Can't use the HRDs preamp out for headphones. My DSL401 has a Line Out, can't use that for headphones either. The Line Out on my Marshall is the preamp section only, it has "cab simulation" to give the effect of playing through a cab/speaker.

I believe some of the Webers offer a jack for headphones, but this is not a Line Out. They have Line Outs in addition to the Headphone Out.

Don't have to do any surgery to hook up an attenuator to an HRD. Under the head is two Speaker Outs. You simply unplug the 1/4" jack from the speaker going to the 1st Speaker Out. Now you run a speaker cable (male/male) from this Speaker Out to the input on the attenuator. Then you need a male/female speaker cable. The male goes into the output on the attenuator, then you plug the HRDs speaker into the female jack. Takes one minute tops to hook it all up. :D

You can get the speaker cables (not instrument) on Weber's site for about $7 each.

The Preamp Out/Power Amp In on the HRD is your effect's loop. You go out of the Preamp Out into a pedal or multi-efx, then come out of the pedal or multi-efx back into the Power Amp In on the amp.

You can bypass the preamp section on the HRD by going straight into the Power Amp In on the HRD with a multi-efx. You will lose all tone and volume controls, you would control these completely with your guitar and pedal/multi-efx.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260268 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260213 Sat, 18 Aug 2007 06:27:52 +0000
If that's the case then it must be a recent change. My hot rod deluxe has a "preamp out" and a "power amp in". The preamp out works quite well for sending a line feed to an input in my "studio". The amps still have preamp out, but doesn't that negate the benefit of the all-tube power section? I know it's a line level signal, but the only sound you are getting is the preamp, without any sort of power tube distortion. Almost every line out I've seen built in to an amp pulls from the pre-amp section. They'd have to build an attenuator in to the amp to pull from after the power stage,]]> Live Sound Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260213 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260181 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 23:27:58 +0000
Your original post mentioned a dorm. Utilizing the the attenuator and mixer combination, you can set the Mass Lite to maximum attenuation (zero external volume), plug in your favorite backing track on your iPod at max volume, put on a set of headphones, and jam away for hours while your roommate studies for his Anatomy & Physiology exam the next morning. Of course he'll get into Med School but you'll have all the groupies :twisted: Everybody wins!]]> Live Sound dhutson https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260181 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260174 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 22:53:10 +0000
You don't use the line out for headphones as Dhutson notes below.]]> Live Sound slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260174 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260168 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 22:26:56 +0000 Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260168 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260158 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 20:55:23 +0000 Live Sound jewtemplar https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260158 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/tube-amps-and-line-out/#post-260156 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 20:36:47 +0000

One other thing I forgot to mention, and there are threads on the forum about attenuators, is the beauty of pushing the tubes while maintaining lower volume levels is something you have to experience to believe.
