Hi,
I saw another member already asked this question but got no response so I'm hoping I will.
Can I run the Jazzmaster Ultralight without a speaker connected?
Thanks!

Check you manual, but in most cases you need a speaker or some sort of speaker load on the amp. Maybe if you use the headphone jack. I only use tube amps. You can't run a tube amp without a load or serious damage will occur. Solid State amps may be different. You could always call Fender to be sure.

Thanks for your reply but I of course checked the manual and it doesn't say anything on that subject.
I know you definitely can't with a tube amp but with most solid states you can. But that's it, "most" is not all and I'm wondering if I can or not with the Jazzmaster Ultralight.
Anybody from Fender care to reply?

Unless you plug in a headset what is the good of turning on an amp without a speaker?

You can run the amp with no speaker load. I am assuming you want to use the line out to drive another amp or recording device. If you use the headphone jack the amp power output will go off.
