That could work for sure. Hmmmm.... :?: Now to find the $3000 for an SLO100 hahaha

So this would not happen for a long time (unless I came across loads of money out of nowhere) but it would be awesome to run my rocker 30 with a soldano slo100 at the same time, into the same cab. I don't want to do a stereo cab, because micing then becomes an issue. And I want to be able to run both heads at once. I was looking at the Radial Tonebone VT, but it just switches between the 2.

Anyways, it would take me a long time to get that setup, but I think it would sound sick.

Anyone know of a way to do it/a pedal or something to do it?
Axess Electronic use to have a Head Spliter thing I think it was called the "HS-2". They dont make it anymore but I use to own one. You would plug you both heads into the unit and run a trs cable up to your pedal board and you could use the footswitch to change between the two different heads. it was pretty awesome.

if micing and "not enough channels on the mixer" is a problem try to get something like this:

put both mics in it and give the "premixed" signal to the soundguy...

stereoing the cab is the only way if you want also using both amps at the same time instead of only switching between them...

Once again, there is a world of difference between a unit that switches between heads - an A/B with dummy load, which several companies make, including the radial units - and something that allows you to run two amps SIMULTANEOUSLY into one cab, which is what the original poster is asking for.
