You must have very understanding neighbours.

I saw the setup and thought you were gonna riff out some sludge metal.

The Cr120 is the best solid state amp out there right now I'm getting that soon and he gain kicks ass sounds like a tube

If I was living in my own house I wish my neighbors were deaf, I'd be the luckiest guitar player in the world

wow that's some straight up Buckethead tones In the end, awesome !

I too was able to get great times out of a Marshall MG head... I think it gets shit on by 1) people who have never owned one and are just parroting others, especially on internet forums, and 2) people who got a combo with a 6" speaker and expect it to sound like a full stack JCM800.

I love the DFX amps also. I have the 50 watt single 12 combo, now with a Celestion Vintage 30 in the cab.I also have a 250MG-DFX. Two 12" speakers, true stereo, 50 watts a side. Really nice spatial delay and reverb. I agree, I don't know why they get so much bad press. I can't tell you how many people ask me if they are valve amps. Great sound at lower volumes, plenty of decibels when the house is empty. I use an ABY.

I leave my chorus pedal on the whole time for that big wide spread sound

That is amazing bro. The splitting of tones is absolutely orgasmic

Wow, great video Dave. Looks like my Blackstar and Vox are going on a date, can't wait to try this out with them.

you'll get some ground loop issues using a stereo pedal, to eliminate those use an ABY box with phase inverter and a ground lift

I keep coming back to this video and I still can't believe the tone you get out of both amps at the same time.

I totally love the last song you played,it is really beautiful.Nice video!

I know I'm hella late but this is a fantastic idea. Gonna do this and bust out some fucking sick Stoner Doom riffs :)

lush playing at the end super chilled me out thanks and incredible tone !!!!

Wow, not out of phase. Very great sounds.

Totes agree on the MG series words man, they are awesome bang for buck, and they really don't sound bad. The MG100DFX combo is a pocket rocket, giggable, compact, hard wearing. AWESOME playing as always.

It’s easy to fix the hum, either make sure both amps are plugged into same strip or just put an adapter on one amp with a ground lift - so now there will be only one source of earth ground

I run a butler 200 watt head with a peavey 4/12 top cab and a randall 2/12/15 bottom cab. Loud and crunchy.

I'm gonna have to try this with my new Randall and my only Marshall

I think this is my dream rig.

i think an ABY pedal would be great, being able to switch between the amps and being able to combine them with one simple pedal.

The hdfx is a very versatile amp! It sounds great in the video but I bought one for death metal and the amp does high gain insanely good for the price.

you have convinced me to give solid state a second chance. I owned a mg100 and a 100hdfx. they sounded flat and dull.. i think the speakers make all the difference..

Nice mix, specially clean.

Couldn't decide which of the two new (used) amps I bought (Blackstar HT-5 and the HT-5R Mkii) so I use them together via an ABY pedal and they sound awesome.

My go to guy for the OG amps and his crazy ideas🇬🇧🤙🤘

Hi Dave. Like your channel, verry inspirational. You are down to earth and a great player with a set of good ears for tone.

Ha! I happen to run a very similar setup. I got an Orange Rockerverb MK1 and a Marshal DSL. They run on 2 different cabs (one with V30s and one with Custom Speakers) and I use a TC Electronics Mimiq at the end of my signal chain. It kills any noise you get from phasing etc. and it fattens up rythm playing by quite a bit if you dial it properly. I definitely recommend it for bands with 1 guitarist that want massive sounding guitars.

Sweet Strat and nice playing dude. I love stereo set-ups. Those are nice fat tones. IMHO it works best when the two amps have quite different characteristics. Typically, a Fender/"American" amp with a Marshall/Vox/"British" amp, or good models thereof. I also really like only driving one side, typically the British side, and keeping the American side cleanish. You can have really raunchy overdrives without losing any attack definition. Either way stereo is epic for ambient tones as you show, cheers

can you do a lesson on the last thing you played? it s fantastic!!

