CD input on amp

[jony]

I would like to know. In some guitar amps, there is a CD input. Is that flat response? Similar to running thru a DI box?

thats what i did with my cd input in my amp, since my amp didnt have and efx loop.

errr i maybe dumb, but what efx loop got to do with cd input?

 

[mamemo]

efx loop and cd input = flat response, and isnt coloured by the preamps(to some extent)

so if i have an amp modeller or something, i'd plug it into those rather than the amp's guitar input

Thanks mamemo!!

It's probably the closest you can get to a flat response - but your tone is still going to be affected by the speaker..

It's not going to be flat. One of the components of a guitar amp that adds the most color is the speaker/cabinet. Try playing a CD through a guitar amp's CD input and judge using ur own ears

it will usually sound like crap.
