I decided to buy the amp, but I just received it a few days ago and learned that he lied to me about the test (the guitar still plays fine when you plug in the 2nd cable), so the amp i bought isn't cascaded.


I'm sorry - I can't sit here without commenting on this comedy of
errors.

I knew it. I knew it from looking at the pics of your amp's guts
versus the pics of other 2204 models that were known to be cascaded.
Too little wiring around the input jacks for that amp to be cascaded.

We told you to tread lightly. That amp was non-cascaded. You posted
cut and pastes from the seller that clearly showed he didn't know what
the *** he was talking about. You bought the amp anyway. Probably
also at a premium.

I honestly do not know why you bother to even ask for advice here
unless you just want a baseline from which to work in a 180 degree
fashion from.

As far as modding your amp look at the input section of both of these
schematics:

It's more involved than adding or swinging a few jumpers .

Don't play the "he lied to me" game. We didn't lie to you... you just
chose to ignore us.

He had plenty of warnings, but it is true that had the seller been honest about the simple cable test, he would've known for sure. So I think your message leans heavily towards the harsh side. Not that I haven't done that in the past myself, I don't claim to be an angel!
