C5-01 Low Power Mode with an Extension Speaker?

Postby Gridlock » 15 Jul 2012, 18:19

Does anyone know if it is possible to run a C5-01 combo in low power mode while using an extension cab/speaker?

Thanks,
Doug

Try sticking the extension cable half way into the headphone out when switched to low power mode (a/k/a bedroom volume trick) - cheers!

Thanks, but wouldn’t that affect the speaker impedance going into the amp?

In non-technical terms, I don't think it matters on the headphone jack (aka bedroom trick) since the load is already there. That's why it works the way it does.
