Electric Guitar -> Amp -> Sound BlasterX Katana

[xnoobftw]

Hi all,

I've just gotten an electric guitar off a friend for cheap and am looking for an amp to play with.

I've read online that we could theoretically wire a guitar amp into an external speaker.

 

My question is:

Let's say my guitar is hooked onto a Boss katana mini https://www.boss.info/global/products/katana-mini/

then from my boss katana mini I'll mod it and add an audio output where it'll be connected to my Creative Sound BlasterX Katana https://sg.creative.com/p/speakers/sound-blasterx-katana?gclid=CjwKCAiAu8SABhAxEiwAsodSZKmPBk-JRVcJFLoeeMyupw9MFjjv3VzEtT5PFG_E1m-UmAJydkx-9xoCfhAQAvD_BwE 

 

will that work?

 

Thank you!!

That should work, I do see any reason why it wouldn't.

I have no idea what impedance is but just checking if they're compatible that way! 

May i ask what does the phone/rec out do?

Phone out is a way you can connect headphones to the amp so you can listen to what you are playing. Thus there is no reason you couldn't connect that to those speakers. You'd probably only need a 3.5mm aux cord to go from the amp to the speakers.

That will work, however sound quality will be questionable at best. It is because usually amps don't have that great speaker emulation on rec outputs.

 

As connection goes Boss rec out -> Katana AUX in should work without any issues since it seems both are line level.

If you haven't bought the Katana yet and are looking at your options, I'd be tempted to say, just get a cheap interface and some good emulation software. There are a tonne of free guitar amp/cab emulation softwares available and they would probably have a much better result than amplifying the headphone out from the Katana.

The combo amp already has a built-in speaker? Why do you want to connect it to a hifi system?
