Emergency I'm dumb

Chrism2sych · 8th July 2009, 08:19 PM

So bored today I decided that I wanted to power my 300 watt trace elliot combo w/my laney 65 watt combo. So not having the proper speaker out on the laney I went through the headphone out jack and into the speaker for the trace when suprisingly I got no sound I decided to turn the trace on as well. I had power for about one second then all went black. Ive check all the fuses nothing is blown that I can see........what did I do and how do I fix it.... thank you for anyhelp that may be provided. I will answer any questions needed if more information is necessary thank you

Hmm... Are you sure you're not a drummer?

I dont know these amps, but since this is the solid state forum I assume they are solid state and not with tubes.

So basically you connected the outputs of two amplifiers together.
You might have blown them both, needing serious repairs.

Take them to a professional repair shop.

Hilarious. Even though I used to be a drummer.
