9Stereo-Linking Two Amplifiers

To take full advantage of the Spitfire’s stereo capability, you can link it to another amplifier to create a true stereo setup. This section explains how to do that.

To Stereo-Link Two Amplifiers

1.Place the Spitfire and the auxiliary amplifier far enough apart to allow for a decent stereo spectrum. A few feet should be sufficient.

2.Make sure both amplifiers are turned off and that your guitar is connected to the Spitfire.

	3. Using a 1/4” TS cable, connect the	Stereo Link
	Spitfire’s STEREO LINK	Stereo Link
	Spitfire’s STEREO LINK	Output
	OUTPUT to the input of the
	auxiliary amplifier.

4. Turn on the Spitfire amplifier first, and then turn on the auxiliary amplifier.

5.Play your guitar and adjust the

volumes of both amplifiers until they are approximately equal. You may also want to adjust the tone of the auxiliary amp so that it matches the Spitfire’s tone as much as possible.

6.Now you’re playing in stereo! Experiment with the Spitfire’s stereo effects to hear what a great difference two amplifiers can make. The best listening spot is a position that is between the amplifiers and equidistant from each, with both amplifiers facing you.
