Bugera bv1001t - Using DI only

[Fronicz]

Hello Im new to amp head and was, wondering about this head and wanted to see if I could find a more direct answer.


So I was wondering about the post and pre eq.

I had a little dabble with a direct line out to the Mixer and was wondering why I can't dial in my tone, moving the knobs doesnt make a difference at all...Do I require a speaker load to get the tone dials to work?


As well as this are these amps safe to DI without a speaker load?


Any information would be great thanks.

It's a solid state amp and can operate just fine without a speaker load.

The DI has a switch to set it to either pre-EQ (moving the knobs has no influence on the DI tone) or post-EQ (tone knobs should color DI signal). I've no idea why you don't hear any difference if you set it to post-EQ.

I think the problem is when I set it to post EQ the sound literally cuts out (literally no sound if I switchto it ) so I assumed I needed a speaker load to be able to push the post EQ.

It's the tube head not the solid state

Tubes are only in the preamp section, the power amp is still solid state.
If you get no DI output when you put the switch in post-EQ, I'd say it needs repair.
