barneyg42 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Doing a bit of recording with my band tonight and I'm taking my amp as an option. It has a DI out on the back. Do I have to have one of my speakers plugged in (with master vol turned down) or can I use the head alone with the master turned down? If you don't know the amp it has two pre-amps valve/solid state.

slaphappygarry Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can use the amp without a cab. Valve heads fry themselves if not connected to a cab. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaphappygarry Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yup If the valves drive the power section of the amp its bad news. The valve is for tone and is not driving the cab. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
