Can I Plug My Guitar Into That? [Or How To Rock Without An Amp]

You might think the answer is in modern tech. Well not necessarily…
Welcome to the show! It has been said that Daniel and I, well, aren’t exactly early adopters when it comes to the very most modern guitar tech. There are a number of reasons for that, but a very significant one is that with all the latest gizmology, connection protocols, app registration and seemingly bottomless user interfii*, the will of most Average Humans can be sapped entirely before a single note gets played.
So let’s just plug into a bunch of stuff and see if we can have More Fun With Less Tech. Is it even possible?
Enjoy the show…

[@kimbalbrown2338]

I used to plug my $12 guitar into an old shortwave/AM/FM radio cassette player my grandfather gave me... straight into the Line In. It distorted nicely and could record straight to tape ! Hours of beautiful noise.

[@iainguitar]

Me too. I know a number of people who'd pick up old valve radios from junk shops and make pretty warm sounding amps from them.

[@lunchpin403]

That rules, I'd love to hear that

[@kaiserjoe2316]

Yup. Had a cheap guitar and multi-fx unit(🤫) that I plugged into the mic-in on a hand-me-down hi-fi. Ended up jamming along to CDs of acts like Leftield, Future Sounds of London and other psychadelic styles. Think I still have some embarassing Gilmour-esque attempts recorded on cassette somewhere.🙃

[@mortenroedfrederiksen3393]

Same!!

[@steverose81]

I remember when it was too late in the house to turn my amp on, I used to rest my chin on the guitar body which would amplify the sound in my mouth and head! It really works.

[@Overworkt]

I used this technique to tune my guitar on stage before I had a tuner 😅

[@tomcaley8799]

This is informative, entertaining and a powerful analogy for puberty for many teenage boys

[@smelltheglove2038]

Lol. I can honestly say I didn’t try to “plug it in” to anything it didn’t belong in. I had a pretty cool high school sweetheart so I didn’t do much “experimenting” by myself, hahhahaha.

[@peddlereffects]

Lol I was going to say something like this but not nearly as funny as you were

[@64cousins]

I haven't watched the vid yet but this analysis has made it sound awesome.

[@DroneCorpse]

LMFAOOOO

[@benjammin4840]

🤣😂

[@LothyBluesCave]

Believe it or not, a VCR with a 1/4" aux input and our TV was my first amp in 1984. Those where the times...

[@PaulKennedy5]

VCR was a great and cheap stereo recording studio. Quality was often much better than home tape. Worked a treat.

[@jacobpittman1996]

I hooked a Mackie mixer to the RCA connectors on the VCR and played through the TV!!

[@JohnLawrieTWS]

My first 2 years of electric guitar playing I ran into a "Australian Idol" branded karaoke machine that happened to have instrument jack inputs for the mics, and a built in reverb. Probably explains all my favourite tones now.

[@philipellis7039]

My kids had a very cheap karaoke machine with a built in echo/delay. Was okay on guitar but absolutely awesome as a blues harp amp, just using the cheap mic that came with it. Instant Chicago 1950s. I did manage to kill it using it like that unfortunately.

[@dustinthiessen]

When I was a young kid, with my first electric guitar, through a series of adapters, I was able to plug my guitar into the phono input on my parents vintage console stereo, and I was in heaven!

[@rquimusica]

Same for me!

[@Halliday7895]

i did something like this but it was a disregarded record player receiver and speakers...i dont know what happened to the turn table but i used the receiver tuner as an amp to learn electric on for a year or so until i could borrow a practice amp from someone who quit learning...then i got a fender 212 FMr for Xmas eventually .

