RenntSter20 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hello everyone! So I got a Washburn guitar from my cousin other day with no cables or amp or sound card. I bought 2 meter 3.5 to 3.5 mm jack cable and 3.5 female to 6.3 male adapter. I was wondering if I could simulate amp with my pc so I get like a real sound effect from electric guitar? I cant buy sound card or real amp btw. Can anyone guide throught this process? I am all new at this. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 If you just want to make noise then plug the 3.5mm end of the cable into the mic socket. Any more than that and you'll have to spend some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenntSter20 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 So the cable in pc and amp simulator will not work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Not by plugging it into a mic socket. What you need is a 1/4" to USB cable from Ebay. They're pretty cheap maybe five quid or perhaps less. The computer needs to see something digital in order to do something with it using software. If you have amp software already, then you'll need to set it up so that it takes input from the correct device in the software settings panel and sends output to your soundcard.

ed_lecter Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi! I think the best solution is buying an audio interface, back in the day I used this one, it´s not that expensive https://www.gear4music.es/es/Grabacion-y-Ordenadores/Behringer-UCG102-Link-Interfaz-de-Audio-para-Guitarra/8CT?origin=product-ads&gclid=CjwKCAjw57b3BRBlEiwA1ImytllaIAsqwoQgWTrKxDkSLh8JPE40V_Yp6t30ZUtY4HAyy_6_BZh8wBoC6mkQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
