Can you plug 2 Instruments into 1 amp?
12 Answers. Plugging two guitars into a guitar amplifier that is designed for one guitar at a time, can be done – but it’s not recommended for reasons suggested in other answers. You can find many guitar amps billed as “two channel” amps, but many of these are still intended to amplify only one guitar at a time.
Can I replace a 1 amp fuse with a 2 amp fuse?
Do not replace a blown fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating. The fuse has a specific amperage rating because it is intended to be the weak link in the circuit to protect the electrical components.
What happens if I put a bigger fuse in my amp?
If you replace a fuse with a higher amp one it will work but create an unsafe circuit. It could cause a failure of the device burn it up, start a fire. The fuse is designed as a safety device. It should not only be the correct amperage but also the correct voltage and fast or slow blow.
How do you hook up two guitars to one amp?
The Ampridge GA101 adaptor cable allows you to connect two guitars into one 1/4 inch phone jack input on your instrument amplifier. This adapter will work with passive or active pickups found in most guitars as well as basses.
Can you plug two guitars into a Twin Reverb?
Yes it can be done. But: the DR has reverb on only one channel, so one player has to do without. And there’s no separation between the two guitar sounds, so it’s a challenge for each player to hear him/herself.
What happens if you use too big of a fuse?
If you use a fuse with the wrong amperage, the fuse won’t blow as intended, damaging the circuit and resulting in a much larger repair bill. Rather than risk blowing the circuit, take the car to a repair shop to determine what is causing the fuse to repeatedly blow.
Can I replace a 2 amp fuse with a 3 amp fuse?
3 Amp should be okay. The main purpose of the fuse is to prevent burning wires. Radio Shack has the fuse in a higher voltage rating, but it won’t cause a problem.
What happens if fuse is too big?
When a large wire is used, it enables a large current to pass through and damage the devices in the circuit with a limited current rating. That is why it is also quite unsafe to use larger wires with the fuse. Moreover, oversize fuses are dangerous and should be replaced with the right size.
Why do some guitar amps have 2 inputs?
The #2 input is useful if you like to use pedals instead of your amp for gain/od. Also useful if you want a somewhat lower and presumably quieter signal through the preamp stages. What’s even more interesting than this though is Fender wired the inputs in such a way that if BOTH are used the attenuation is bypassed.
Why does a 1A fuse need to be replaced?
The 1A fuse blew for a reason and it was designed to protect your amp from meltdown. A 2A “might” still protect your amp depending on how the circuit was designed. It might not. If you like the amp and want it to continue working for a long time, get the OEM rated fuse. It may protect you but probably not the amp.
Can a two channel guitar amp be used with an electric guitar?
Most of these true two channel/two preamp combos are billed as “acoustic” amps but are fully capable of amplifying any electric guitar. They just won’t have the “dirty” distortion/overdrive effect that an electric guitar amp might have, but you can use a distortion pedal to get that effect if desired.
Can a guitar amp be used as a distortion pedal?
They just won’t have the “dirty” distortion/overdrive effect that an electric guitar amp might have, but you can use a distortion pedal to get that effect if desired. If you choose this solution, be sure the amp has two instrument inputs.
