Sure, SS amps have no output transformer, thus can be run fine with no load.

The original SS amps had Darlington Pairs (2 transistors coupled to form a switch) and they could get fried with no load (I fried the very first Bogen SS PA head that way) but modern SS amps, no problemo.

Tube amps have output transformers which go into meltdown without a matched load.

Musicmaster2 is correct. You don't have to connect a cab.

Thanks guys.
I remembered that with headphones plugged in, the speakers are bypassed.....
after I posted (DUH).
Nice to know about the USB though.
Thanks again.
Rok on....
