K100 B5 PA Head - Direct Out? [message #20805]

Hi,

I have a K100 B5 PA Head, which I actually use for bass guitar. I want to use it for recording, and I want to plug it Direct into the recording module.

Besides the speaker outputs, there are two outputs on the back of the Kustom, an RCA and a quarter inch/regular guitar cable output. Which is the proper output to use for my direct recording situation? The outputs aren't labeled at all.

Thanks!

Welcome to the place. I think that the RCA jack is considered the recording output jack.

What color is the amp? What sort of music do you play?

Ah, that's what my bandmate said. After I'd gone out and had a custom cable made with a quarter inch end. I think I'll have to get that altered then.

Thanks for the (quick) reply!

It's a black PA head, got it from a local Minneapolis music shop for $100 about 10 years ago. It works great for bass if you like reverby/60s big beat or early 70s rock sound. My band is called Mannequins on Welfare - kind of a psychedelic power pop thing. We do local shows but we want to take a break to record about 10-15 originals. Building a basement home studio and learning along the way.

Best~

Great price on the amp. The K100B-5 amp is a 60 watt RMS amp into a total 8 ohm speaker cabinet. The two speaker jacks are located above and a little to the right of the left hand side of the AC cord wrap.

The 1/4" jack lower right hand is for the reverb on/off footswitch. The RCA jack as already been explained.
