    FM3 into Front of Quilter Amp - A gigging success!

    Great post - thanks for sharing this. I'm running into a Micropro HD (Celestion Neo) via the return, and another SS amp via the return, its cab with an Eminence Red Ryder - I turn off cab modeling. I'll give it a try with the front of the amp. Good tips on db output and the dummy plug as well.
