Sign in to disble this ad
just an idea that occured to me earlier today about an ashdown combo with extra cab and if anyone places their effects in the line between the top combo and the bottom extra cab. im my mind that would allow you to blend efffects with non efects easily by say placing my OD pedal in the line between the top and bottom i could fuzz the bottom 4x10 while leaving the top 1x15 clean.
is there anything i should know or think about before trying this? not gonna kill me cab is it?

It's an easy way to start an electrical fire if you run it long enough. And it'll make your room smell awful as the PCBs burn.
