You need to use Balanced Line Out jack/s to connect it with your PC,
even unbalanced Line Out isn't best option. But DO NOT plug it via speaker out jack.  Send + Return are for use of external effect device,to put it into fx loop.

The Valveking is a tube amp and (if) it has no line out you can't connect it to your computer.
But don't despair you could get a redbox/DI box and connect to the computer from that. If converts your signal from the Extrernal speaker jack into a balanced signal. The down side is that the poweramp can't work without a connected load so you have to get a speaker cabinet to connect the redbox speaker-our jack into. Otherwise you can get a SM-57 mic to get the sound from your amp into your soundcard. -------------------- My bands homepage

If it doesn't have recording out or balanced di out than you can't connect it that way , and I suggest using MickeM's method with di box..Also I would suggest getting a cheap recording interface like Toneport and using a microphone to capture the sound of the amp.

I would have done what MickeM and Bogan suggests. Get a DI-Box. They dont cost alot and will make your recording-projects a LOT easier.
Here's an example of one: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BBE-ACTIVE-DIRECT-...1QQcmdZViewItem This one's got the sonix maximizer feature aswell. You can probably find cheaper ones too.

QUOTE (Rooks @ Jul 22 2008, 10:21 PM)  He. Except I'd need a connected load along with the DI-Box according to MickeM, and thats where it stops being cheap i guess  Perhaps there are tools that can simulate a load. Someone else might have ideas on what to put in the "through" connector. Otherwise there are cheapo 1x12 cabinets at thomann.de for 60 Euro  -------------------- My bands homepage

I might be mistaken here as i have little experience with DI boxes, but i thought the point of them was to connect it after the poweramp (instead of cabinet) and straight into a mixing console/soundcard, and that the DI Box handles the load problems.

Yeah, I'm with everyone else here, DIbox or Toneport for recording. DIBox is a nice cheap solution that will not fry your computer.

I'm quite sure that when taking the signal from the poweramp you have to connect the "through"-connector into a speaker. I.e if you're dealing with a tube amp. If you take the line out from the pre amp you can go straight into your PA/Computer or whatever, with a balanced signal. But for sure there's hundereds of more DI boxes than the Redbox that I know and it's not at all impossible there are more advanced DI boxes that can handle the load aswell.  QUOTE (Andrew Cockburn @ Jul 22 2008, 10:50 PM) Some power soaks have a line out, but I always though DI boxes were instead of an amp ... And here's where the confusion starts. I know, I called it DI box above but usually I always say RedBox but I thought people would understand DI box but not redbox. So perhaps the Redbox is the correct term then for a speaker cabinet simulator (or miked cab sim) after all and the DI box, as you suggested, has the use of replacing an amp and goes directly into the PA/soundcard. -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Rooks @ Jul 23 2008, 01:07 AM) Well I'm confused now .. You need a redbox and a small cab to handle the load  unless... the poweramp section is connected to the speaker section with a cable that you can unplug. the you connect that cable into the redbox and the through into the speaker. poweramp->redbox through->speaker then the redbox output into the soundcard. But I doubt it's a cable back there. This post has been edited by MickeM: Jul 23 2008, 12:11 AM -------------------- My bands homepage
