Members Fenderman1991 Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 So I've heard that it's possible to gap the bridge between channels. On my Twin, that'd mean plugging from the vibrato input into the normal one, and then into the normal one with my guitar....What exactly does this do?? What are the pros/cons? Is it dangerous?

Members monkeyland Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 doesn't work well on a twin. there is an extra gain stage which puts the channels out of phase. it works great on any non-reverb fender however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my old Pro Reverb, and my neighbor's Super, bridging those channels resulted in the ability to turn the reverb up very high, but blend in that channel low in the mix. Play with it, you might discover some sounds that work well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frankieb14 Posted March 23, 2008 Members Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Fender Bassman heads in the 60's/70's are known for that common method of channel bridging. Also, old Marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members monkeyland Posted March 23, 2008 Members Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thats a plus, any risk to the amp? no risk to the amp. just go from the "2" jack on one channel to one of the jacks on the other channel and then mix and match all the knobs to taste. endless possibilities. and like was said before, the fact that the two channels on the reverb amps are out of phase could be a plus. now here's where it gets interesting if you want to try something else. unplug the reverb return from the back of the amp and use an RCA/phone plug adapter to connect that wire to the normal channel on the front of the amp. plug your guitar into the reverb channel. what this does is brings the reverb back in to the amp through the normal channel and lets you use the EQ on that channel to shape the reverb. this can be really cool too and absolutely gives you more control over the reverb resulting in some really different sounds.
