Plug elec guitar to earpiece?

[apoolbahari88]

Hi.

Can you plug your elec guitar to an earpiece? Or maybe elec guitar to the amplifier and then to the earpiece...

I'm asking this because the main reason my mum prevents me from buying one is that she's afraid the loud noise will disturb my dad...

So answers? please?

yeah the amplifier has a headphone jack.
or alternatively connect guitar->pedal->headphone

guitar straight to earphone = no sound.

Alright man thanks for the quick response!

Be mindful though.

The guitar amp is mono. Your earphone is stereo. If you plug your earphone into the amp, you can only hear the sound coming from the left channel. Right channel would be silent.

the Ampworks is an amp emulator- you can plug headphones or link it to the amp 8)
