Speaker or instrument cable?


Is it ok to use an instrument cable to connect the head to the cabinet for a short time? My speaker cable is going to arrive a few days after the amp, and I wanted to test it out to make sure it worked. Should I just wait for the speaker cable?

Best bet is to wait. I wouldn't risk it.

+1.

It's not wise to use instrument cable. Keep your amp safe and use the real deal.

No, wait for the speaker cable, they're designed to carry a different voltage to regular instrumental cables.

Ok. I'll definitely wait for the cable. Also I've seen people's Legacies without the board on the front of the head. The used one I got didn't come with the nameplate, and I thought it would just look better if it didn't have the board either. Is it easy to remove? Or is there a certain procedure to follow?
