Something's not right here.  I think there's either a setting on the JB3 that's wrong or something's wrong with the JB3. 

I wonder if anyone would let me borrow theirs to find out? 

I'm just so frustrated at this point, it's unbelieveable.  Dropping this much money to have something not work, sucks.

Post on Team NY and see if anyone lives near you.  They may be willing to meet and help...

And don't get frustrated.  I'm sure its something really simple.  And if it is not, and you have a defective piece of gear, you can send it back for a refund/exchange.

No big deal...

Here is another idea. If you have a computer, you can run the 1/8 out of your transformers into the line in of the 'puter and check the input with sound recorder or cdwav.

We have all been through it -- hang in there.

I know a taper in Roch-cha-cha, I'll ask him if he'll look at it. I know there's other tapers up there... like what Terry said, you could post a help message on the upstate tapers team board and see if anyone can help 'ya out this week.

I'd help 'ya out personally, but I won't be up in you neighborhood untill Dec. 2 for the Vic Wooten show.

Yep, I'd rather see Vic myself tho... it's been 5 years since I rolled for a Vic Solo show.

Don't sweat the gear problems, things will get straighten out.

I think he might.  Just guessing.

What program can I use to monitor the levels running it into my computer?

[Digital Quality]

You can just use the 'puter speakers to test it out - on low low levels - watch out for nasty pops or feedback. Better yet use headphones. You can make a computer recording with "sound recorder" but you'll also need this here eventually: http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/ It doesn't show each channel but you can make a little ambient recording of yer stereo or tv.

OK, so this means

1)  you have tested iPod 1/8" out > JB3 1/8" in with no problems - both channels work.
2) Tested with (2) 1/4"TRS > 1/8TRS > JB3 1/8" in with only Left channel
3) Reversed (2) 1/4" TRS > 1/8"TRS > JB3 1/8" in with only Left channel.

Is this correct???

If so, I believe the cable is not seating correctly in the 1/8" input on the JB3 and you are sending both signals into Left and nothing into Right.

Terry

if you are using the same exact cable for the ipod > JB3 as you are using for the (2) 1/4 > JB3 then it has to be the 1/4>1/8 adaptor
if you reversed it and got the same results that even further confirms my thoughts
i posted in team upstate for you, but if you have not seen it
i am not from rochester but there are a few who are
if none of them can meet you i would test it for you if you sent it to me, i can tell you in 30 sec if it records on both channels or not
but you seem to know that already based on the ipod test

so actually if you sent me the adaptor that would confirm

I went back to page one and I'm looking at your transformers. There is probably not going to be enough gain to use the computer line in -- may want to try mic in.

Edit: What does your "Y" cable look like? Is it possible that it may actually be wired as a split on one channel and maybe you are using it backwards? (I've done this before going into a mixer    )
