Folks,

i've got a question that's likely best-suited for this site, but I've got issues posting pictures here, so I posted it to the Gibson site as well (with pics). Link to pic:

I've got an old Fender Bronco solid-state with a nice upgraded speaker (8 ohms), and I've got a monster Hughes & Kettner 12" speaker cab with the Celestion classics (16 ohms). I connected the cab to the amp and the amp the the CC that you see in the picture, and it was pure heavenly bliss; however, when I turned the "fat" switch on, I lost the sound from the amp and only had the sound from the H&K cab. Upon unplugging the cab, I was back to the Fender without an issue. Upon replugging, It was merely the H&K all over again. My question, of course, is how do I get them both to sound at the same time (they did when I first plugged them in, so I assume there's got to be a trick).

In the meantime, I'm very much enjoying the little baby Bronco (which was monstrously bad before I put a little Weber alnico in it) through the H&K cab, because it sounds like I got the most massive upgrade you can ever imagine on that little POS. But again, if anyone's got a trick to get them both to play together, I'd appreciate it. I do have a second H&K cab, if that helps to straighten out the whole "ohm" issue (if that is, at all, the issue).


I appreciate your help,

Alrighty then...


I found the manual on the Fender website and indeed... Once you plug another speaker in, the one on the Bronco goes dead and gives way to the cab. Given how incredibly sweet the little Bronco sounds when played through the Celestions on the H&K cab, I think it's definitely going to stay that way.

Thanks for your views and your interest regardless.

Glad that you've found your answer jojo712, welcome to the Forum. I too use an extension cab with a combo amp and it does boost the sound level coming from the rig.

Those little Broncos (as well as the vintage Champs, Vibrochamps, Princetons, etc) sound positively monstrous through a man-sized set of speakers.
