One thing I've been meaning to do is start utilizing the speakers and cabinetry of my combo amps, using a different head to power them.
On some combos the speakers are hardwired to their chassis, but on the type that feature their own 1/4" male plug the lead is usually too short to reach up to a head.
I think I'll buy a 1/4" female/female coupler at Radio Shack for a few bucks.
That way, I can plug any size speaker cable into a combo's speakers with the coupler between them.
Has anyone here tried this, or do it regularly?
My Bogner XTC has cabinet assigning, so I can run 2 dirty channels into a Celestion 412, while assigning just the cleans to the speakers in my Matchless or Fender Pro Reverb. Or, I can dial up the best Vox tones in my Valvetronix head and feed them into either of those combos so it sounds more authentic.
