Hi folks!
Just bought myself a Blackstar HT-5 amphead. It's a 5W tube head.
Outputs on the back are 1x 16 ohm and 1x 8 ohm.
Im all new to tubestuff, only owned a line6 spider 2 combo before and after only a podxt live board. I read that i MUST have a cab connected in order to use the head so the outputs have load on them. Load dummys are expensive.
Can't afford a cab atm but wanna try the head out using the headphones output.
What i do have tho is a "GAS" 10" speaker saying 180W 8ohm on it. I figured that i could just sodler a 1/4 plug on it and use it as load but still use headphoes out? (hopefully the head turn speaker out off when plugging something in phones out)
Would this work or will i burn the head?
