Mixing channels

[jimmy]

Can someone please explain what this does?
I'm talking about an amp with 4 inputs like a 'plexi' or something like that.
What happens when you mix the channels with a patch cable?
What is the point of that?

Any help would be great.

Rock on.

Re: Mixing channels

When you jumper the two channels together you end up with two preamps feeding the same power amp. It adds quite a bit of gain and pushes the power amp harder. With some amps one channel can be quite a bit brighter than the other and mixing the channels rounds out the tone.

Thanks for the info, Robert.

It's the only way to fly with old Marshalls, you can dial in a big fat sound that way.
