I just learned how to use the EQ PATCH on
my nashville 400 from Jack Stoner and Joe H.
I have a peavy bandit 112 would it make sense
to try and use it along with the 400?If I
could use it that would be great,it's sittin
over in the corner lookin rejected now that
I have the 400.
Thanks to everyone for the help i have received here on this forum,it's great!!!

I used two amps, splitting the signal with a TC Electronics stereo chorus. It really gave a spatial, fat sound with the chorus engaged. After a while I tired of the chorus effect, and went back to a single amp. The two amps help fatten and disperse the sound if you are willing to put up with the extra equipment hassle factor. I like a 2-12 amp along with a 1-15.

I don't believe you can use two amps that way and still use the 3 cord hookup at the same time.

Hi Wayne. I sometimes split my signal w/ an RV-3 between my LTD 400 & the normal channel of my Deluxe reverb(the reverb channel for 6 string)It sounded great-unfortunately I don't,but thats another story.Anyway,you can split 2 amps w/ any stereo processor.It's certainly worth a try.Two things to look out for-it's esential that the speakers fire in unison(there's a tech term for this that I forget) Basically,if it sounds bad switch the speaker wires on one of the amps.Also,if you have to mike up in a large venue soundmen will often roll their eyes heavenward and only mike one of your amps in which case you will sound like #%**.Some preamps have a stereo feed that can circumvent this,but it's something to be aware of.You might also run into some grounding problems but thats usually an easy fix.Those two particlar amps may or may not like each other but it's certainly worth a try.It's a great sound.Hope this helps.

Rich - Do you mean "in phase" with each other?
