stevieb71 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 i've made the catastrophic error of only using the spider valve for recording, so no cab sound and DI to interface. I was blissfully uinaware that this is very bad for a valve amp and as a result the amp no longer works. I get i will have to replace the Valves, which is fine but is there anything else that i could of damaged by running it this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes. Never turn on an amp without a proper output load on it. Fuses will go open, more than likely the output transformer,... maybe the power transformer as well. Needs to be gone through by a Line 6 authorized service center, and have it checked through properly by a tech who knows the in's and outs of this product. Don't do this yourself , the shock hazard is too great. One slip-up and it hurts like hell if you get zapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
