    Okay I got on blackstar 2x12 for my marshall head this week but i'm slighty unsure about which way i should be plugging them into eachother and hopefully someone could clear it up for me

    Marshall has one 16 Ohm input and two 8 Ohm inputs

    Blackstar has two 16 Ohm inputs in stereo and one 8 Ohm input in mono

    If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated

    I would imagine 8ohm our from the head into the 8 ohm input of the of the cab. Thats assuming the 2 speakers in the cab are 4 ohms each.

    I could be wrong, I've never used stacks so i could be way off. Dont know why the blackstar would have 2 16 ohm inputs though??

    Plug a speaker cable into the 8Ohm out on the marshall and use the 8Ohm input on the cab.

    Dont forget to use a speaker cable! It may look like a normal guitar cable but they are not the same. You could damage the amp by using a guitar cable.

    is it okay that their parallel outputs on marshall?

    and also thanks for the advice on cable, it was something i didn't know but i'll remember for future

    The parallel outputs on the marshall are for when you want to use 2 cabs.

    You'll prob have 3 sets of outputs on the marshall:
    1x16
    2x16 or 1x8
    2x8 or 1x4

    Plug into either of those 2x16 outputs and you should be fine :)

    Dont forget the speaker cable!
