I have a Nashville 400 and a Fender Twin knock off. I use a Pro Fex II. I'd like to run the amps in stereo but I'm not too sure of myself as far as stringin' this mess together. Any and ALL advice welcome. I just don't wanna' blow something up and so, I turn to you, the forumites for direction.
Thanks in advance.

Robbie...I do something similar to what you're talking about. I love the "complexity" you get when you blend two different type amps from the stereo-out jacks like on your Pro-Fex. I personally like it better than true stereo w/matching speakers and dual channel power amps.
I'd probably try running the line that goes to the NV400 into to the "power amp in" jack in the back. Youre not gonna blow anything up. Just start with the volume on the amps and profex set low & work your way up. |

I'm not familiar with the Pro Fex. But if it has one input jack and 2 outputs, all you need do is connect the ourputs of the profex to the input jacks on the amps. I'd put the unit after the volume pedal.
If the Profex has a stereo delay, us can use this to balance the volume of the 2 amps. Of it does not, you can get a lttle delay unit and put it on one of the lines from the profex to one of the amps. If you do this, set it at 100% wet. The other amp of course will be 100% dry, thus achieveing true stereo between the delayed and undelayed amps. |

Thanks guys. I've always been a little intimated by wires. Or should I say, the fear of crossing wires and doing some real damage. Hey Mike, I believe that the ProFex has a stereo delay effect. However, I also has a separate Arion Stereo Delay. Maybe I should hook that up before the ProFex? Any and all suggestions welcome.
Also, the amp that I described a "Fender Twin Knockoff" is a Rogue. It's a 100 watts with two 12 inch speakers. It's a solid state. I'll tell ya', for $200 bucks brand new, it really sounds good. Just thought I'd mention that in case ya'll were looking for a hard working, good sounding, reasonably priced second amp.

Here's the scoop. I ran the line from the pedal, to the ProFex input, 2 lines out of the back as Mike suggested one for each amp. It sounds great! Much bigger, fatter sound. I have a few Fair gigs comeing up. I've always found that the sound sort of disappears at these big outdoor gigs. I'm hoping this will help a little.
