Old amp into power amp

If you absolutely love the tone from your combo amp, and the combo has no Effect Send or Line Out, then you can use this device between your combo's amp and speaker, and then this box could send a safe signal to another power amp.

This box retails for about $40 and is indeed capable of accepting amp levels up to 3000 watts and goes between your current combo's amp and speaker (so that it remains impedance-loaded if need be.)

Just to clarify: I'd imagine that one would have to leave the speaker connected to the amp via this Behringer (or any similar) device.

It is unlikely that these types of direct boxes can handle the output power of an amplifier on their own.
