I want to run both a guitar signal, and a vocal signal through a power amp. Can one stereo power amp send the guitar signal to a guitar cab and the vocal signal to a PA cab? or will I end up with both signals going to both cabinets.
Thanks.

Re: Stereo Power Amps: different signals to different speakers?
I will be plugging into a PreSonus Firestudio for the vocal preamp and a Sansamp California for the guitar preamp. I was thinking 8 ohm cabinets, but that's a variable as I haven't built them yet. I'm just wondering if two signals can be kept totally separate by a stereo power amp.

As long as it has separate inputs for each channel. But, we need more info.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

Usually you'd have at least a small mixer in the middle there. What are you trying to accomplish?ryansalmond wrote:I want to run both a guitar signal, and a vocal signal through a power amp.

Re: Stereo Power Amps: different signals to different speakers?
+1 : add a small mixer before the amp. Pan guitar to one side, and vocals to the other side. Just make sure they are always panned appropriately before you turn on/up. You get much more control using a mixer instead of just plugging strain in.
