device here.
Switch – You can connect a two-button footswitch or other external
switching device to this jack. The tip conductor of this jack turns the
B output on when shorted to ground, and the A output on when not
shorted to ground. The ring conductor, when shorted to ground,
turns on both the A and B outputs simultaneously. This switch jack
does not change the state of the B output’s phase.
Input – Connect your input signal (guitar or other audio signal) here.
A– This is the first (A) output from the Y-Not, controlled by the A
switch on the front panel.
B– This is the second (B) output from the Y-Not, controlled by the B
switch on the front panel.

Phase Inversion
Any time two amps are used together, it’s important to insure that
the phase of the two amplifiers is correct. The phase relationship of
the amps depends on the position of each amp and their individual
design.
If the two amps are out of phase with each other, you may hear
phase cancellations, resulting in poor tone or diminished volume
levels. Inverting the phase of one amp will fix the phase cancellations
and create a more desirable sound.
Phase can also be an issue when using the Y-Not to connect to two
different inputs of the same amp. Certain amps have a phase
inversion between the two inputs, making it impossible to run both
inputs at once – unless you have a way to invert the phase of one
signal. If you’re running the Y-Not with a two input amp and notice a
volume decrease when running both inputs simultaneously, try
inverting the B output - it should resolve the problem.
