Use power amp for attenuator

3ch recto slave out is all off the output transformer, when I use my recto I usually run it into a reactive load then run the slave out to my axe FX for effects (then into a solidstate poweramp and cab).

The recto, especially in modern mode, I think sounds awful with my hotplate. A quality load like the suhr is much better sounding. Though if you’re running the slave out into a tube power amp maybe it’s less noticeable.
Alot of people like the Suhr reactive load over alot of other reactive loads on the market.

The THD will work it's just a matter of if it sounds good to him. I don't care for the THD lineout but I don't use the THD as a pure load for my amps. I use a Rivera Rockcrusher to attnuate my amps down and then use the Suhr Iso line out.
 
If that's the case then the Slave out should be preamp and power amp just as if it is being tapped at the speaker jacks.....Yes???????????
Yeah, should be the same as if you used one of those little line out boxes plugged in between the amp and speaker cab.
