So, I have the Blackstar HT 40 as my 1 and only amp. Trouble is my band is now just starting to play gigs and I am a little concerned about the dreaded total amp fail...
I really don't want to lug a spare amp around and as I have a Combo was thinking that I would have to get some kind of modeling unit that could be stuck inmto the PA..
however, I was looking at the Tiny Terror Micro head, which is 20 W and very small. Could I unplug the speaker from the Combo and plug into the Tiny Terror (would probably need to take the feet off to make the cable reach). So long as impedence matches and the combo is switched off, this should be fine right?
Anyone done this or something simillar? The beauty here is so little extra gear I'd need to carry and I would still get an onstage Amp sound (often playing without monitors)

Whether it would have enough headroom, I would be less sure about. It would definitely sound very different.

Hmm, hadn't heard of the Magnum...: http://www.ehx.com/products/44-magnum looks interesting
We are mainly playing small gigs with our own PA, which is really vocal only and we don't have a monitor as the singer uses some inear wireless system... This is why a system where I can use my combo's speaker is ideal.
I guess the HT 5 head would not be so huge, might also be an option. Will need to see how long that speaker lead is!
IIRC the speaker lead on the HT-40 is jack to spade terms so just make up a longer one and keep it coiled up in the cab.
Again, memory fails a bit but I think the speaker is a 70/80 so you could have a pretty meaty sstate amp as backup, 100W into 8R would be fine.
Bonus is the forty won't care a ***t if you forget to plug the speaker back in!

But a ht dual and a small power amp could work. You're looking at a greater cost, though
Loads of people online disappointed with breakage.
If peavey released the bandit as a power amp in a relatively small package, even with the transformer, it would be a winner I'm sure. I've run a digital preamp through the line in (pod farm) and it works really well, though pod farm isn't the best.
