I have my Mesa Roadster with the extra 2x12 cab. I'm taking delivery of the Orange Tiny Terror & its 1x12 cab today.

What I'd like to do is use a Radial Engineering Tonebone Cab-Bone switcher to flip between the Orange head between its 1x12 & the Roadster's 2x12:

My question is this:
Is it alright to run both the Roadster combo output to the 2x12 cab & the Orange Tiny Terror output also to the 2x12 cab?

I'll really only use the Roadster or Orange amps by themselves at any given time so its NOT like they'll both be pushing into the 2x12 simultaneously. But since the Roadster cab input jacks are in parallel & I'm running the Orange at a given moment, would the output transformer (OT) of the Roadster suffer anything or vice versa if I have the Roadster running to the cab, will the Orange be hurt?

Would I having the Roadster amp OFF while I'm playing the Orange help or vice versa? Or is any of this even an issue?

Lastly, is there any other speaker-level A/Bs like the Cabbone I should also look at as a solution?

TIA :)

the way I understand it, with the cabone you can switch between two amps at will so they would both be on. You can also switch between two speakers of different impedance. Radial engineering is a Canadian company so it is quite unlikely that a better switching device is available

I think as long as the 2 inputs you're using on the 2x12 are mono inputs and not stereo it should be alright...I think...
