Can a practice amp be plugged into a more powerful speaker cab to increase the level of sound?
Instead of using a separate amp head, could a guitarist use a practice amp run through a much larger (in terms of wattage) speaker cab to increase the level of sound output?
If needed could the practice amp be first run through a preamp of some kind to increase the power of the signal being sent to the speaker cab?
I ask because this could perhaps be a cheaper way to upgrade your amp, but also because I once was at an Awesome Color show and swore that I saw the guitarist using a small practice amp on stage.
Yeah it would work but I don’t think it can be like a huge stage set like 15 Marshall cabs but i doubt you have that so it would work most likely. But the sound quality would still be bad… buy a Vox!

ZT Lunchbox Cab 1X6.5 Passive Guitar Speaker Cabinet Silver $119 The Lunchbox Cab is built on the platform of ZT’s highly acclaimed Lunchbox amplifier. It’s a Lunchbox without the amp—a passive extension speaker, with the same solid-as-a-brick cabinet housing the same custom-design 6.5″ driver used in the ZT Lunchbox amp.Weighing less than 7 pounds, the Cab can blast out over 120dB, and sounds great doing it. The Cab also features a phase switch to provide accuracy in any situation.Connect the passive speaker cabinet to the Lunchbox amp’s external speaker output and build a Lunchbox stack (it’s adorable—like ferocious puppies or kittens). Or spread them apart a few feet to create spatial imaging. Or go further and put the ZT Cabs on opposite sides of the stage and give your sound a dimension that will make the crowd’s heads swim.*Note: Early production Lunchbox amps (serial numbers LB02 0000 1000 through LB02 0000 2999) are not optimized for use with the Lunchbox Cab. Please verify that your Lunchbox is compatible before you add a cab, particularly if you expect to play at very high levels. |
