Hey, just got a question about running a couple amps together?.

Right now I use a Fender' 64' bassman with a 2-12 cab.

Is it possible to use a marshall half stack for my lead channel, while using my fender for clean>?

What would I need to do this?,

Thanks - Sun, 29 Jan 2006 11:06pm

I think you just need an A/B switcher...

If you're trying to use 2 heads with 1 cab, that's a different story - Sun, 29 Jan 2006 11:16pm

Yeah, get an a/b switch(pedal). Run the patchcord from
the guitar to the pedal, then one of the outputs from the pedal to the fender, and the other output to the marshall.
You will need seperate cabs for each amp. Then you can run
either the fender (output a), or the marshall (output b)
or the fender and the marshall toghether (a+b) providing
your using 2 cabs. They range in price from about $30. - $100. If you want to run pedals, run them after the a/b switch. - Sun, 29 Jan 2006 11:25pm

I bought a Apex ABS1 A/B-Y switch for under $40 at L&M about 5 month ago . You can get expensive ones that do more , but it serves its purpose. - Tue, 31 Jan 2006 1:20am