Great video Dave, I love your channel, always something good to watch / listen to. I've got the Marshall MG 100 HDFX head too, bought a mint one crazy cheap with the MG 4x12 cab, then swapped out the stock MG speakers for 3 used Celestion G12T-75's and a 150w Celestion Sidewinder (taken out of a Marshall Reverb 75 1980's SS Amp and replaced with a G12T-75). The cab sounds awesome, better with the Sidewinder than it did with 4 G12T-75's. Like you, I don't understand why the MG100 Heads get a bad rap, they sound fabulous if you get the tones set right (turn that treble down). The MG is my most played amp by far, use it a lot more than my tube amp.

Nice one Dave 9:17 onwards very cool and yes it does teach us what is possible I always wonder how you and others can play that in your home and that the neighbours don't complain ,hoping to move next year so I can expand :-) great sound thanks Dave always look forward to your Videos

this is the video ive been waiting for .. thx dave

CE-5 ne of the best chorus pedals out there. I'm saying the best :) I owned one once, along with DD-6 whch was as well fantastic, but I was stupid enough to sell it. Really great units.

the pinky finger hardly got any love!

Very nice original chops

Great video Dave. Can you show details of the back of the cabinet how the split is done? Thanks.

Imagine how good it would sound with a Les Paul!

Thanks Dave definitely an inspiring sound together and dude your a very good guitar player ! I’m in the state of Ohio USA.

Awesome! Who said you can't gig with Solid State and be too loud, valve snobs, that's who! Haha! Try putting the 2x12 Orange CR120C combo through a 4x12 cab, Dave! You'll love it, it's mega! :)

I just got an Electro Harmonics switch blade to run two amps and with that u can turn on and off one at a time

you should get another 4-12 cabinet to get more stereo or wet dry separation. sounds great.

Cracking stuff really enjoyed it. Liked the guitar thing you did at the end.

Cheers dude thanks for the inspiration I'm gonna try my stuff out... I'm gonna try using a guitar amp and bass together with my theramin Your amps sound really great together, one doesn't need to spend a fortune on splitter box etc

Both sound great together

Great sound. You ever consider getting the big shot ABY pedal? A lot of times they will have a phase switch and ground lift. It will quiet the signal so you don't get that annoying buzz. Cool sound though man

It’s the bassist from Iron Maiden 🤟🏽🤘🤟🏼

Not sure why you'd want to lug around TWO big heads on top of a 4x12 cab.....I guess if you feel the sound improvement is that mush better.....But that just means that you will have to run the heads at lower volumes whereas if you just used your Orange tube head through that cab you could really push the tubes (in the orange tube power amp all the harder.....But I'm guessing that if you already feel the two head sound is that much better......have a blast with it. .....at least if one head blows...your "back up" will already be in line ready to go

was I hearing some Rory Gallagher inspirational licks their? you can definitely get the Rory sound with these two amps together.. ;)

LoL, you are happy 😀😀😀,love the red F.

Fabulous tones for outro jam my guy👻👍

I run two.. MG 100 FX ..And a JCM900..

that is a pretty magical tone with the 2 together ....BUT I think you should run the marshal into the orange , then to a cab or 2

Dave , I dig this. can we get a followup to this video with the same 2 amp setup and discuss how to handle effects like a 50% effects wet left amp and 50% effects wet right amp vs a left 100% wet effects amp and a no effects right amp.

Stereo !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah !! :) :) :)

Please make a video on chords an how you use embellishments to make them sound better then a straight strummed chord if you can thanks again for your videos

i have the same Marshall and i Love the orange its sooooo butiful:-D

Time for you to do this again..👍👍👍

2 years later

No matter how hard i try but even after fifteen years I still can't get behind strat sounds

That was cool...

I get asbestos by just watching this. However, I have two 412's how would I go about combining my to amps?

solid states by them selfs arent it cheif but man two the way you set it up its... its quite nice lol

Oh my God, they sound so fucking good together it's not even funny! DAMN, I'm blown away by the thickness of those tones. Now I feel like dropping some cash on a CR120 as soon as I can to pair with my MG100DFX

i recently bought an a/b box for my two heads, i only have one input on my cab the other is an output for another cab but only one head works because theres only one head actually connected to the cab. thoughts?

