Well yes, quite. It's labelled Line Out but it's really audio out as it varies between mic and line level depending on the master. Easy to pad it down to mic level either at the desk or via an attenuator (I carry one), but annoying if you want to crank it up in the second set to be heard onstage as it'll affect the FOH. I think it's maybe because the designer is SO old-school that it's actually intended to link to a slave amp, so turning up one affects both. Anyway, if you use the "out", then it's basically like mic'ing the cab. Woo, 1973.
Most bigger places use a DI first in line so it's less of an issue than it might be, really.
