9 Stereo-Linking Two Amplifiers
To take full advantage of the Spitfire's stereo capability,
you can link it to another amplifier to create a true
stereo setup. This section explains how to do that.
To Stereo-Link Two Amplifiers
1. Place the Spitfire and the auxiliary amplifier far
enough apart to allow for a decent stereo
spectrum. A few feet should be sufficient.
2. Make sure both amplifiers are turned off and that
your guitar is connected to the Spitfire.
3. Using a 1/4" TS cable, connect the
Spitfire's STEREO LINK
OUTPUT to the input of the
auxiliary amplifier.
4. Turn on the Spitfire
amplifier first, and then turn
on the auxiliary amplifier.
5. Play your guitar and adjust the
volumes of both amplifiers until they are
approximately equal. You may also want to adjust
the tone of the auxiliary amp so that it matches
the Spitfire's tone as much as possible.
6. Now you're playing in stereo! Experiment with the
Spitfire's stereo effects to hear what a great
difference two amplifiers can make. The best
listening spot is a position that is between the
amplifiers and equidistant from each, with both
amplifiers facing you.
