OT: How do I hook my bass to 2 different amps simultaneously?

[Aragorn35016]

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help. Im using a SWR SM-900 and a 4 ohm Goliath III cabinet. I also have a Super redhead. How do I split the signal from my sterling to both amps? I want to set the eq on one different from the other. I tried to run from my super redheads unbalanced out to the active input on the sm-900 and it seems to work if I turn the XLR pad on full and the line/direct switch to direct. Is this right way to do this? Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks

John

you get a a/b switcher and have both channels on at the same time. this would also allow you to turn one signal off leaving you with just one amp. morley makes an a/b switcher for like 30 i think. but so do many other people. thats how i would do it.

I keep reading about "crossovers"... any idea what that is?

from what i knwo its when a signal processor of some sort seperates the original signal into two different signals. a high signal and a low signal. the low is bass frequenct oriented. the high is higher frequency oriented. it obviously sperates the two signals, but not like how aragon wants to do it. a crossover would be more for like people who want to drive a speaker cabinent and something like a horn from the same power amp, but control each one independently. look at the gallien/kruger amps. alot of the mhave crossovers. some of the swr's do to i think.

Try a stereo Rickenbacker.

get a cord with 1Male > 2Females... plug the Male into amp "A".. run a cord to your instrument from 1 of the females, and run a cord from the other female to the instrument input on amp "B"..i've used one with good results... cheap too.

or plug into one amp "A", then run a cord from the effects "send" of amp "A" to the instrument input on amp "B"... done that too, works well and all you need is an extra cord.

I love 2 different tones simultaniously.. the best.
