Does the Super Champ X2 HD have any kind of protection in the speaker out in case of running the amp ON without any speaker connected?

The speaker out jack is a shorting jack. If nothing is plugged into the speaker out jack, the output is shorted to ground which is better for a tube amp than an open circuit. Still doen't mean that you shouldn't plug something in ASAP. :wink:

The schematic for the X2 isn't listed on the site, but it's reasonable to assume that the X2 is the same as the XD, having the same shorting jacks for protection. I would want to peek inside the amp to be sure though.

I thought that you were up awfully early this morning. :o :lol:

But, I think that you still got it right. :)
