I have just purchased a G-Dec 3 30 amp (Adelaide South Australia June 2011) and although it has the 2 left and right line out jacks on the back there is definitely not another speaker out jack on the back of the amp.

I have a fender Bandmaster and a Fender Stage 112 SE amp and I would like to be able to port the Band to one of these. I can see in the Utility setup where I can direct the Band only to the line out jacks no problem.

However what is not clear is which line out I should use. The left one or the right one or Y jack the both into the input of one of the external amps. The instructions and available manuals are not very clear at all as to the "Do's and Don'ts" in this regard.

Should the line out jacks be ported to the input of an external amp? It is not clear anywhere in the instructions I have to hand. Should the line out jacks only be connected to external speaker boxes?? If so what Fender speaker cabinets would be suitable for this? Should the line out jacks be connected to only one external cabinet with a Y connector or should there be 2 external cabinets, one for the left and one for the right line out jacks?

I am considering getting one of the Jazzmaster Ultralight combo amps for my Jazzmaster guitar. Would this be a better setup for what I want to do?

I do not want to damage the pre-amps in one of the external amps so would appreciate some advice on the foregoing and how the G-Dec 3 30 amp should be setup to achieve the desired outcomes.

I would like to be able to port the "Band only" out to one of the external amps and use a guitar through the G-Dec 3 30 amp.

The line out will not work as a speaker out, not enough to drive speakers. The line out is intended for sending to a pa, powered speaker or effects loop of a guitar amp. I think if you send it to the input of a guitar you might overdrive the preamp and clip the signal. You can try that, just have the volume turned way down on the other amp and gradually increase the volume to the level you want. Set up the other amp for as clean as you can. otherwise you will combine overdrive from the Gdec and the other amp and mostlikely not sound very good.
