Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Almada,

Yes you can connect two pedals, and there are a few
ways to accomplish it.  
Option one is to use a cable that combines two mono
signals into one mono plug, commonly called a Y cable,
or a splitter.  With this option you can connect both
pedals to the same trigger input on the DTXpress. 
This works best when both triggers have the same
output level, or can be adjusted to be similar.  One
thing to be aware of, with this method both pedals
will sound exactly the same.
The second option  is to connect each pedal to its own
input.  Since most pedals are mono signals, the best
way to connect these to a DTXpress is to use inputs
9/10, which are the only mono inputs available on the
DTXpress.  Here again you will need to use an adapter
cable, and it may be called a Y cable or splitter
again, but this time you need to combine the two mono
signals (one from each pedal) into a stereo plug, so
that one pedals signal is on the right channel and the
other is on the left channel.  When this stereo signal
is plugged into input 9/10, the signal on one channel
will be input 9 and the other will be input 10.  This
also gives you the ability to vary the sounds of the
two pedals, for example fading one pedal to the left
and one to the right.
Inputs 1 - 8 on the DTXpress are stereo inputs, and
the only way to get two sounds from them is to use a
pad (like the TP80S or PCY80S) which has stereo
triggers.  
For more of an explaination on stereo triggers versus
dual triggers, look at post number 1597 in this group.
 I hope this helps.  Walt
