I have a NV 112 and a Fender Frontman 212. Got a brainstorm to connect the two for 'stereo' sound???
The NV 112 manuel is not too helpful in this respect.
Does anybody know how one might do this????
Tried several different ways w/one cable and 2 cables with no luck. I get a buzzing sound. Anyhow
thought I'd ask????
Thanks, Dan

The buzzing may just be a ground loop. Do you get the sound of the guitar from both amps? Does your volume pedal have 2 output jacks, although I think a "Y" chord should work? If so, try a chord from each, although that won't take care of ground loop problems. For that you will need to get what is called a Hum-X. Any music store/online music store should have them. You plug the power chord of one amp into it and plug it into the power source, and the other amp directly into the power source. I found this to be the best remedy for the ground loop hum. It safely lifts the ground on that amp and breaks the ground loop.

Hey, Richard
Thanks for the come-back. Dummy here didn't think about plugging into my pedal. Yes, it does have two plugins for amps. However, I had one amp plugged into the wall and one amp plugged into an outlet strip. That's when I had the buzz. Ran both out my pedal and into the same outlet strip and it worked just fine.........Thanks for jarring the gray matter in my head..............Dan
