Ok so I think I have a good idea on how to run my rig but I now need a LOAD BOX so because I will probably be using the ADA GCS-3 (most of the time in my home I will be using the GCS-3 without the speaker simulation but when recording or playing live might be usefull) but it still needs to be connected to a speaker, so I need a load box to make it work. Any advise?
The idea of this combined setup is to run the direct post tube poweramp tone to a RJM Mini Line Mixer and combine it with stereo effects and then to a transparent poweramp and then to the speakers.
This is what the pros use:

On the other hand, I wonder what it is you're trying to accomplish; if your signal chain end is stereo effects/power amp with speakers, you don't want to put another power amp/cab simulator/load box before that. It's just going to be a huge mess.
Ever thought about the "Monstercab"?......µCab rebuilt to µCab II specs with internal speaker load.....
MJMP offers these on his homepage......

Thats why I only want to take the tone after the poweramp section of the amp and take it down to line level so I can then add effects and then send it to the clean poweramp and to the speakers, so no cab simulation would take place in a live. The ADA GCS-3 alloys me to do that and switch on or off the cab simulation... I still need to add a load to the amps poweramp so I will get something like this to do the trick http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-OHM-300W-Non-Inductive-High-Power-Resistor-300-Watts-/130696698614?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item1e6e215af6 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-OHM-300W-Non-Inductive-High-Power-Resistor-300-Watts-/130696698614?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item1e6e215af6)

If the Microcabs II had a Line Out jack with no speaker simulation I would get it ASAP but they dont.
The MC II can do that,you can turn the cab sim on and off.
ohh... so how do you do that?
BTW, we need a setion with all the manuals so we can download them. I want to chack the Microcab II manual now for this.
Here you go... :banana:

I just read the manual but my question now is: when you press the ¨In/Out¨ botton do you switch the cab simulation on and off from the line level outputs? This will meen that the THRU jacks are allways sending signal?
In/Out takes cab simulation in or out of the circuit; like a buffered bypass.
Pass Thru is directly connected to the Input jack, so it is exactly what it says - passes the input through.

So when in ¨OUT¨ the outputs just have the same signal as the THRU just that at line level or mic level?

Yep that's correct.
