There’s nothing like a cranked tube amp — but volume is usually the deal-breaker. In this video, I’m recording a real tube amp at home, fully cranked, with no speaker on at all!

I’ll show you:
- How I’m running my pedalboard into a cranked tube amp
- How I record it silently using a load box
- How to use cab sims / IRs instead of a mic’d speaker
- And how this fits into a simple home recording setup

If you love real amp tone but can’t crank an amp at home, this setup is a game-changer!
