guitar amp to bass amp
- Thread starter vespa
- Start date
why do you want to do that?!? so that the bass amp acts as a backup!? the bass amp itself has a different spec compared to a guitar amp (I think there's some major differences between the speaker and how they amplifier low or high signals). My friend plugged a bass into a guitar amp, blew the speaker. I don't know if it'll screw up the other way round.

Depends on the amp ..... for Rivera's these are possible.
Above is an image if one amp is run parallel with another. Tone controls on each work separately and independently.
This is an option if you do not wish to use a ABY box to play 2 amps at the same time.
This image is the first amp slaving the 2nd. The tone controls on the 1st amp control all tones. The 2nd amp primarily acts as a powered amplifier i.e. providing greater volume.

Should not be a problem if you watch the volume on the slave amp.
LINE OUT signal level is higher than instrument level. But if plug to active or low input on the slave amp, is still OK.
Actually I heard of one joker who jumper the speaker out of one amp to the instrument input of the other amp....... :evil: :evil:
The outcome you can guess....... :twisted: :twisted:
Cabinet is the box which house the speaker and give resonance (body) to the sound.
The speaker is the component itself which convert electric currents to sound wave.
So they work hand in hand. The speaker by itself (unbaffled or open air) cannot produce much output as the soundwaves on the front and the rear of the cone will largely cancel each other out. The cabinet prevents this and help to support the cone.
Actually when people say cabinet or speaker in the guitar world, most likely they means the same thing (ie. both items together).
