Dual rectifier slave out question

[chris_bubel]

Hi

I have a dual rectifier and I cant always mic up to record can I hook up to slave out into my recording interface to record the signal? I know the signal will be thin" because I dont believe it runs through the power section. I was thinking about hooking up like normal, to a cab but keeping my global master volume very low and using my preamp volume to get the gain... then running the signal through a power amp sim/cab impulse to get the beef. I know I cant run a tube amp without a speaker load is the reason I ask. I want to try it but I dont want to hurt my head. Will this work?

Thanks
Chris

Yes you can do this.

The Slave Out is tapped off of the Output Transformer so it will contain the power-section.

The Slave Out level is dependent on the Output (global volume). IMO very low output settings (whisper quiet) will result in thin and lifeless tone, same as a mic on a cab at those volumes, YMMV.

just run the fx Send in a DI with your favourite cab simulator and there you go! turn the master all the way down and record with headphone.

if you go pedals, just run it like this

send, pedals, output of the pedals in the DI.