[@johnmaseratis]

This brought back all the excitement of my first electric guitar ! For three months, the only thing I had to plug in to was older sister's portable Cassette Recorder. You couldn't listen 'live', but you could play back what you recorded. One hundred and twenty seconds of latency 😄

[@mattgilbert7347]

😂😂😂 Brilliant

[@geordievapeman]

I hope someday I can get my glasses from forehead land into “sports mode” as smoothly Mick. They’re like an extension of himself the control he has of them. Eye-opening as ever gents. ❤

[@Toothbresh]

When I was in college, I had a housemate who was big into the tinkering world of guitar. Regularly modded pedals and amps and things of the sort. In the house I lived in, we had a very high end toaster oven that we had won at a bingo night on our college campus. The toaster oven had speakers in it and would read out the mode it was set to and how long was left on the timer. You see where this is going. One night, after a few (perhaps too many) pints, he had decided to play his guitar through the toaster oven. I don't know what mods he had to make, but in a bout an hour he had it going. It sounded closest to that tiny bluetooth speaker played early in the episode, but it was hilarious. Toaster oven part still works, and I believe my mate still uses it regularly (for toasting, not guitaring). Great episode!

[@MyWordPressGuy]

What a joy... I really enjoyed watching you guys play in your environment. This took me back to when my dad wired in a quarter-inch jack to my big huge Motorola record player. You're a great team and I love that you're both just big kids at heart... with impressive intellect. Thanks as always for what you do. Edward in San Diego, California

[@jonathanyork3636]

This is a wicked fun episode- I thought it was gonna be all about IRs and amp sims, but you had a lot of fun - and honestly I was shocked how clean and nice it sounded just plugging into a speaker. Fascinating-

[@Mindartcreativity]

What a fun episode! Ending is ace😂 17 years ago I started playing the guitar. My parents got me a western electro-acoustic guitar. After some weeks of playing „dry“ of course I found out that you could plug this acoustic guitar into an amplifier. My sister had a karaoke system which conveniently had a line input. Of course I plugged my guitar into it and suddenly I was able to make louder noise than before. THIS was true POWER! I was learning to play Metallica on the acoustic guitar and suddenly Seek&Destroy sounded actually good (or so I though anyways haha)

[@jcwear89]

I did this too! Westfield electro-acoustic

[@nedim_guitar]

This episode was very unique! You just look at an isolated clip of the guys showing that you can play your pedalboard through the TV, and you might think that's it's an April's fool joke. But this is no joke! Things can be done. Very creative, guys!

[@mikesmith2430]

Age 12 I had a mono cassette recorder with a mic you could plug in to talk into. I put the mic inside my very cheap acoustic guitar and turned the recording level up and played a root and fifth bar chord and played along to living after midnight by judas priest. Thanks for bringing back those memories guys 😍

[@horizontalblanking]

This takes me back! My first guitar amp was a Boss MA-5 Micro Monitor - it was 1982. I took its line out and ran it into my bargain basement, catalog store stereo. I plugged headphones into the MA-5 to turn of the speaker… then DIME’D the MA-5 volume to completely overload the stereo’s input. It was glorious to my 14 year-old ears.

[@Rockfish66]

This was the most fun I've seen these 2 have in a long time. A great lesson in humble, innocent 'play' from 2 guys with $100k of gear behind them...

[@henninghesse9910]

I plug into my 1964 Grundig Stereo tube radio, with 2 x15" speakers and various Pedals infront of it. Sounds Killer!

[@joelhabrial3897]

I love how much fun you guys clearly had with this! Great episode!

[@EmanuelKuhn]

Man what fun that was. Love those creative explorations. I recently saw an old cassette deck that was used as a tape delay. This could be a fun project for you guys. Keep rockin'!

[@gregantonowicz2818]

My friend and I both plugged our service merchandise guitars into our parents home stereos and radios before we had real amps. I blew up one of the channels on my parents receiver/8 track player, but they never figured out it was me that did it! I eventually figured out how to overload the signal and make it distort way before learning about pedals. Thats how I got the nickname "Mickey", as in Mickey Mouse. My alternate job in our band was Mickey Mousing electronics in order to get them working/do what we wanted them to do. These days, when I'm not Mickey Mousing our guitars, pedals, and amps, I tune electron multipliers for machines owned by NASA and MOOG among others. Thanks for the great show guys!

[@BigfootEngineering]

Absolutely loved that! ♥️ Dan’s enjoyment playing through the TV was amazing! 😂 This really takes me back, nothing was safe in our house- my poor parents 🙈 What a brilliant video, thank you!

