I have Band practice on Friday.
AS we are very limited for space i cant bring most of my stuff over to where we are practicing
And have to make do with whats there, although there is room for my 10W guitar amp in my Motorbike box.

Is it possible to plug a standard mic output into the guitar amp input.
I havnt got the equipment here to do a test run, but is this possible?
Try not to just state the obvious i need this help, with quite proffesional feedback, other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Quick response greatly appreciated again.
Thanks.
Sam.

it is possible, but it'll be hella quiet. It wont be heard over any drummers or anything. It'll be alot quieter then when your guitar is plugged into it, atleast through my expierence, and it wont be as crisp or clean. Make sure you use your clean channel, and eq it out fairly flat if you are going to use it, but you're not going to hear it over a drummer or anything.

you can get plug converters from the music store, they make just about every conversion combination you can think of so im sure you can find one, if you use one of those and plug it into the standard input for the amp then it shouldnt affect the volume much if at all

Guitar Center has a whole section of their stores devoted to cables and adapters. I am sure you can find something on their website.

63.48 KB it should also have a load inside, ranging between 50 -250 k ohms.. that way the low impedance of the xlr cable will match the high impedance of the 1/4 phono jack (otherwise standby for feedback city!).. even radio shack has them..i use this one all the time when i want to run a dynamic mic into guitar pedals..

^as stated above...Microphones puts out a low impedance signal, were a guitar puts out a high impedance signal, you need the above pictured device to convert from low to high impedance. Another thing, enjoy the feedback!

there's less impedance applied to the mic signal in it's circuitry, and more in the guitar, it attenuates the signal to keep the amp from overloading[lol]sort of..

yeah, but make sure you get one with a 1/4 inch end to go into your amp.
