hello boogie boarders
this is my first post. i just bought my first boogie last night, mark iv combo (#iv 008257)and have been lurking on this sight for weeks now. so to start, thanks for all the posts regarding the unique aspects of all the different amps. it was very helpful in trying to nail down the best choice for my purposes.
my question is this.......i plan on using this amp for direct recording with a palmer pdi 03 and a mic'ed isolation cab, but am currently without either for the amp came first. so i have this beautiful new toy that i cannot use for loudness reasons. i did not get a manual but i downloaded one from mesa, and the section on the "recording outs" seems a bit confusing. it states that the recording outs "mutes signal at the power section", but also warns not to use without a speaker connected. does this mean that these are pre amp outs? so can i at least use these outputs to get used to the controls, or do i still need a load of some sort even though the speakers seem to not be in the picture? sorry ... a bit confused.
also. can anyone tell me approx what year this is, given the above serial number. thanks
