I have a 6G7 A blonde Bandmaster with a the 2 12 cabinet. I am wanting to run another extension cabinet at 4 ohms. Does anyone know if the is is safe?

Ivan,

Absolutely!! The saturation, (compression), and sustain is just wonderful. Better than any amp I’ve ever used.

Larry Heatwole,

I’m glad you kept it too! What a deal…Is it still running fine? You still own it?

Aaron Bader,

When I was in the United States Air Force, a kid from transportation sold me an old Fender Bandmaster with the one 12″ speaker cabinet for $30.00. I never realized how rare it was. I am so glad that I kept it!
