Hello,

I am just thinking about replacing my tube amp and cab with a FRFR monitor. So I have tried to connect my 11R directly to a power amp and a monitor box (using mains out). Unfortunately the sound was very poor compared to the amp/cab setup or to headphones. There was just no "brilliance". I.E. I didn't even notice a big differece in sound when switching between the pickups. Of course I enabled the cab simulation

Can't I go directly from main out into the amp? Maybe I need a mixer or any other preamp?

Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Stefan
