Hi everyone!
I would like to kindly ask for advice on this.
I recently got a Laney Linebacker KB120, an 30 something years old SS 3 channel keyboard amp with 15inch and a tweeter. I primarily play guitar, so the idea is use it as an amp modeler power amp, but also as a portable PA solution for bass, keys, vocals etc. However, the input impedance of all channels rated 6k8 ohms and input sensitivity -26dBV/50mV. With my almost zero understanding of the matter, I recon it wouldn't be ideal to plug a guitar or bass directly in that low of a impedance and should probably use a DI, pedal, or my Boss modeler as a buffer in front of the amp. Should I be weary though of overloading the input, thus damaging the amp? Should I be conservative with the levels of my modeler? It is rated 2k output impedance, -10/+4dBu nominal output level. The range on the level pot of the modeler is huge, at least if I knew where unity is on the travel? I suppose it would be better if I plug the modeler in the return of the FX loop, but there isn't quoted specs for it. Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers!
