I was ready about breaking in speakers. Got me thinking: my computer speakers pretty much suck. So I connected the computer to my tube amp: now this is music-listening! And it gets the speaker to break in.

I'm surprised by how natural everything sound. Not distorted at all.

Any set-backs? Next time I throw a party, this is my rig :) Good for music during brakes on small coffeehouse gigs too??

Ah, just hooked up my mic and blew along. Great. One question: when I stick my mic in the low input (along with the computer/rod piazzo in the high input) Rod is not blowing as loudly. Is this a bad sign, or are they sharing one current? Can someone explain?

Some amp designs do share the same current between high and low gain inputs, which can cause a signal cut on one or both inputs. I've had the same thing happen with my Kalamazoo before.

On some amps wire the inputs in such a way that if BOTH are used the attenuation is bypassed. Some Fenders are like this.
