If I use an A/B switch, does it switch before the individual channel volumen pots (can I get 2 volumes using an A/B switch, like a clean boost)?

This amp is not a channel-switching amp and does not accept an A/B footswitch for channel switching; however, you can get an ABY switch, which you will put BEFORE the inputs. What it will do is take the output from your guitar and split it 2 ways. The pedal switch will select which one of the two ways the output will go. Connect one of them to the "normal" input of the amp and the other to the "top boost" channel. Both channels of the amp are always on, but what comes out of the speaker depends on which input you're using. So, your guitar goes to the ABY switch, then depending on which of the Y outputs you've selected, continues to whichever amp input it's connected to. This is effect will give you channel switching. But bear in mind that both amplifier channel inputs are always on.

No bro, the only footswitch it takes is for reverb and tremolo because this effects comes with the amp. The reason why it doesn´t work as you want is because the natural and boost channels comes with individual inputs, but if it is of any consolation for you, it is pretty easy to overdrive the channels because it has both master gain and each channel volume and what you need to do is to overdrive the channel´s volume for over the master gain limits and will naturally overdrive it and i must say... that´s a reaaallyyy cool sound in this amp. Is very british, valve, full and fat overdrive sound. I hope to be of any help man, it is a great amp very versatile, i love it No bro, the only footswitch it takes is for reverb and tremolo because this effects comes with the amp.

Not very, but it's by design. Since there's only a single knob to control both gain and volume, it breaks up pretty early, at least in my experience with a 1x12 and 2x12. The gain stepping is also pretty aggressive as you turn the knob. Others below seem to disagree but what constitutes "clean" and "loud" is highly subjective. There are however well published mods that you can do (or have done) to add tone, volume, etc. controls to the head. While it does sound great for a $100 tube amp, if you're going to consider investing in the mods it's probably more sensible to just buy a small head with more controls for the same additive price.

As Mark already mentioned, it is a bit of creative counting. 1 - 6 are mono inputs. The next 4 inputs are 'double' and can take individual input signals but the pairs share a single level control. To individually control them, you'd need to use both hands and PAN while you slide the main level for the pair of channels. Then similarly, the two Aux 1 & 2 are stereo too and similarly do not have separate controls and are therefore only marginally useful as individual distinct inputs.

I would read the manual. I used to do this for a living and frankly I can count on one hand the number of multi channel amps that I installed that had to have all 4 inputs used. Typically there's a set that you can use as two channel inputs that will provide input to all four channels if you don't have anything plugged into those. And typically these amps that required all four channel inputs were very high end like Zapco, MacIntosh, stuff like that.

This is not really a splitter - it's a switch. If you want to drive the two separate receivers simultaneously from a single source, this is probably not the product you need. You could search for a/v splitters to find an appropriate product. If you want to choose which of the two receivers gets the phono preamp output at any particular time, it should work with no noticeable loss of sound quality.

The A and B terminals are for two separate sets of speakers. You can run two sets of speaker wire to one terminal, one through the top, one through the bottom of each if you don't use banana plugs. If you use banana plugs you can't bi wire.

I wouldn't, it sounds like it should work but speaker switches are inexpensive and they have resisters in them. I read a old article on having 2 sets of speakers on 1 amp and I think they said you fed one threw the other. I don't remember how they said to do it I think they said you go from positive of the amp to positive of the 1st speaker form the neg. of the no.1 to pos. of 2 and from neg of No 2 speaker to neg of the amp. Bottom line is get a speaker switch better safe then sorry.

Each phones output can use either channel, not both. A switch selects channel A or B then the knob controls the volume of the selected channel for that output.

Yes, but check to see if Pyle has a 2-Channel Speaker Selector. This one is for 4 Rooms or 4 Pairs. If your running both A & B off of your receiver, all the speakers will play the same audio selection that you have your receiver set to. If you only have 1 pair of speakers connected to the "A" Speaker Channel output on your receiver, they will play louder than the speakers that you have connected to the Pyle Speaker Selector which you will have connected to the "B" Speaker output from your receiver. All the speakers volume levels will raise and lower through the receiver at the same time. This device does not discriminate. The only way to have independent volume levels in different locations is to either purchase a Pyle Speaker Selector with volume controls on it or have volume controls in the areas where your speaker wires feed to. I hope this helps. Ken Nichols, President SIGHTS & SOUNDS OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC. 3801 Environ Blvd. #517 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33319 305-788-1895

The switch does not have amplification so you can't control the volume with it. From memory I think you can have two sources plugged into it (ie amplifiers). What you are suggesting is not as simple as it seems, good luck

Yes. You can use a set of speakers on only "A", only "B", or both A&B at the same time. Works very well.

Short answer, Yes. These switches indicate which of the speaker outputs on the back of the Amp are live. Depending on whether or not you wish to bridge, you may have both A and B selected.

Hello, The bottom line is no, BUT: Power in wattage directly correlates to the SPL (volume) of any given speaker. The FIRST watt on any amp is the bulk of the power used at a normal listening level (70 ~ 80 db, depending on the efficiency of the speaker). So this AMP is plenty capable of producing a very high volume level on three small sets of speakers; But first you must match the resistance of multiple speaker sets to the AMP. To do this, simply invest in an inexpensive multi speaker switch, this one up to 4 sets of speakers): http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PSS4-4-Channel-Speaker-Selector/dp/B000NJHAFQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389892098&sr=8-3&keywords=multi+speaker+switch Without this device, the circuit resistance would drop to 2 ohms (or less) and fry the amp. Likewise, the lower the resistance to the amp, the more power it will produce, BUT, it will have a much higher Total Harmonic Distortion! I hope this helps.

It's basically saying if you split it and run two channels you will split the power. I run it into a single channel 4x10 cabinet. Plenty loud with that. The lower the ohms the more power directed to the channel.

Put your input into input 2 and switch Auto on to normal. This way the ampllifier is not dependent on input level to remain on.

The lead side had a pre gain and a post gain..either can be used as a volume control... If unwanted a dirty sound..turn up the pre gain and turn down the post gain... For a clean sound, reverse it.. The boost knob is great..it works regardless of what channel ur in.. Get the footswitch..the button on the right controls the boost...i think its labeled effects.. Good luck!

There's no such thing as a stupid question! You cannot control the volume with this foot switch. It will only turn on the drive and more drive channel for your amp.
