Members Bloodsoaked Posted April 15, 2007 Members Share Posted April 15, 2007 How would I connect my new Crate GX-130C Head into my Marshall MG Series 250DFX combo??? I want to use the 2x12 speakers as the cab for the Crate head. From what I can tell the Crate has 2 outputs (stereo). Would I use a Y cable from the crate to the (mono) FX return or since the Marshall is a stereo amp would I just use 2 cables from the crate to the marshall and go into both the left and right returns? Also, would I use any of the effects on the Marshall including the volume or would I just use the crate for volume and effects? Any and all advice would be great in this matter. I also have the following Boss pedals that I used with the marshall but I do not think I will need all when using the Creat head. Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Pedal Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer Pedal Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal From most of the post I have read I should get rid of the metal zone and use the EQ in the loop. Any other sugestions for the other 2 pedals? Also, anyone that uses this head for death metal please let me know your settings and what channel you use. I just got the head. Also, what kind of 4x12 cab is going to work best with the Crate Head? I see people talking about GT-75's or Celestion G12H speakers? What is the best for Death Metal? This head is also a stereo head so would I want to get a stereo cab (2 inputs)? Oh yeah.....what is the deal with the different ohm's? Thank you, Peter__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted April 15, 2007 Members Share Posted April 15, 2007 Its ultra simple, but certainly not the way you suggested. Yikes. Disconnect the speaker leads from the amp and then wire a 1/4" jack to the speakers. There you have it. Get your speaker cable and you are live.
