not sure what you mean by 'plugging a patchlead in' being a bugger?
the sockets are all at the top on these models... making side by side bolting pretty simple and access via the top...

providing the sides are perfectly vertical or you'll need to make some tapered spacers to fit in between the pedals so that they sit flat on the stage - or you could gut both boxes and wire them into a new case large enough to hold them........ seems like a lot of hassle compared to plugging in a patchlead and sacrificing all that room :lol:

sorry - missed it (and kinda still don't get it - I'm a bear of little brian).

the stage room will be saved widthways at least... - more importantly - the wallet will be saved by not getting the J&H - at least not for now...

erm, I still don't get how you'll save stage room by bolting them together rather than just sitting them next to each other :eek: unless you're worried about the extra few mm's that may creep into the equation?

they are vertical, and identical - that's kinda why I wanted to try them.

and my time isn't worth that much - hell - it's better than mowing the lawns heh.

sheesh - I just wanna do it - go - on - lemme do it? puhleeassseee???

I had kinda sold myself on the idea of doing it anyway, just wanted to know if the units were total crap, or quite usable... sounds like they're usable so could be a bit of me... 8)

why didn't you say you just want to do it rather than 'saving stage room' and 'hassle' :lol: it just seems much more hassle to me, but what the heck....

to me hassle at home is less hassle than hassle at a gig. I guess it's all perspective :-)

:eek: if that was true I'd have started about how the tone would be shit, and even shittier when they are screwed together - especially if you don't use the correct type of bolts....
