Roland JC120H + no speaker load?

Animus · 5th January 2012

Just scored one of these just to use for cleans and wanted to record direct though the line out and then use the Redwirez JC120 cab impulses. I know a lot of people say you can run solid state amps without a load just fine in most cases but should I be fine with the JC120? Just making sure.

thanks

You should be OK. The only SS amp I had troubles with running into no load was the Crate Powerblock, it just shut down...

Nevermind. Idiots. Bought it used from Guitar Center and arrived today. It wouldn't power on. Turns out it's missing the fuse and the fuse cap holder which is a type I've never seen before. Obviously, no one at Guitar Center even bother to test this amp to see if it works before they sold it.

Anyways, on the speaker load thing. I don't think it will work. Found a manual and it says in the troubleshotting section if the amp does turn on check for lose power connections AND that the speakers cable is attached.
