I recently bought a Route 66 and I am currently "the happiest guitar player in the world" !!! I live in Denmark and theese amps are IMPOSSIBLE to get hold of over here. So I consider myself to be quite lucky ! I have one question for all you guys out there...... I played the amp on 2 gigs this weekend and came to wonder....can I use 2 cabinets on this amp ? Currently I´m using the original 1x12" DR.Z. cab with a Weber speaker, but I would like to use a ´64 Vox cab as well. The Vox cab is 16 Ohm. Can this be done ?

I'm using an external cab along with the speaker in my combo (Mazerati 1X12). I'm using a Y-cable that I ordered from Reverend. Both speakers are 8 ohms, so I plug the Y-cable into the 4-ohm jack. What is the impedance of your Z cabinet? If it is also 16 ohms then you could Y-cable both cabs into the 8-ohm jack. I'm not sure of the formula for mixed-impedance speakers - I'm sure there is someone here that knows more about that than me! Hope this helps.

Hi Again,.
Now I´ve tried with 2 cabs simultaneously, and the darn thing only lowered the overall volume. Hmmmmm.... I guess I have to use only one cab at a time.

I've used two 16 ohm cabs, each with a single 12" with my 66 without any loss of volume as Franzen experienced -- heck, it was louder with the additional speaker (most of the time one 12 is sufficient). I think the trick is to use correct impedance. My 2 cabs run into a mojotone splitter coming out of my Airbrake. The Airbrake connects to the 8 ohm output on the 66.

Franzen, sorry to change the subject here but I am also a route 66 player and my band may be touring Denmark next year! Being a Tasmanian band there is a bit of a connection! We are looking at July at the moment. Maybe we can hook up and run our 66's in stereo!
