Good morning there!
Yeah right, it's one of these (stupid) questions again.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Since the web provides too many different/varying opinions on this, I thought I'd just ask you guys.
I have the cheapo Harley Benton 100W attenuator (Jettenuator clone) and a Two Notes CAB M+, and I do enjoy using that combination to play and record my Ampeg VT-22 and Fender "Evil" Twin directly into audio interface and/or headphones. Both amps carry big irons, so the clipping indicator comes in handy.
BUT: There's quite a few old solid-state fellas waiting to join in on the fun, they're a tad grumpy and sad already, since they don't get that much love these days. To be specific: LAB Series L2/L5/L11, and a (ported) 120W Ampeg G-series beast of a head.
Would it actually be safe enough to use them that way?
Definitely not planning to dime them, I'm only asking because I'd really enjoy having the option of playing/recording those particular amps just like I do with my tube amps.
The attenuator should at least act like there's a cab connected, or I could actually have one there, but starve the volume - would this work?
