Every amp I've owned has had a line out--Marshall, Fender, Rivera, THD, and so on. Sometimes it's called "Slave Out"--it's a line level post power amp output, designed for chaining amps together. Generally, an effects send is post pre-amp, and a slave/line out is post power amp. Some amps even have knobs to allow you to set the level of the line out, others do not. If your amp doesn't have a line out, then get an attenuator, such as a THD Hot Plate, the Weber VST attenuators, the Dr. Z AirBrake--they all have line outs. > I've never heard of such a thing on an amp. Like I said, it might be called "slave out"--it's designed for use into a board, or another amp. Most amps (well, at least 80s or more recent amps) have them. > I hope you're not talking about the speaker jack? No. And that's a good point--you'll still need your amp plugged into a speaker, or at least a load dump that emulates a speaker load. Otherwise, you can damage the output transformer.
