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.
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.

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.
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.
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 –...
To set up for MIDI use, simply connect your MIDI controller to your Y- Not’s MIDI In jack. The Y-Not is set for MIDI Channel 1 by default. Either make sure your MIDI controller is set up to transmit commands on Channel 1, or use the Y-Not’s setup mode to change which MIDI...
A and B outputs on Bank Selection The Y-Not can store programs in MIDI banks 0 and 1, for a total of 256 programs. Continuous Controller #0 (Bank MSB) is used to select the current MIDI bank. Bank numbers above bank 1 are ignored.
LEDs flash. The Switch buttons will now allow you to select the MIDI channel the Y-Not responds to. The Y-Not is set by default to send and receive on MIDI Channel 1. To change the send/receive channel:...
You can use the B button to enable MIDI bank select. If the B button is lit, the Y-Not will respond to MIDI bank select (CC#0, values 0 and 1 only). If the B button is not lit, the Y-Not will ignore MIDI bank select messages.
Y-Not. Solution: Your signal needs to be buffered. Press the Buffer button on the front of the Y-Not, and you’ll be sounding good once again. Problem: When running into an amp with two inputs, the signal level drops when I turn on both the A and B output.
