2 x OBC810 ----》》 2 x AD200??

Post by gasserx » Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:10 pm

I own two OBC 810 cabs. Will i be able to chain two AD200 (connected to one cab each)? Or will i need other amps, or "worst case" - a two-channel power amp with some kind of pre-amp.
I need to blow out some windows :mrgreen:

If you run a stereo or ABY pedal you can run into both amps at once, connected to one cab each.

There is a Slave Out on the AD200 however no Power Amp IN so if you wanted to use one as the primary and the other as a slave you may be better off with a single AD200 and a 200 watt Tube Poweramp to match it. Something like the Matamp Green Slave Unit:

Otherwise a solid state power amp would do fine as well. As the owner of a single OBC810 and AD200 I think you are crazy... awesome, but crazy :mrgreen:

Before you go nuts, try just running the head through both cabs. I don't think there's ever going to be a need for a second amp except for show and as a backup.

I dont think thats possible..
Speaker output on the AD200 is either 1 x 4ohm, 1 x 8ohm, or 2 x 8ohm.
OBC810 is 4ohm.
Im already nuts :mrgreen:

I found the answer - use an Amp Detonator pedal.
Makes it possible to switch between amps or run both together.

ROCK ON!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You could also get a series box and run both cabs with one head as this will give you an 8ohm load.
