I want to make an instrument amp with a 2 channel amp board that I have, that will drive two speakers.
I would like to have a single 1/4 jack input, that can accept either:
1) a mono 1/4 jack cable, in which case, the signal gets duplicated to both channels
2) a stereo 1/4 jack cable, in which case, each channel
Is there a way to wire a 1/4-stereo female connector that can do this ?
I know it can be done with 2 seperate 1/4 inputs (one stereo and one mono), and a switch, but it would be nice if it could be done without a switch, and just a 1/4 stereo jack input.

I managed to answer my question after a bit of research.
There is no way to do it without a switch, but fortunately, there are jacks connector with build in switches that will do what I want :

So I get to avoid having a switch, but at the cost of having two connectors.
