Re: Recommend Drive Effect?

Ben N	Re: Recommend Drive Effect? Mark: Interesting idea about the subwoofer. I have had the same thought and never done much about it--well, I did pick up a cheap powered subwoofer intended for a PC sound system to mate with my Champ, but it won't really work without a decent preamp (not attenuated speaker, but preamp) line out. I still don't think it will sound like a closed 4x12--the diffuse sound of the open back 8" is too different for that--but at least it ought to fill in the bottom some. Ben
