+1 on simple "Y" cord. I use one on my vocal mic, and have pin one lifted on one split. I carry a 6" male/female xlr with pin lifted for the very rare situation where I have an issue with the unlifted split.

As if you need it,I'd +1 on the "Y" split, try it, if there is a problem, lift pin 1 and if that doesn't work, buy a cheap transformed mic split as a last resort.

Sounds to me as if the OP is using an amp with an xlr, or 1/4" out that has a speaker emulated ( or perhaps not ? ) output. Many guitarists these days are taking the modern approach of using modeling amps to create a large range of tones. Some use a split to send sound to FOH and to a monitor of their own in order to keep levels down. If it is in fact a send from the amp he would need some way to isolate both sides if an issue does arise.

Here are the facts.

OP has:

An AMP with some form of sound output for FOH use.

Needs to split between FOH and a " personal monitor ".

Will not be micing the guitar amp.

Being a guitarist myself ( as well as a sound company owner ) I would bet that the OP needs to split sound from the AMP/MODELER ( can be both in the same box ) to get sound where he needs it. To me that should be a Y at the amp/modeler and a DI used for the send to FOH. I would use a lower priced Di for the monitor side too if noise becomes introduced on both sides.

Here are the facts.

OP has:  A Radial JDX

Edited for practicality.

Ah yes, reading back on the original post I see that the output is FROM the JDX DI. Still seems to me that a simple Y will not be enough in 100% of the situations, even if one side of the Y is pin 1 lifted. So in this case a Y could be used to split the signal, but some sort of isolation from the source may be desired for buzz free operation if problems arise on one side, or the other. This may be a need for an xlr isolation block.

Such as:



They are reasonably priced at $44 on amazon....
