2 amps /1 cabinet

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.

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! :haha:

You'll just have to get yourself a speaker simulator. :)
 
There is a rackmount type setup you can get that switches between i think up to like 6 amps, its a tad expensive but it looks cool , i cant remember the name brand or site it is though but someone makes em thats for sure..
 
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
 
U guys didnt read my post....Their is a rackmount tyep switch that can do this, it takes the load of a speaker so its completly safe for the amp...but unfortynatly i cant remember any info on it nor the site.....but wait a while and im sure someone will know....
 
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...

I'm sure your post wasn't missed. Your solution just isn't practical in this case.
 
Re: 2 amps /1 cabinet

You know I take back what I said about the Weber. I'll go for either the Radial head switcher or the Axess. The good thing about the Radial is that it has a buffered input so no sigal loss there the Axess seems to be very well constructed....I am in the same situation. I called Radial 2 weeks ago and asked them about the product, because I have only 1 attenuator to be used with 2 different heads......It seems like the Radial is the best choice.......I might get one this week.....
