Sign in to disble this ad
Hi. Im a total newbie. I have a very sweet sounding 70's USA made Ampeg combo. Its 120 watts, but just wondering if I can plug external speakers into it, there are outputs in the back. Just want to be able to compete with the guitarists Marshall. Thanks for any feedback.

If any of those "inputs" are actually an output that says "speaker" then yes, you can.

Thanks. Is it ridiculous to do this? Whats your opinion? There are 2 outputs for "ext. amp" 600 ohm

NO- you need a jack that says "SPEAKER OUT"- nothing else. If you don't have that, you can't do it.

Its going to be louder on its own then running it with another cab... you are splitting the power from the amp when running another cab. get a higher powered set up if you want to to compete with a guitarist or just tell him to turn down.