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

my first "rig" was plugging in a free, big hollow body guitar into mt Radio Shack Stereo. I didn't have any pedals, just played clean guitar over rock riffs. I love you guys! You crack me up, which is much needed these days. Happy to report I've upgraded to a Two-Rock CRS head and cab in burgundy suede, Thanks for the great info and inspiration. Long live TPS!

[@dh1665]

Absolutely love this video! This is your wheelhouse, as far as I’m concerned. Watching the two of you work your way through a journey of discovery, Dan having moments of recollection of the huge vault of technical know how that he holds and Mick keeping things comprehensible to the viewer. These are the videos I get excited about on the channel.

[@ThatPedalShow]

I’m glad 35 years of playing and journalism has left me with no technical know how. Mick here. This is my ego talking.

[@dmac3316]

Cool vid guys. That was great! That projector sounded unreal. The megaphone was awesome lol. Really fun watch. Cheers!

[@Glenn54321]

Love the video! As a kid I seem to remember plugging my first electric guitar (Satellite LP copy anybody?😅) into the mic socket of the family music centre. By engaging the record & pause buttons (I think!) along with the tape monitor switch & adjusting the recording levels, it was possible to be heard through the 2 speakers. Of course, I may just have imagined all this, because it was a very long time ago...😂

[@JiminTennessee]

I don't think I have smiled this much watching a KZbin video in quite some time...well done y'all :)

[@halofour01]

When my family did a road trip from FL to Maine I made a homemade travel amp by soldering an input jack to the play head of an inexpensive walkman knockoff. Add a switch to turn the motor off for battery life. I learned Diary of a Madman in the back seat going up I-95.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

I could honestly see your inner child shining through when you were filming this lads. That may be the secret to staying young, just plug into whatever can make a sound.

[@SgtJADAN200]

I love this video! I love just trying stuff because you can. Not to prove a point or chase a sound. Just thinking outside of the box and who knows... you might discover something!

[@Imtheboss333]

Tks guys! My tube blew up last night as I was practicing, and all I had was old Bluetooth speaker and wire. It worked and has some more sound then just electric guitar with no amp sound! Ty!

[@ERICKATERLE]

Fun episode!!! Brought back memories from the 80’s being a teen and plugging my guitar into my tape deck recorder into my stereo system with some chorus and delay to sound like Purple Rain or Zeppelin or whatever . Good times for sure!

[@kjypeace]

After getting my first electric I remember sitting next to a hollow wall in my house and pressing my headstock against it for amplification. Worked best with gypsum walls.

[@darryltolbert8950]

I love this episode! The creativity and exploration. It definitely put me in the mind of what it was like back then.

[@jeffreyswansey5195]

Most enjoyable episode I've seen in a while, Loads of fun. Took me back about 53 years 😆

[@yohnsvain9651]

Watching Mick play, “human Leslie speaker cab,” was simply the best!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

I'm *still* laughing

[@DavesGuitarGear]

I remember using a 3 channel maplin microphone mixer which had just 3 level controls for each mic, it was powered by a 9v battery, into our home stereo system, a Goodmans I think, and turning the mixer up full. It sounded fuzzy and awesome!! I remember learning the intro to Layla playing along with the record!! It just makes me think of the saying “Necessity is the mother of invention”

[@schwabit989]

In a pinch and away from power, I have always enjoyed my VOX amPlug AC30 headphone amp.

[@scottcurry4116]

Great show Gents! I look forward to these shows every week. My first “amp” was an old desktop PA that teachers would use in large classrooms. My guitar teacher sold it to me as a really cheap option. I blew the speaker in a few weeks trying to learn Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult!

[@austinbridge]

This was such a unique, informative video. Very cool, guys. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@topfacemod]

The first electric guitar amps WERE literally radios that ran off dry-cell batteries in the 30s before those first circuits deleted the radio in the tube circuit. Leo Fender (a radio repairman) made some of the first dedicated electric guitar/lapsteel amplifiers.

[@kevinlt143]

1:09 I see you have a machine that goes "ping!"

