Hey Thomas,

The amp has no efx - just a barebones but serious sounding little (and I mean tiny - no bigger than your shoe) amp.

It looks like you're describing a stereo wiring setup, but this amp doesn't have a balance or pan pot, and the speakers in my cab wouldn't handle the power evenly (one speaker is 60w, the other 30w). So I guess my choices are:

1) get another pair of speakers at 75w each,
2) use a different amp that puts out @ 100w at 4 ohms, or
3) wire the cab in series and use and use a different amp's 16 ohm out

too bad.. none of those choices include using what I already have.

Here's a shot of the rear panel to show the somewhat odd connection choices the amp uses:

By the way, I'm local and I'd love to hear what the barefoot's are capable of in my studio. I'd probably be tempted to sell half my studio to buy a pair though!
