Hi folks. Newbie here. Just registered today! Not sure if this is the proper place to post but I'll give it a try. I have a couple of the "old" Cyber Champ amps (at 60+ years old these amps are easy for me to lift and offer me enough tonal options without dragging along stomp boxes that I love them). The problem that I'm facing is that the Cyber Champ amp doesn't have a line out option which I didn't think about when I bought them. When needed, I've been miking the amps with a SM57 but folks are telling me that it's not a difficult thing for an amp techie to wire up a line out jack so I can connect directly to the PA board! I'm told that this would not in any way affect the sound I get from the amp and speaker. Not being a techie, I'm cynical so I'd like to get some guidance about this, pro and con. Getting rid of the microphone suits me just fine but I do not want to risk ANY dimunition in the sound or tone coming from the amps. If the consensus is that this is not a problem, is there a good (and bad!) way to accomplish this? Can the headphone input jack be re-wired in some manner to accomplish this without bypassing the amp's speaker? Since the chassis is sealed from the back, I'm guessing that hooking up a separate line out jack in the back would not be advisable? Thanks in advance for your expertise.

On the main index page, a couple of listings above the "Super Champ X2 amplifiers" listing there's the "Modern Guitar Amps (1985-current)" section.

That's where the electronics gurus hang out -- people who modify, repair, and build amps. In general, they're not very interested in modeling amps so they don't read this section of the Fender Forum very much. But if you ask this question in that section you're very likely to get helpful replies.
