1 Bass 2 amps & 2 cabs

[mrn1989]

Ive got a gig tonight and fancy running my bass into 2 small rigs just for curiosity but I haven't got an A/B/Y pedal but have lots of bits laying around is it as simple as making 1 mono jack connected to 2 mono jacks?

I will invest in a proper switcher but Im impatient but don't think of things tim the last minute

Any help appreciated

An even quicker solution is to connect the effects-out from the main amp to the effects-return on the other. This assumes the slave amp has a master volume control after the effects return.

There is no guarantee the speakers will be in phase with any of this. I suppose there is a small chance of an earth/ground loop with either solution.

I believe the sends on both amps are post eq and I'm tryin to get it so I can have 2 different eq settings bully Sheehan style.

You are right then; you need a splitter. I have not had an effects send that has not been post EQ.

If you have a tuner such as the Boss TU2 that works. Only downside is when you switch the tuner on it only mutes one amp.

I tried that with a fender tuner I have but for some reason one of the outputs was quieter than the other, must be something wrong with it.
