Eden e300t tube amp di questions

On a eden e300t the D.I does not mute when the mute button in pressed,only the cab is muted.
My question is. If you set up the amp and cab up as normal,then press the mute button on the foot switch.could you use this as a D.I for recording.would this hurt my amp? Would this be the same as running the amp without a cab? Just wondering.

from the owners manual....

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT use your VT-300B without a speaker
load. Doing so will cause damage. Running this amp without a speaker
load is a VERY BAD THING. Don’t do it. Ever. Remember, this is a
vacuum tube amplifier, not a solid state amplifier.

REPEAT IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT use your VT-300B without a
speaker load. Doing so will cause damage. Running this amp without a
speaker load is a VERY BAD THING. Don’t do it. Ever.

Using the WTB-300 Without Speakers -This amplifier is NOT designed to
be used safely without the loud speaker plugged in. Doing so will cause
serious damage to your amplifier. We keep saying this because it is so
important.

I sorry, I must not have explained my self correctly.The amp is pluged in to a speaker.when the mute button is pressed on the footswitch the speaker is muted,but the D.I is not. Only the e300t does this. The current version the wtb300v does not do this.
If you mute the speaker and play through the D.I will this hurt my amp?

It would seem to be ok, the way you've described it.

just to be safe search the forum at eden-electronics.com or ask "lane on bass" is the forum. he writes the owners manuals for eden.

I don't know how much tone effect you'll get from the head without also going through the power tubes and mic'ing the speakers

You're fine that way if you plug into a speaker. But that's half the fun of having a tube amp in the studio! I'd throw a mic on the cab and run a DI.

Thanks a bunch ya'll been a great help!
I agree putting a mic on the speaker and D.I will be the best sound. I was just wondering if that would work.
