Tube Preamp Question

[thunder100]

Hello

 

Just a stupid question

 

I just received my Marshall JMP-1 preamp.I have no power amp yet.

 

Can I run the out into my Roland Cube 30X guitar in?

Or will this smoke the SS Amp up?

Same for Line 6 spider Jam?

 

Thanks for help

It probably will, maybe if you plug it into the FX Loop "Return" jack, but I wouldn't do it without some professional advice.

if you run it into the guitar input on the front you're going to be running the marshall signal through the pre-amp and tone controls of the roland, defeating the reason you're using the JMP1...

 

...if your amp has a post-amp input or an effects return you can use either safely...just keep your master volume down until you establish a base line volume to work from...

Thanks for the answers

 

I think now to use the Record out(speaker emulator) into the aux input of the Spider Jam.I think this should work and I will start with low(no) volume and then move on

 

Anybody has a JMP-1?

Which if any silent(bedroomlevel ) poweramp do you use

 

Thanks again

Marshall 20/20???

Thunder - for "silent recording" the JMP1 has compensated speaker output. This means you can run it directly into a mixer (with delay and reverb or whatever efx added) and it should sound good into headphones even.

 

Another "silent" way is to usethe regular output, the mono one into a Pod XT with the AMP MODELS OFF- setting is caalled " No AMP " on POD and you can still use all the speaker cab sims and efx and eq in the pod. This will sound like the JMP1 with cab sims and efx and will NOT sound like a Pod.

 

It will sound great into headphones or studio monitors or for recording.

Thanks

 

I am not so m uch in earphones

 

I thought about POD(have UX-1) but did not recognize the no Amp posibility.Ill try with the Jamvox which has a decent speaker

 

Thanks again