I was thinking having two(Same)guitar wireless units using one transmitter and two receivers separately one to each amp, anyone?

Hello Dave. What do you use to record your videos....does the sound go through a DAW?

So, John play all the time trough both amps!!??? He does not alternate between one and another for clean and distor tones??? ???? :O Regards from México Dave! You rules bro.

Get a ground lift ABY pedal get rid of the static

It sounds awesome... and I have that marshall amp too! Another reason to buy the cr120! :)

I have the HDFX, same one. and for being a shitty cheap transistor amp its actually really nice. Also have the crush 120 in the studio, pro version tho. Its the saaaaame cmon hehe

Your the only person on KZfaq who does this

Epic sound Dave

Dang! Can I Be Your Neighbor! 👍🎸🔊🎼 Most Awesome!

Can i use the Orange Amp Detonator instead of the Chorus pedal on a stereo cab?? Thanks 🤘🏻

Sounds awesome mate. Great video too.

what are the weird streaks of light that appear occasionally in the top right photo frame?

Great video..how do i connect two identical 212 cabs together with a cr120h..would appreciate your help.

I have an MXR 10-band EQ with two outputs... can i use it the same way?

and dave i have to ask..do you enjoy the hybrids w tube in pre driven by solid st.rec?? how about modeling..marshall codes are brilliant to me...if u like only full on analog ..have you checked out vox av..???

awesome love your videos dude

haha. this is my amp setup. cr120 and a mg100fx. two cabs, left and right.

Can I run two amps through my boss looper pedal or mxr chorus? The looper has 2 outputs and the chorus I think has a second line out

Just say you want to run it split so you can just go back and forth and you want to share a looper pedal and reverb through both amps effects loop. how do yo do that?

I have a roland jc 120 and a orange crush 35rt. I want to hook them together to play at once. Is this possible?

Saturn Works splitter @ about $30

I'm gonna try this with AABY Box I've got APV valve king 51 by 12 and APV Delta blues 1 by 15 s**** about to get wild

Super useful

Hi Dave! Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if it's safe to use a stereo pedal (like my stereo electric mistress) as a last pedal in pedalboard to split the signal between my mg100 & cr120 (both of them having their own 4x12 cabs)? Can something bad happen for the amps with time?

Can you please demo that lovely looking P Bass in the background sometime Dave? , I would love to hear you play a bass

I'm very curious as to how you modified your 4x12 cabinet in order to make this work. I am trying to do the same thing with my EVH 5150III 50-watt and my Orange Dual Dark 50 watt. I currently have an Orange 4x12 cab, and would ideally like to modify it so I can run both simultaneously. The 4x12 is just a pain to gig with so have also been considering buying two 2x12 (or even 2 1X12s) and just designating each head to its own cab. As someone who mainly plays small clubs and bars, do you think modifying a 4x12 is worth the effort, or would 2 2x12 or 2 1x12 cabs be a smarter option?

Awesome ...

I don't get it really, cause if you want "stereo" you need two cabinets. One mono cabinet can't give you the real stereo effect even if you're running through 2 amps into mono cabinet ;) Good sounds though, greetings from Poland

Awesome vid

Hi Dave, will the same work with an ABY switch Fender? I want to put a Marshall JCM 800 2203x and a Bugera G20 in the stereo. Box 412 Marshall Vintage 1960s. Thanks

Two amps sound better than one....!! I've always used two...sounds way better than one on its own...

Nice video Dave, i was going to connect up 2 Roland street cubes amps 50 watt, i purchased the Radial Bigshot bypass, i am pretty new to this, so, the lead from the guitar would go into input, an i would need 2 other guitar leads to go from the output A to 1 amp, and Output B to the other amp, would that be correct???

How do you connect this up at the back of the cab?

That was great
