Line Out for Tiny Terror

nexxus · 6th January 2009

For sure this is a noob question, but somebody told me that it is hard to make a line out for tube amps.
Is this correct or can a tech easily build a jack to get line signal?
thanks

Some tube amps have line outs but you still need to hook them up to speakers so that the load is taken off the power section of the amp. For example my Mesa has a line out but it also has a mute switch. So with that amp you need to plug in a cab and flip the mute switch on so you don't fry your amp by not having a load connected. So it probably wouldn't be super cheap to add a line out to your amp.
