    I think only valve amps need a load, you'll be fine, save you a load of hassle too! I've just ordered another 15" powered speaker/monitor for our PA that'll be using more often with a DI instead of  a backline more often in the future. So long as you have a decent PA it's a good call.

    we should be ok with the PA we have a 2.4KW EV rig with 2 powered bins and two powered tops and a big old 24 channel studio craft desk

  2. I am a fairly unsophisticated player.  Until very recently i was using a 4 x 10 speaker on top of a 1 x 15 speaker with a 500 watt peavey t max.

    I did not go through the pa

     

    Recently for the smaller pub gigs and private parties I have been using a GENZ BENZ shuttle 6 or a shuttle 3  with 1 or 2 TC electronics RS210

    I am thinking for the very small venues of DI ing into the PA 

    so the question is can i use the shuttles as a DI ( without speakers )or do they have to have a speaker load like my T max

  3. I gig  occasionally with two bands playing bass. I use a Genz Benz shuttle 6 as my main head 

    I like the sound of the GB after using a load of markbass kit and more recently a TCE RH750.

    As  a backup I have a Genz Benz shuttle 3 which I have had three or four years and have never used.

     

    OK the valve in the shuttle 6 went haywire during the soundcheck at my most recent gig so I got out the shuttle 3 

    I use a 2 x 10 for my onstage sound but  DI into our EV rig 

    The sound guy said my sound was way too loud much louder than my usual amp.

     

    Now I am MR OCD so every setting I use is marked on the controls of all my amps ( I play guitar in another  band as well) and both my bass amps had all the controls set the same.

    When i checked it over after the gig one switch was different 

    on the shuttle 6 the GND LIFT switch was set to GND

    on the shuttle 3 the GND LIFT switch was set to  LIFT

     

    so the question is would this switch (the only switch and setting that was different between the two amps ) cause a much greater line level at the desk
