Heads and Combo Amps

[Druw]

Hi,
Is it possible to use a head with a combo amp? For example :
Epiphone Valve Juniour and a Roland Cube-60
Thanks

Sure, it's possible to plug the speaker of a combo amp into a head, so that the head drives the combo's speaker and the amp in the combo is not in the circuit, if that's what you are asking. You need to make sure that the output impedance of the head matches the impedance of the speaker (though if the speaker is higher, it's OK) and that the speaker is rated at a high enough wattage to handle what the head throws at it.

If you are asking if you can run both amps through one speaker, the short answer is no.

Correct. I frequently do the same. Kinda like a buffet. Multiple flavors.

I was wondering if I could use my Marshall stack model with a head etc. so the combo acts as a cab.

There's also an A/B switch called "the head changer" that would allow you to switch between the combo and the head using the combo's speaker.

Do you need a line out on your combo amp? Or in other words how would they connect?

/stupid question.
