    Adding a speaker to a 1x8 combo amp

    I've never heard of anyone doing this and am wondering if it is even possible: Is it possible to add a speaker to a combo amp while keeping the same preamp. To be more specific, I want convert my Hartke B30 1x8 combo to a 2x12 combo. I have the means and materials to build a whole new enclosure...

    update: i changed the battery with one fresh out of the box. I made sure all the connections were nice and secure. Still the same problem. Now im officially out of ideas other than wiring the AP switch how you have it

    Seymour Duncan STC-2S-BO troubleshooting

    Has anyone installed a 2 band active eq like the SD blackouts or of any sort. I'm curious. I'm not considering putting in a preamp, but I like the idea of it.

    Modtone XL bass preamp dud?

    So I just got the mt-xl bass preamp off a deal on reverb. I plugged in into my amp and put all the EQs flat and turned each one to here the changes in tone. To my surprise, the entire 3 band eq was doing virtually nothing. The compressor worked fine but the preamp just didn't do its thing. The...
