The other guitarist in my band just bought a Marshall Jmp-1 Preamp and a Marshall EL84 20/20 Poweramp.
The poweramp is stereo and only stereo so we have come accross a problem, dispite the shop saying that it was fine to run just one side (left or right) without damaging the amp, the online manual said that both sides must be plugged in, if my guitarist had known this he would have gotten a mono poweramp.
His cabinet is a Peavey 5150 cabinet, 16ohm mono, single jack.
i was wondering how hard it was to convert this into stereo, to have the poweramp powering 2 speakers for each side of the poweramp (like it does through my marshall stereo cab).
I have looked for parts to do this and for guides but i dont really know what im looking for, i assume it needs a new back plate for the cab to make this work?
all i really need to achieve is to make sure that his poweramp isnt gonna blow up on him.
Edit: The cab is rated at 300w, 16ohm mono, has 1 jack input and also what looks like a cannon input, like mic-pa input, i dont know what its for.
The poweramp has a Left and Right outputs (stereo) each with a 16ohm and 8ohm output, stated that only one of them are to be used at once (either 8ohm or 16ohm)
