Anyone know of a decent cheap dummy load? I would like to run my head straight to my pc into impulses. Dont have room upstairs for my cab so an attenuator wont work.

You can use the MASS attenuator as a dummy load. Or, just run your amp right into the computer, and make sure you're videotaping :lol:

I actually did with my valveking for about five mins. Didnt hurt anything. I used the fx loop into the pc. I didnt do it long but it sounded crushing.

FX loop in is fine, probably. All that is is a Preamp output... the issue there is the power transformer still isn't seeing a load, so you'd probably want to have your cab plugged in anyway.

Yeah, if you had your cab hooked up, but your master volume all the way down, the FX send would still send your pre-amp signal :yesway:

You should install some heat displacement fins and a little fan in there.

And some LED's :lol:

The resistors have some fins on them, and that white stuff is for heat dissipation as well. If I used it more often and found it getting too hot, I would be concerned and probably install a fan.

LED's eh? That would be kinda fun...hmm...is there an LED that works entirely on heat so that it would get brighter as the unit gets hotter? Maybe a steam powered LED? Yeeaahh...that's what it needs....steam powered LED's! :nuts:

:lol:

You could probably get a thermometer circuit and use a vumeter to create an LED view on the top

Replace the switches with a couple of these:

And paint/decal it up to look like a detonator device :yesway:

I own a house, so i can be a friggin rock god at 3am if i want, but i would have trouble buying something to make my amp quieter. I paid for all that loud :lol:
