Just got a new Blues Jr amp and am wishing to connect it up to my '96 Fender GE 112 external cabinet so that i can play through both internal and externals speakers at same time. Proper direction would be greatly appreciated.
many thanx.

This is not a good idea. I wanted to do the same thing and in fact tried it out with a splitter. It did sound good.

I had heard conflicting advice on whether or not it was safe to do this, so I posted a question to Billm http://billmaudio.com/wp/ who is well known for his knowledge on all aspects of the BJ plus his numerous modifications.

To paraphrase his answer: you can do it if you do not play loud, and don't do it frequently. Otherwise, a mod should be done....i.e. a new output transformer.

So the question of How loud is too loud, and How often is too frequently made me stop the practice after only one trial.

Many thanx for the response, RVM lead. Good to know. I was going to write to BillM, but you saved me a stamp. Time for a mod, i guess.
cheers.
