Ashdown Amp without a cab

[jim_bass]

Can I run my Ashdown Klystron 500 amp head without a cab or will it damage the amp?

I was just wondering if I could use the DI and effects that are built into the head to record into logic via my usb audio interface without annoying the lady in the flat below me!

I don't know if the output level of the DI is dependent of the main output volume level of the amp? Would it need to be turned up to get a a suitable level through the DI?

Solid state power section. Should be fine! I'd check the manual first though, just in case.

Generally speaking its only amps with a valve power section that aren't happy without a load.

My ABM runs fine with no load, just set the output volume to zero. The DI level is controlled by the input volume and EQ IIRC
