Is it ok to use a regular guitar cable instead of a speaker cable from the headphone out of the amp to a cabinet? I guess it is, just want to be sure.

It is, but usually going out a headphone out will significantly cut the volume. It's not like a speaker out.

Actually it's pretty loud for a headphone out. In the Marshall board some tech guy posted that it can provide something like 1/4 watt through the headphone out. I knew also from a tech from there (possibly the same guy) that impedence is not an issue with the headphone out, just wanted to be sure about this cable thing. Thanks!
