Traditionally yes but the whole point of the Darkglass head is the distortion. You lose that when using pre.

Fair point but if you need both you can get the clean signal from the DI on Pre Mode and the affected signal from the Preamp Out 1/4" jack in the rear.

Unbalanced, a separate DI would be required in live settings where the mixing board is far from the stage.
For studio usage is irrelevant given that balanced outputs are merely used for the cancellation of noise produced in extremely long cable runs.
Anyone else running their 4 ohm cab on the 2 ohm setting to drop the power to 500 watts cause otherwise the amp is too damn loud hahah?

This all has been very informative!
I'm wondering if anyone has compared the DG to a DNA amp. I'm stuck between the two as my next purchase! Thanks in advance!

Ha Nice! Well, don't need the clean button, if you don't have the microtubes engaged. Unless it literally cleans the amp, like with a remote feather duster, lol
Yeah I'm interested in the price as well. I don't really think it's something I need, but if it's under $50 I may consider it. It's probably a little higher than that though.
Replying to my own post, thought this was photoshop fun, turns out it's real, ha!
Still don't understand the clean switch, if the MT switches aren't engaged, would that not be your clean sound?

My guess is that the switches aren't on/off. It looks like in order to disengage you would need to press another switch other than the one that is engaged.
