What if you want to drive three EG's?? :)
The trouble with Y-cables is that most are cheap consumer quality (eg.
Hosa, Radio Shack) There isn't much of a pro market for such cables
because few people want to mult unbalanced outs using a cable with all of
the grounds tied. Besides, they look too much like insert cables.
Check out the MOTM 910. Unlike a Y-cable you can go from a 2-way mult to a
3-way without repatching. Cleverly cascaded with switched jacks, you can
set it up in numerous combinations. This way you only need to keep one
type of cable next to your modular. I like those cable holders that screw
into standard rack rails.
Btw, is OK to use this list for non-MOTM FS messages?? This weekend I
finished tearing down my studio, and now have a number of things to sell
before I put together a new setup in the Spring.
So now I have a pile of disconnected cable that could fill a bathtub (not
for sale). Good thing I used TRS patchbays and started building a modular
that uses 1/4" jacks, or I'd be able to fill another bathtub with TT,
banana, and weird adapter cables.
All things considered, even when ignoring the elegance and added
capability, you'll save space, time, and money, by choosing the 910 over a
pile of otherwise useless Y-cables.
