Thanks for the replies. Just tried it. It sounds great clean with my Jag but not tried overdrive yet. They're good speakers though so it might sound good on overdrive. It's got 12" Celestion Sidewinders in but I'm not sure about the tweeters and the 6".

you probably can:

this assumes the impedence matches:

however guitar speakers and PA speakers do NOT sound the same IT probably will sound pretty bland. Guitar speakers tend to distort in ways that favor guitar sound. PA speakers are essentially hi fi.

It's got 3 speaker outputs - 4Ω 8Ω and Ω16. I think mine are 8.
It sounds great at low volume - not bland at all.

You can, at home levels.
Acoustic clean sound will be fantastic; distortion will be buzzy as a beehive in a 50 gallon drum.
If you have a tweeter level control turn it down to "0" or as low as possible or tape 2 or 3 layers of thick cardboard over it.

I do have a tweeter volume but it's on my stereo amp, so I'll be bypassing that anyway and just using the guitar amp-head and one PA speaker. The guitar amp has only one tone pot. There doesn't seem to be anything coming out of the tweeter anyway, even when I'm playing up the neck. Still works with my mp3s and cds though - crystal clear hi-hats.

I don't know what's going on there. If anyone knows why, I'd be interested to know.

Thanks again,

Dan

Does anyone know if I can link my amp head directly to one of my P.A speakers? I'm unsure because it's actually 3 speakers in one cab (bass, mid, tweeter) , not 1 speaker like you would have with a normal guitar cab. Would I do any damage to it? And would it sound alright?

I've not got a proper cab for it yet, so was just wondering if I can do this until I get one.

And I don't mean for a gig - that would be silly. Just for practising at home.

Thanks.

Cheers man. So are those Belton 'build-it-yourself' pedals OK? Would it pop when I switch it and are they quite easy to put together. I've done soldering before but not much. I think I'll order one of those.

The TT is an excellent amp but does not lend itself to add a useful effects loop because all its distortion happens at its end, they overdrive the phase inverter, signal there is dozens of volts, too high for any effect.
Sorry.

Thanks for your comment. I'll just have to get a reverb pedal then. Holy Grail or something like that.

But does what you just said mean I can't use effects with it at all? Can I not go from guitar to effects amp? Or will that still overdrive the PI?

Sorry for my newbie questions. I've been playing guitar for 15 years, but I've never had a good amp before, so I just want to get the best sound I can out of it.

Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, I'm brand new here. Just hoping someone could answer a few questions about my amps.

I've just bought an Orange Tiny Terror head but it doesn't come with any reverb, and doesn't have an effects loop.  I've also got a Peavey Bandit amp from the 80s which has a really nice spring reverb, and I was hoping there would be some way to take the reverb tank out of the Peavey amp, and link it up to my new TT. Or would I be able to turn it into some sort of head that sit's on top of my amp? And how difficult would that be?
I only know very little about electronics.

If that's not possible, what's my best option for getting a good spring reverb sound through an amp that doesn't have a built in tank?

Thanks,

Dan
