If you've never played one.....

It is very hard to amp a 12ver right using one amp. Most guys split the hi/low signal because the wall of frequencies produced by a 12ver is fairly complex. Works much better with the lows to one amp and the highs to a separate amp with some overdrive.

That is why you see the 12vers with two or three outputs....more control running the neck PUP to an amp and the bridge PUP(s) to the other amp. If you have a single output, you will be running that full range signal to a splitter box and then to two amps.

I've been using an active 2-way biamp setup since around 1979, and it helps with the 12ver, but I got a chance to use it through a Fuchs Bruiser amp and a 3-way passive cabinet, and what a difference a HF tweeter makes.
