Hello All,
I've got a '65 Reissue Deluxe Reverb with the standard set of parallel-wired (Internal and External) speaker jacks, and as I understand it, as long as the internal (8-ohm) speaker is connected to the Internal speaker jack, another (8-ohm) speaker (or cab) can be connected to the External speaker jack (i.e., parallel = 8 X 8/8 + 8 = 64/16 = 4 ohm load = no worries, right?).
Problem is, when I do that, the speaker connected to the Internal speaker jack works just fine but the speaker connected to the External jack goes dead (nada). The speakers are all fine because whichever speaker I connect to the Internal jack works. Only the External jack appears dead.
What gives here anyway? The Fender manual states that this type of arrangement or configuration should not be a problem. Any ideas? Has something in the amp itself gone bad? Where do I start?
Thanks.
