If it had a direct headphone out I would have already bought it.

Looks like you would still need to go XLR out -> Mixer/Audio Interface -> Headphone out?

Check the impedances and see if you can plug in several cabs at the same time. It'll be louder and you'll hear yourself better.

Saw a video on YT just using a XLR>mini jack cable straight into a Mac Mini; think it should be ok, presuming you can monitor your line-in signal on your compootah.

What I really mean is, why do people care about some wanking cracker playing blues just like every other honkey since Clapton?

I'm happy to admit I'm a fan of bonamassa. One of the few musical tastes me and Kay agreed on.
I don't agree with all his gear musings and sometimes his Eric Johnson esq runs get a bit much.
I wanted the wah as its suppose to be deeper/more vocal style in its sweep. Plus I like the copper/black look

So my m5 doesn't arrive till tomorrow, but I've set up most of the board. Pretty much the same as a pedaltrain, plenty of space and mounting options for power supplies. Didn't come with a carry case, so might have to find something to stick it in. Think I need some solderless patch cable kits.

And last photobomb for the day, my home studio setup is complete.
No excuses for not doing demos now.

I like to watch sometime live performances of Bonomassa, I think all the sarcasm that usually comes with his name connects more to the super expensive gear he is using and endorsing.
By the way, what model of H & K is it?

I've seen him live, was a surprise birthday present one year. He kicked arse ;)

It's the tubemiester 5 head. 5 watt all tube head with speaker emulated DI out and will take cabs 8-16 ohms.
Looks the tits when it's lit up and really falling for the sound.

I would think that it has some kind of electronic gain circuit, most amps with metal distortion have two pre-amp valves.
