2 Amps 1 Cab - Posibility?

[guitarguru777]

So I am working on my live rig and wondering how to go about doing something like this.......

Peavey 5150 & Peavey Valveking

Use the 5150 for highgain and lead tones
Use the VK for cleans and crunch

Im thinking .....

Guitar - Wha - TS9 - AB Box

Channel A - VK - (Loop Out) Chorus - Delay (Loop In)- Out to ????
Channel B - 5150 (Loop Out) Delay (Loop In)- Out to???

Yes 2 different delay pedals

From here is the tricky part, either find a way to load the loop out of the VK to the 5150 which defeats the purpose I think as the 5150s arent very clean

I am not sure of there is some kind of switcher out there that can handle a Live load from a tube amp and allow you to switch.

Any suggestions / ideas?

I believe if your cab has a stereo option, it splits down the center at 16 ohms each. I could be dead wrong though.

Nope its a Vintage Marshall (Late 1960s) so its only got a single input.

Switch 2 heads using one speaker cabinet
Slingshot™ remote control with any footswitch
Digital micro-controlled relays for failsafe switching

Choice of direct or buffered input
Models for tube amps (VT), solid-state (SS) or both (TS)

The Radial Headbone is an advanced amplifier switching device that allows two different guitar amp heads to be used with a single speaker cabinet. With the Headbone, one head could be used for rhythm while a second head could be used for soloing. With 100% discreet Class-A circuitry and choice of either buffered or un-buffered inputs, the Headbone will be of particular interest for players that demand the utmost in tonal performance.

The Headbone's internal switching comprises a sequence of relays, photocells, and load resistors, all of which are controlled via a digitally programmed chip. Hit the footswitch and the Headbone toggles the guitar signal from one amp to the other, disconnects the speaker and diverts the signal to a load resister, reconnects the speaker to the second head and turns on the guitar, all in quick succession. The Headbone features SafeMode™ whereby even when power is disconnected; the Headbone will automatically default to 'head-1 to cabinet' status, ensuring a constant load on the amplifier.

Headbone comes equipped with Slingshot™, an easy-to-use switching system that uses any standard footswitch to toggle the Headbone's status remotely, from wherever the footswitch is located. Slingshot lets you keep the amp-to-speaker cables short and efficient and opens up new switching possibilities too.

The Headbone is available in 3 models: The VT for two valve/tube heads, the SS for two solid-state heads and the TS for tube to solid-state amp head switching.

Headbone – another Radial 'power tool' for serious guitarists.
