Hey all,
So i was considering converting the proprietary 4 pin (protection circuit) speaker cable into a standard 1/4" speaker cable situation and simply shorting the protection pins at all times, so that i can quickly and easily use this amp standalone with other 8 ohm cabs of various sorts.
But then i saw the rear panel 1/4" jack labeled "8 Ohm Ext Speaker". But i can't find the original user manual for the life of me, and the schematic somehow isn't making things clear to me here...
What is the deal with this jack.. I don't want to start plugging things in until i know what's going on.. If i leave the proprietary 4 pin connector pig tail unconnected totally, and hook up a speaker cable to that Ext jack and hook that to an external 8 ohm cab, what will be happening at that point? Will the amp simply run as normal and power the speaker as if it were it's own speaker?
2 questions..
1, does the protection circuit still need to be artificially shorted for this Ext jack to work if the real cab is not connected?
2, is this Ext jack 8 ohms or 16ohms?
Also, does anybody know where to find the original user manual? All i can find is the dang Heritage version just released.
thanks!
