How to connect pre-amp to amp?

[SgtD]

Any suggestions on how to connect these two together properly would be great thanks.
They are,an Ampeg Svt-bsp pre amp and a Genz benz shuttle max 9.2

I take it the genz is single channel?

If so you can connect either the clean or the overdrive channel of the bsp to the poweramp in socket on the genz.

You should also be able to run the overdrive channel on the bsp back through the clean fx loop on the bsp.

The Genz is twin channel,tube and fet. Been running the pre amp through the effects loop,clean to the tube and overdrive to the fet but I'm getting quite a bit of white noise and what sounds like an earthing problem but this does not happen when I connect only one channel at a time. I'll try the preamp out to the power amp in and see what happens but that is in the master section of the effects loop which feeds the signal to both the tube and fet at the same time. How do I go about running the overdrive channel on the bsp back through the clean effects loop on the bsp?

Thanks for reply

Never seen the back of a power amp link that... A more usual set would be a poweramp in and a preamp out. I'd just try each and see that sounds best. If you think there's an earthing issue, get that sorted.

Regarding the bsp, isn't there a blend control anyway?

The clean output is marked mix.

If you've got two cabs, is it worth trying using both channels? One clean, one overdriven?
