cable splitter question

[elkabyle]

If I want to connect headphones direct to the axe-fx, is this the cable I need in order to get stereo:

2 X 3.5mm Male to 1 x Female Stereo jack splitter cable: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

No. It doesn't look right. Your gonna want 1/8" mono male ends. Ones that look like a guitar cable.

I'm not sure, but you might just need an adapter if the outputs are stereo jacks.



Something like this

Thanks for that!

The ones above will not work unless you want dual mono output to your headphones.
You do need a Y-patch but it has to be stereo since you do not want to split one side into both. What you need is a stereo patch that is Left and right TR (1/4") males ending with a 3.5mm female stereo. It might be easier to make one.

Would this one be ok?

it's Stereo Mini Female to 2x 1/4" Mono Male Y-Cable

Sorry, your link takes me to what appears to be B&H's home page.

What you need will depend on the size of the plug on your headphones. If your headphones have a 1/4" plug, then you'll need one end of the cable to have a 1/4" stereo jack. If your 'phones have a 1/8" plug, then that end will have to be a 1/8" stereo jack.

The other end of the plug, as hussamd said, should be two 1/4" mono plugs.

Yes sorry, link fixed:
Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Female to 2 1/4" Mono YMP-434
Well my headphones have both (1/8 + 1/4 adapter) so there shouldn't be any issue.
I'm still waiting for my axe-fx to be shipped anyway. Still at the "This order is pending review" stage.

That one should do the trick.
