Thanks Rik, I will try to find a dummy plug and try it!

Ontol,

Ontol….total output on combo is 16 ohms…however, you can use a dummy plug to plug into either the main speaker or ext speakr jack…that divides the jacks into 8 ohms each…plug your 8 ohm speaker into the remaining jack..I have an 8 ohm setup with two texas heat speakers that I use with mine…

rik,

I love my “new” Prosonic combo. I want to use it with my Marshall SE-100, but it takes 8 Ohm input. The Prosonic’s output is 16 Ohms. Is that right? Is it possible to add a switch, like the head version, to choose between different impedances?

Ontol,

My friend just purchased a sea foam green lizard skin amp. The backplates that protect the tubes are missing. Is there somewhere I could get replacements manufactured or ordered?

Colleen,

These amps are sensational, especially the early “LO” series. Highly underrated and highly desirable IMO. The gain channel is amazing with cascading gain and compression. The clean channel is more like an AC30 sound, a little darker than traditional fender clean channels. These amps are becoming rarer and collectable as the word gets out. If you can get a red snakeskin or sea foam green custom shop model, (only 500 made) go for it, you will not be disappointed.

Peter Smith,
