I've read discussion on this forum on bridging channels
on your amp.  What is this?  What is the advantage?
How is it accomplished?

Thanks,

Charles, I'm not a tech, but here is my basic understanding.  You need an amp with more 
than one channel and with more than 1 input on at least one of those (my 1941 National is 
like this -- an instrument channel with 2 inputs and a microphone channel with 1 input -- 
each channel has it's own volume control).  So, you plug your mike cable into one of the 
inputs.  Then use an instrument/guitar cable (short is most convenient) to connect the 
other input from that channel to the input of the other channel.  You can then mix/blend 
the two channels by using the two sepatare volume controls.  So, appearently, the 2nd 
input jack also can be an output.   NOTE:  I only know from experience that this works on 
a couple of amps, I have no idea if it works on all amps -- maybe a more "techy" person 
can give a more comprehensive answer.
