This topic has been discussed on the old forum a few times.
Running two amps into a stereo cab (or 2 2x12's) is the easiest way to do it. You would plug your guitar into an a/b/y switch, running cable to both amps.
But, to run both amps into a single mono cab is just a wee bit more difficult. You'd need a switch that can put a load on the silenced amplifier while running signal from the other amplifier to the cab.
I don't know who makes a pedal like that...
It would most likely be a custom job. An expensive one at that.Last edited by KoreanGuitarMan; 03-12-2004, 01:40 AM."Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so." ~ Ford Prefect

The only way I can think of would be to have both amps connected to the cab at once, then use a AB switch between guitar and amp to change the signal path. Of course, you'd have to have a mixer betwen the amp and cab which could tolerate the power of two amps' output... fat chance!
You'll just have to get yourself a speaker simulator.Gibson Les Paul w/ Seths. Strung with EB 12's

What amps? What Cabinet? It might just be easier (or better) to add another cabinet, and then ad an A/B box to switch between them"So you will never have to listen to Surf music again" James Marshall Hendrix

still. having 2 heads stacked on top of 2 - 2X12 would look cool, even cooler with 4X12's, but some short ppl wouldnt be able to plug in and adjust if need be the top head possibly...Godin SDXT - 59-ClassicStack-JB
