Connecting Guitar AMP to computer

[tommyarmour]

No idea, never used any of them. Id reather just get a POD unit. You can hook them up to the pc and also use an amp i think

You would rather get a pod unit? Are you talking about something different than the 2 I have in my Amazon cart?

Line 6 POD 2.0 - though im not sure if they have been discontinued, They used to be all the rage when i last part of a gigging band, I think Line 6 have slowly phased them out. Shows how long ive been out of the loop


If you can pick one up second hand its well worth it

::EDIT::

I think this is what happened to the legendary POD series Either one of these would suit your needs. plus Line 6 knows what their doing when it comes to amp modelling.

I tried using the iRig adapter I bought off of amazon. I figure that should get me close to the plastic adapters of the stealthplug, or
BEHRINGER. I dunno

This is cheesy video of what happened. The feedback is horrible. I didn't have any issues using the plug and the Logitiech speakers. But when I used the headphones, or the marshall amp in the iRig plug it was not good when using amplitube 3.

I ordered the StealthPlug just to find out, maybe the other plug is bunk. Its possible I Should use a different input when plugging into the amp too. I don't know that either.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

tried plugging it into the main input where your guitar is supposed to go?

I think the feedback is just electrical interference....

Also play some pantera or some Randy Rhoads riffage or gtfo. I have an Obsession with the solo riff from 'Floods' by Pantera at the moment. I need to dig my gear out and have a jam. though I think both my guitars need some truss rod adjustments ;p

while its easy to do my own adjustment. Its been so long since ive played id rather just take it down to a guitar tech and have everything just re-setup entirely.

Now the problem with going headphone out of the iRig to Input in on the Amp, is you have to adjust both amps completely. I'm no longer just using the speaker in the amp. Now I'm running two amps at the same time. It doesnt sound good that way at all. Any slight adjustment sounds horrible and the feedback is way worse.

When plugging into the ipod input it just plays through the speaker in the amp while having all the amp levels set to zero. You do need to turn the Master Volume up a little but that is the only knob that does anything when using the ipod "IN".

No idea then, This is beyond me - I have very limited experience with hooking things up the way youre doing.

I know exactly what your talking about. I can connect any high end stereo system into any car. Root and Mod and Android Cell phone, But I can't seem to use amplitube with a real amp. LOL

Well thanks for the idea's. It doesnt hurt to try. As soon as you mentioned the input. I tried it. I'm not afraid to try the different plugs, I'm just finding out everything sounds like shit from this plug. I even tried a real set of headphones. They too sounded terrible coming from this plug, using amplitube 3.

Hi. Newbie here. Trying to run 2012 Rocksmith on Windows 7 PC. I say trying, b/c the game is stuck at the strumming/tuning/annoying coloured guitar necks scrolling by part. Anyway, the typical PC speakers are too weak/quiet. I have a Radio Shack (china) amp that I'd like to connect to the PC. I tried a patch cable with 1/8 male into PC and 1/4 male (guitar cable input) into amp, but no luck. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Chris.
