Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Pete,

I can help with the general questions - but the ones
about where to get these in the UK are beyond what I
can help you with.

You should be able to take what I call a  cable and
connect the two pedals together so they go to the same
input.  

This is a pretty basic cable - one that combines the
two mono pedals into one mono plug that goes inot the
DTXpress.  In techie terms, a mono cable has two wires
in it - one called the tip and one called the ring. 
This Y cable takes the tip wires from two plugs and
combines it to one tip on the third plug, then does
the same with the ring wires. 

Does that help?
