Your Alternate Amp?

[Avidaxis]

Well, don't know about everyone else, but there will come a day, when the amp gets borrowed/blown up/ damaged/lost/etc etc and one will be looking for alternate ampilfication.
Regardless of whether it will damage the "alternate" ampilfication, i used my dvd player with the home theater system thingy, plugged into the mic inputs, turned to the AUX channel, and boom bada bing i have sound! It is not the right thing to do everyone knows, but heck sometimes i get desperate sometimes. Surprisingly i get a very interesting lead tone when i played through it with a rat boosted by sahasrara with added subtle delay to give the solo that really huge presence.
So has anyone, used any form of alternate ampilfication? I.E. radios/TV/etc etc xD

like you, i used my tonelab le through my home theather system, the tones were... not too bad. but not too good eihter

Nope, I'm too scared of blowing up the system and have my dad yell at me lol.. or worse, house burn down.

Only tried it the other way, use my amp as a giant speaker lol.

Hi-Fi system.

Computer speakers (with a POD)

Or why don't you just practice unplugged. You don't always need the pedals and stuff for practicing.

what cables to use for the "alternative amps"??

 

[Avidaxis]

yea silent practice is what i always do =x
i use the normal instrument cables 1/4" jacks. works fine for me.

I've been using the Zoom G2.1u for silent practice..
Or even as a DI box to com speakers..
But now since I'm selling it away.....

If my spider III 30 blew out, i always have my trusty marshall MS-2 to rely on until the spider's all fixed up.

[rimuel]

to the threadstarter:

i think u meant "AMP alternative" instead of "alternate amp"

 

[Avidaxis]

yea thats what i meant =x
I thought ppl would think it that way.... i did state though, """ I.E. TV,radio,hi fi-s etcetc""".
ok ppl whats your AMP alternative. not talking about using another amp and stuff.
Things like your home theater system, etc etc haha.
Thanks rimuel.

 

[rimuel]

no problem.

i plug directly into my laptop's soundcard.the tones are awful though.
