I have a fender Champ 12 from the 90s.
It has a stereo headphone 1/4 inch out plus a 1 volt 1/4inch line out. no external speaker out...
I have a marshall 1922 2x12 cabinet that is currently wired to 16 ohm and has a mono and stereo input.

Is there any way to use these or create a external speaker out to hook up the marshal cab?

Why? Cause the bass flops out pretty quick...the sound is pretty cool but not much bottom end?

thx...

The Champ 12 is a single-ended design and requires an 8-ohm load for optimum performance. If your Marshall cab can be configured for that impedance then wiring the two of them together should be a snap.

Neither of those outputs jacks can be used to drive a speaker directly without modification.
