How can I connect Trace Elliot AH600-12 Head with trace elliot vr400 (tube power amp) and what variants (of linking) exist for these amps? Thanks! Best regards!

Alex Miller Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 ok, thanks Spyder, next a bit silly question is is it ok if i connect 2 cabinets respectively to AH600 and VR400 and these cabinets are of different resistance?

Alex Miller Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 no sound goes to vr400 from ah600 this way thru either left or right line outputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimike Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Might be a good idea to just take it in stages. 1 ,That VR400 amp is unusual, only has line in, and line out, plus speaker connections. Check that it works by plugging in speaker, and use a pedal ( something like a Sansamp ) to get enough signal from your bass to make sure it works. Never run this amp without speaker connected. 2, The ah600 is a dual channel amp, needs speakers connected to both channels. try it with your bass , as normal. Personally, I would not run that amp without speakers , JIC. 3, Then , when both are working, I would try to link them. My memory of the AH600 is vague ( although I could look at mine tomoz ), but I seem to remember there were various options to get a signal out, DI out, line out and effects loop. take a pic of the back of your amp, let's see what the possibilities are for you. Mind you, if you get all that working, you could play the 02 arena, Edited November 29, 2020 by Chimike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Make sure that the tube amp ALWAYS has a load connected when in operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
