Just wondering if this matters. I've used both and didn't really notice any issues.

Slave out to Red Box - Patch cable / Instrument cord or speaker cable?

Buena pregunta. It should not be carrying much current. What is the input impedance on the thing? Are we supposed to keep capacitance away from the output stages of our amplifiers? Solid state amp or tubes?

Read the manual. Who does that??? I did that - and it didn't help.
I have ran the ridiculous dual speaker lineup before...
Speaker out > Redbox Thru . Cab in, along with an XLR to the board.
But I'm just running a Line from the Slave Out (which also have a level knob back there) > Redbox XLR > Board

If the connection from the amp is from the speaker jack, speaker cable must be used. If it’s from the amps FX loop send, preamp out or a slave out, an instrument / patch cable can be used.
Since the slave out is similar to line level, you can leave the thru disconnected from anything. How you have it is fine.

Of course...could always read the Mesa manual....
Because the Stiletto is a high performance concert-ready head, this output is provided as a one-way-send, intended for feeding large outboard rack systems which in turn feed additional tube power amplifiers.

That Mesa description is so wasteful of words. I sometimes wonder if they are truly an engineering company? A slave out is a low impedance, low voltage circuit designed to feed into another preamp or other amplification circuit. This includes DI's, mixer's, other amplifier inputs, fx loops, or whatever may be an input for an amplifying device.

I've used it from my Mesa's slave out. It isn't a high current signal like a speaker.Dave, Ambassador/Writer/Artist for Seymour Duncan

Bonus: Reading the manual it suggested using the 4ohm out on 50 watts, into 8/16 for crisper/tighter tones....have to try this!Originally posted by Bad City

For line level signals use an instrument cable (in some special cases, this could be even a TRS type).

I just kind of freaked the other night. Actually AFTER the other night.
I usually run:
Speaker Out > Redbox thru > Speaker Cab. using two speaker cables and...
XLR to board from Redbox
But other guitar player forgot his Cab Cable, so I just went Speaker Out > Speaker In (Speaker cable) and Slave out to Redbox.
Didn't think about until I posted this. Nothing blew up / melted or anything and it sounded the same as always....
Sometime you just freak yourself out for no reason. That was this.Originally posted by Bad City
