D'Addario Dual 1/4" Jack Adapter

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A splitter that turns one 1/4" cable into two, or joins two cables into one longer run. Basic signal plumbing for pedalboards and stages.

Product studyD'Addario Dual 1/4" Jack Adapter

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Joining two short instrument cables into one longer run
  • Splitting one output to two amps or two pedals
  • Keeping a spare in a gig bag for cable failures

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players needing isolated, buffered splits without hum or level loss
  • Anyone working with XLR, TRS balanced, or 1/8" connections
  • Situations where a single correct-length cable would be cleaner

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Dual 1/4" jacks

Both ends are female, so it mates two male cable plugs or feeds two cables from one.

Detail 02

Passive design

No battery or power. It splits signal by simple wiring, so each branch loses some level.

Detail 03

Unbalanced 1/4" format

Fits standard instrument, pedal and amp jacks. Not a balanced connection, so long runs pick up noise.

Detail 04

Black finish

Disappears against dark pedalboards and stage floors, which also makes it easy to lose.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Cables are not included. This is only the adapter.
  2. 02Splitting one guitar to two amps can cause hum and volume drop.
  3. 03Adds a connection point that can work loose during a set.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can I use this to make a longer guitar cable?

Yes. Plug a cable into each end to join two runs. Keep total length reasonable, since unbalanced cable picks up more noise the longer it gets.

02Will it split my guitar into two amps?

It will pass signal to two amps, but passively. Expect some volume loss and possible hum. A powered or isolated splitter handles that job better.

03Does it work with balanced TRS cables?

The jacks accept TRS plugs physically, but treat this as an unbalanced connection. Use dedicated balanced adapters for balanced signal paths.

04Is it made of metal?

Construction details beyond the black finish are not something to promise here. Handle it as you would any small adapter and check the fit before a gig.
