Crate Line Out

[dt king]

I have an old Crate G40CXL with two eight inch Celestion G8L-35 speakers.
I use it for live gigs when I don't plug right into a PA. Works fine in
small rooms.

On the next gig, I'll be plugging to the house PA, but we want to keep my
synth horn sounds off the monitor mix -- they distract the vocalist. I'd
planned to use the Crate as a monitor and plug the PA into the line out on
the back of the AMP. So, I'm looking at the amp and I see it has left and
right line outs.

I'm not using the amp's chorus or reverb. As far as I know, the input jack
is mono. I wouldn't imagine there'd be any difference between the output
of the left or right line-outs. What do you think?

I would guess the same. Without the chorus or reverb going, both sides
would be fed the same mono signal.

Wither one should work. However I've rarely heard an amp line out
sound very good, especially the less expensive ones. You'll be far
better served with a DI in line before the amp going for the PA.

That sounds like it'd work better. I was a bit concerned, because I
couldn't really adjust my monitor volume, once it was all set up. I went
into the basement and put together a simple passive splitter. I'll
probably send the direct inline to the house PA and plug the amp into the
isolated side.
