I have a question that I've been wondering about. I see the custom 4 head unit that Webb made for the Opry, but only 1 speaker cabinet. How do they switch heads going to the speaker? Do they just move the speaker cable from head to head, or do they have some special switching device to do it?

Yes there are four separate heads in one cabinet. You plug into one and set you personal settings and that one will drive the speaker.

It's 4 preamp stages and one power amp/speaker all in one box.

Mike. I forgot to ask that question. That's one of the things I was wondering about. Thanks for the answer.

Is there 4 reverb springs?

I'm not sure about that, but I doubt it. Probably only one reverb that's shared by all preamps....at least that's what I be thinkin".

I actually played the Ryman 2 times in the 70's. Back then, I vividly remember plugging into a box in the floor. No remembrance of any amp. RP

Here are a few shots of the Webb Opry Box unit. I took these in March of 2019.
