Origin 20 goes to the dark side

[Thatbastarddon]

I don't know if you saw my edit. I don't want to make this complicated and I certainly don't want any reliably issues.

Yeah…a stereo jack doesn’t make sense to me. I’d either want to run a head into the pair, or two heads - one into each speaker.
My switch solution works, but feels ghostly…in the event of a short, there would be bad things.
My 3 jack solution works, allows perfect isolation for running two heads(stereo), and solid confirmation for mono use.

….further….
The 3 jack solution works for using one speaker at a time….for example….auditioning potential combinations of speakers. It gives the ability to run each one, solo, in the cab.

I've already done that the hard way only to figure out that I don't like mixing speakers. There's always some weird frequency or something that shouldn't be there in the sound that screws with my ears. I have the same issue with running 2 cabs (stacked) with the same amp, I don't have that issue running 2 amps with different speakers...I think that's weird. I'm hoping running 2 amps into the same cab will be different, but even if it's not it will be cool to have the option of switching between 2 different speakers with the same amp without having to have a separate cab.

I took one of my Marshall mono 4 x 12 cabinets and installed a switch so I could run two amps on one cabinet

But can you run one amp to "either" speaker, or is it one or both?

It's mono or stereo Left or right

I had one of those fail internally on me. Almost took out my Laney. Never again. I prefer hard-wire.
Impedance would fluctuate wildly…had to replace it.

Yeah see, that won't work for what I want to do.

I used a channel switcher JX2 PRO guitar signal to Trainwreck Rocket 30 watts cleans Trainwreck Express 35 watts for leads

now just use a pair of combo amps on stage

The one time I went on tour 1986 my Kitty Hawk M1 120 watt amp went down
had to plug straight into the board got my 50 watt Black Flag Marshall air freighted
since then I always have two amps

One advantage I have, or disadvantage depending on how you look at it, is I don't play out. It's just me sitting in my living room/bedroom jammin' all by myself.

Thanks Steve great looking job on your amp bro, that definitely personalized it that’s for sure.

Sweet reno on your amp, dude! Don’t let Marshall see it… they’ll copy your design.

I already posted on the Marshall forum. I doubt they do it to a Vietnammy amp. lol.

Besides, I copied their design. My inspiration was the SC20 stealth. I think mine looks better.

I like yours much better. I definitely prefer my SC in gold. However the Origin turned out really good. Would!

Dang, Dirty Steve... that looks pretty damn good. A stealthy looking amp is like a sexy Black Sheep in a sea of regular looking amps! I think I'm getting horny...

And that right there is the reason why I did it. I like to be different.

...and it's a pretty good feeling knowing you have something no one else on the planet has.
