Is it Ok to join the output of guitar effect to normal speaker system?
Nyein Z asked:
I bought an electric guitar and guitar effect.
I already have an old guitar amp which is not good now.
I am thinking to join the output of guitar effect to normal speaker system for live show or to computer for recording instead of guitar amp.
I am just worried if it will harm my speaker system or computer.

no, get a marshall. everyone will think you’re a tool Andrew H
You cannot connect a guitar or effect to a normal unamplified speaker. You need a amp or a speaker with built in amp.
Here is a great cheap guitar amp:

Nyein Z,
It won’t harm either the speaker system or the computer as long as the output is not from a guitar amp. The speaker out from an amp can blow up lots of stuff. Don’t do that.
Plugging into a ’speaker system’ like a stereo from the effects box should be fine, and same into the computer. Turn everything DOWN before you start. It shouldn’t hurt anything.
Then the only challenge is making it sound good. Try stuff and I bet you’ll find a good sound.
Good Luck,
