Class 5 - Headphones Jack As Attenuator

[Federico Valle]

I was told to use the headphones jack as an attenuator.
Is this ok? Can this damage the amp?
Thanks!

Yeah, flip the selector switch over the headphones setting, plug the speaker cable about halfway into the headphone jack, and you're set.

Reminds me of the album cover from UFO

I use to use this as my desktop wallpaper, and when I came across the picture a few days ago, I thought I'd try it on for size as an avatar. What do you think?

It takes me to a time I personally didn't experience but one I've been always curious about. Simpler times.

I think what's attractive about it is that it takes your mind somewhere else... to a different time.

That and the legs! But seriously,good point,old photos are amazing for triggering the imagination- spain or somewhere in the 50s/60s before all the tourism, like 2 hotels and a beach bar or something. I'm from england but stills of America especially 50s 60s 70s always do it

I'm using a Haze 15 Cab, that has a 16 ohms speaker while the stock speaker of the C5 has 16 ohms (corrected!). Can I used the jack of the headphones as an attenuated output anyway?

Just tried out the headphone jack bedroom tone trick. It actually works great! I've been afraid to try it out because I did not know if I could hurt the amp. You get great tone without it being way too loud.
