Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 82: Comfortable with Derision

Ok gents, since my Bassic has two inputs, is it ok for me to have one 8 ohm bass head hooked up to one input, and one 8ohm guitar head hooked up to one of the inputs. Trying to simplify and only have to swap the cord from the last pedal from head input to the other head input. And down the line if I can set up a line splitter and some loopers is it ok to run both at the same time if I don't go over the watts.

Im assuming this is a cab. If the two inputs are separate and independent then you can hook the heads up but if the inputs are connected together then no dont do that.
 
Got a midi controller for my pedal board so I can control moogs and strymon stuff together. No more tap dancing. Everything can be controlled from the bottom row of the board.

if both were tube heads and you had the same output impedance tap you could mix the signals together but the effective output impedance should be halved since the speaker is seeing parallel outputs. Overall its a bit tricky and I would highly recommend against doing this.

Yeah I'm not going to. It's just denial, I need to suck it up that I need both a guitar and a bass rig lol. Or leave enough room that I can swap between the guitar head output cable, and the bass head output cable lol.

DO NOT ATTACH BOTH AMPS!

Only problem is that a tube amp always needs a load on its OT so you cant leave it floating. If you cant satisfy that requirement your swapping idea is no good.
