I found that by running my V-amp in the effects loop, setting it to a low volume, and cranking up my amp, it sounds wonderful, and at low volumes. Is this safe for my XXX and the V-amp?

Re: Found a Way To Crank My XXX, But Is It Safe?
well from what i think your doing is your cranking the preamp so your getting preamp distortion, i would doubt very much that your damaging your v-amp because thats what effects loops were designed for, But i have to say what a great idea, never though of that myself...to be sure wait until one of out guru's here confirm it but id say your safe..

It's actually the master I'm cranking, so I'm not sure if that's preamp distortion or not. Either way, it sounds killer!

No, the preamp is at 5, master at 10. The behringer is used to lower the volume.

What you're doing is the same as running a channel master volume at 1 and your master output at 10. As long as that V-Amp is designed to operate at line level you won't hurt anything by doing that.
Although all you're getting is preamp dirt, you're not pushing your power tubes at all. But hey, if it sounds good, that's all that matters.

I have a similiar setup, I have my volume of my DSL at around 5 or 6 and put my volume pedal in the effects loop.
This way I can lower the volume to bedroom - level and still get a decent sound out of the amp.

It's best to run the ouput of the modeler into the FX return on the back of the Peavey.
Try it both ways. Input jack and FX return. The only way you can really damage an amp is to have no speaker plugged up, have the wrong impedence by 8 ohms or more,
or to run the speaker out of one amp into the input jack of another amp.

GJ, I should've cleared that up. I'm not using the modeler for tones, I'm using it for effects with it's preamp modeling bypassed.
So I'm not cranking the powertubes...Oh well, it still sounds great. Thames, when I get some extra cash, I'll most definitally take you up on that offer!
