hartke 3500 and lh 500

is there any way to use both my amps in my set up the ha3500 for the 210 hartke cabinet and the lh 500 for a peavey 15 black widow bottom so I could have a volume control for each cabinet ?

Yes, use either a buffered AB/Y splitter, or a stereo fx pedal.

Or, use the FX send of one amp into the FX return of the other. The amp that you're using the FX send from is your master amp. Plug into it and use its tone controls. I believe the master volume is after the FX return so you could control the second amp's volume there, but only have to deal with one set of EQ and pre-gain settings.

If you use both amps seperately your only getting half the output from each. Why not just use the LH500 with both cabs so you get the full 500 watts from one amp.

Wouldn't make a dimes worth of difference in this case as each cab will be getting plenty of power from each amps 8ohm capabilities.
