If its not a super precious pristine amp you could always modify the second speaker jack to be a switched jack that disconnects the preamp from the power amp and gives you a preamp out signal. Like a "slave out" on some older amps.

Or you could find yourself an Alembic F-2B, but that's more than a load box.

Yeah, I had the Alembic for a bit, and couldn't get it to sound as good as my Bassman head. Figure trying to load box w/ a line out would be at least worth it to hear how it sounds w/ the line out going to a power amp. Saw a former forum member on IG do something similar w/ a 60 watt Sunn head so they could get more volume for bass live.

which Bassman head do you have? some are of a different circuit than what's in the Alembic.

AA864, pretty much just use the normal channel (and the bass channel was modded to a JTM45-ish thing a while back).

Not like the wild solo but the softly swirly guitar parts.

I used to have a Small Stone that did it but there are so many things out now I don’t know where to start
