Default I have a doubt with ABY Box

Hello

I have a question about to connect 1 input to 2 outputs on live. I want to connect my acoustic guitar to 2 outputs.

I just bought this ABY Box:

http://www.palmer-germany.com/mi/en/...rger-PCABM.htm

but, I think I was wrong. Is this only for Guitar Amplifiers?

My guitar sounds good with this the signal is divided into two channels but I'm worried about series or paralell (I do not understand about the ohms). Could I break the guitar preamp? Is a fishman...

Thank you!

This is for sending the signal from an amplifier to two passive speaker cabinets. That's not to say it won't split your signal to two inputs, but there are possibly better tools designed specifically for your purpose. Tell us a little more about what you are trying to accomplish in splitting your signal, and we'll recommend the right tool.

Thank you Louis!

I'm trying this:

I want to know if it is possible to use Palmer Merger without broken my guitar pickup.

You're not going to break anything using that Palmer splitter, but it's designed for a different task. The choice between parallel and series wiring is irrelevant to you (it has to do with how one might wish to manage the impedance of a set of passive speaker cabinets connected to a single power amp).

For your purposes on stage, you might want to consider something like this:

https://www.thomann.de/intl/morley_aby.htm

It will split your signal the way you want and let you switch between the two signal chains with a foot switch (it will also mix them if you need them at the same time). The Morley is just one of many of these sorts of switches out there, so shop around for one in your budget.

One thing I'll add, however, is to make sure your pickup signal is correctly matched to your mixer inputs. If the pickup is active (that is, if it has its own preamp powered by a battery), you're probably fine, but you'll want to keep your cables as short as you can. If your pickup is passive, you'll also be fine if the mixer has high impedance inputs on the channels you use (again with short cables). If you don't have either of these, depending on the pickup you have, or if you need to run longer cables, you should consider a two channel DI box to convert the signals coming out of your switch to low impedance, mic level so you can use XLR cables and go into the mic inputs on the mixer.
