External Speakers

[homerecorder2000]

my little fender champion 110 amp, has an external speaker outlet on the front of it.

just want to know what i can use this for, i know it sounds obvious, but when i put a cord from there and into my 4 track or PA system, it sounds really trebley and buuzzy. that is when there is distortion on it.

also, anyone know what exactly you need in order to play through a cabinet?? do u really need the head, or could you just use an amp and run a cord form external speaker to it. or run it from a pod?

thanks again.

You ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, DO NOT want to run the external speaker output to your mixer or PA system. This is a high-power output and CAN'T be used for anything other connecting a speaker cabinet to.

As Bruce said, do not run the external speaker out to anything except a passive(non-powered) speaker.

To play through a cabinet all you need is a cabinet(duh) and a power amp. You could plug a cabinet into your speaker out of your amp, although it will only sound as good as your amp sounds. That is why most people use a head to power their cabinets. The head is actually a guitar pre amp and a power amp. To run a cabinet from a pod you need a power amp in between them.
