I have this- it's good but be aware that the more inputs you give it, the softer the total output is. I tried to use a game boy and iphone app feeding into this and it was barely loud enough to be heard while on a plane.

Necroing this thread for a good reason:

Belkin makes a 5-way headphone splitter. You can use an extra male-to-male 3.5mm cable to plug in a second gameboy, iPod, whatever. Some of you probably knew about it, but I thought I'd share.

Haha, they actually said that, wow.

Yeah, although the actual risk of damage is low, it's there. Mostly you'll just have unpredictable results depending on your batteries, how many channels are running on each gameboy, etc etc.

It's possible, by the way, that there's more than just wire inside that cable; but it's unlikely, especially since they're using molded connectors.

So considering the impedance issue mentioned earlier, is this unsafe to use?

I was thinking of getting two of these and summing the L/L and R/R signals of each gameboy, then combining them back into a stereo L/R out. They say it's a combiner, but is zZounds just ignorant to the impedance risks involved with doing something like this?

I haven't ventured much into LSDJ sync, but I decided to try it out today. I've run into an issue, though. When I'm syncing 2 gameboys in live mode, I've found that the slave gameboy plays significantly quieter than normally to the point that it's difficult to hear. Without messing with the volume pot I play it in Master mode and it plays at normal volume. I feel like I'm doing something obviously wrong; anybody have any suggestions?

This over and over.  Changing 8 patterns on the same measure is like a race against time.

Sorry, I don't mean wrong. It's just more organic. I still use my KPs for effects on gameboys. I just like in hardware effects.

Why is the other way... wrong?

Hahahahahaha

Yeah doing reverb/echo/delay effects on the original hardware is much sexier then using a KP or effect generator. I always do this. It just feels. . . right.

Live on both when using the mixer.

OH YEAH! I've been wanting to try that for the longest!

The only track I've ever written on two gameboys was for DMG and GBC, and it used each console's strengths, aside from the GBC's sheer speed.

Samples were all on the GBC side, bass was all on the DMG side, etc etc.

While putting effects on one console is one thing, using the extra channels to do stereo effects is much more classy - you can get nice sweeping pans with some tricky E command work.

This may sound REALLY dumb but when I have to compose on 2xlsdj, I sync with a link cable, then
~ I put on my earphones plugged into the first gameboy
~ I put on my headphones plugged into the second gameboy

No jokes, it works and I find it comfortable
