Hello all, I'm a big fan of Graham Coxon from Blur's 1959 SLP tones through his Powerbrakes and into 1960AVs.
In order for me to try to recreate this tone and not wake the neighbours (!), can I safely run a 1959 SLP into a Powerbrake and then into a Universal Audio Ox (with no cabinet connected) without blowing my amp?
My thinking is thus:
- It is definitely possible to run the Universal Audio Ox without a cab connected. I do this currently with the Speaker Volume on 0 and it works fine
- Therefore the UA Ox essentially is replacing the cab
- Putting an attenuator (Powerbrake in this instance) between the amp and the UA Ox would therefore just be essential recreating an Amp>Attenuator>Cab scenario except the 'cab' is a load box throwing out a cab simulated line level signal????
I just want to be sure that I am correct in my last assumption above before trying it. Any help much appreciated.
