    Hello guys

    I would like to if I could use a caliber 22 with this product:
    http://www.ernieball.com/products/category-534-Volume-Pedals/#/product/500K-Stereo-Pan-Volume-Pedal-

    and pan between two cab ?

    Is it dangerous for the caliber because the impedance will change.

    But the caliber is not like a tube power amp so is it possible ?

    (we can plug it to a cab with an impedance between 4 to 16ohms)

    thanks

    I’m not the authority on this, but seems like a bad idea. If anything, it seems that you should get two 22 calibers and use the pan pedal to go to each one, and then the cabinets.

    that’s what I think, an engeneer from ehx would be useful

    Yeah, they don’t really hang out around here, but from the manual:

    8 – 16 Ohm OUTPUT Jack – Connect the 22 CALIBER’s OUTPUT jack directly to a speaker cabinet.

    WARNING: NEVER CONNECT THE OUTPUT OF THE 22 CALIBER TO THE INPUT OF ANOTHER AMPLIFIER, AN EFFECTS PEDAL, MIXER, COMPUTER, COMPUTER INTERFACE OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DEVICE.

    So after looking at everything the answer to your question is defnitely no. May I ask what you’re trying to do? To use two cabs I guess you’re looking for two different sounds but if they come from the same amp (the 22 cal) what’s really the difference? Would you run different fx chains? Because you can’t run pedals after the 22 either. Also you should be aware that EHX no longer recommends it for 4 ohm loads. Just trying to help, and learn.

    Pedals aren’t made to handle those impedances, and both your pedal and your amp could get damaged.

    Yes but the pedal is just a volume pedal, so just a potentiometer, no real electronic components.

    The goal is not to have two different sound, but two different SOURCES for one sound. To pan my sound from left to right if i place a cab at my left and one at my right.

    The caliber22 is not ok with 4 ohm loads ? where did you see that ?

    Says 8-16 ohms right in the manual, the part that I quoted above. Also the description for the Ernie Ball refers to it being instrument level, so it will not accept a speaker out from an amplifer.

    To do panning like you’re describing, you need two amplifiers, not just two speaker cabinets. You will fry your stuff inside, and I don’t know what cabinets you want to use, but you may actually fry them (with fire) as well. Be careful.

    EDIT: Getting two 22 calibers really would allow you to run how you want to. It would probably sound awesome.