[@ChrisLinker1]

Great show.. I laughed and hit the like button when you plugged into the television. Awesome 👍

[@tonymoore78]

Such a great exploration in classic TPS style! Love it!

[@blues61]

Nice! This is a really innovative episode. Loads of fun and play. 🙂 Thanks.

[@Damaraja]

This one is conjuring up lots of memories for me. I plugged into everything when I was a kid. Lots of fun. Thanks 🔊

[@tatters72]

Amazing. Took me back to 1987. Soldering an aux jack in place of a 1/4" jack and plugging straight into one of the auxiliary inputs on the back of my yellow Phillips Ghettoblaster (D8304, the wonders of Google) to be able to play outside in the summer. I still own the Kramer and still own, and use daily, the Boss DS1 that I abused it with. Great episode. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@slaphand5311]

My dad had this Radionette cabinet with radio on one side and a record player and a tape recorder on the other side. That tape recorder became my first amp...

[@GuitarsOK]

Yesss! What can I listen to That Pedal Show through?!? My tv, my iPad, iPhone, my treadmill tablet, my truck radio, my bedroom Bluetooth, my AirPods, my tv on my refrigerator, my Nikon camera, my overhead projector shining on my Shop door (outdoor style for lots of people)….😂😂! 👏 You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work

[@SquareWaveSymphonies]

Fantastic video! That finale is pure entertainment gold! 😂

[@grahamkelly8299]

I think it’s great if you are travelling and you can’t bring your amp and pedalboard with you, but you have songs you need to learn with solo parts ect. Being able to bring everything you need in your guitars gig bag is pretty cool for that!!

[@schwabit989]

The bullhorn segment was cool. One of these rigged with a wireless output and placed on a drill, cheap turntable, or pottery wheel would create a cheap Leslie type sound.

[@jettberg4581]

That TV will cut through any mix. Lots of fun guys.

[@robertsiesling3960]

Nice show, brings back memories. I started plugging in an old tube radio, it sounded a bit boxy but distorted nice. Even gigged with it.

[@guitarnutbolinuli5788]

Great video, had me reminiscing. Before my first amp I plugged into the aux input on a cassette deck, had to push record to get it to work.

[@davidkieltyka9]

Such a timely episode! Almost all my gear is packed for an impending move. But I’ve still got one guitar, four pedals (OD, delay, reverb, boost) and an old Red Box cab emulator plugged into a pair of Audix monitors. Sounds pretty darn good!

[@adeptgopnik]

love the video guys. One of my fave episodes you guys did. Lol, who hasnt been in this situation needing something to plug into and getting a bit on the creative side. The video was just as creative of an idea as well! Cheers!

[@gabormata6029]

My amp was being serviced so I couldn't help but connect my dad's old radio from the 80s to my 2x12. Soft distortion in front of it, worked like magic

[@nabilcharbel4136]

Great fun chaps, the bullhorn was hillarious, thanks a bunch

[@jacobpittman1996]

In the mid-90’s, I used a 1/4” phono adapter onto a 1/8” TRS to RCA 3 foot cable, into the back of my dad’s 1960’s Pioneer solid state stereo receiver on the Aux input. MY FIRST ELECTRIC AMPLIFICATION!! Then a friend lent me a Zoom guitar strap mounted multi-effects unit. I was in guitar heaven.

[@johnw777]

Mick's playing thru the filmosound with the LP was insane, I remember plugging into my old Pioneer all in 1 home stereo unit, using the mic inputs, a Y cable, and a MXR Distortion +

[@benspeeds]

This was a lot of fun and definitely brought back memories of questionable and potentially dangerous "Let's see if we can plug into that!" scenarios. Loved this episode! Great idea guys!

[@crouton3455]

Would love to see my bandmates reaction if i said a bought a vintage tele and then turned up with a television

[@mathewjones8886]

One of the best KZbin videos I've ever seen. There will be thousands of electrical devices blowing up this weekend as we all try to figure out what else you could possibly plug your guitar into. I'm off to see if I can run it through the car stereo using the USB aux. If I manage it the missus is in the back from now on and the passenger seat is reserved for my strat to make getting stuck in traffic a bit more bearable. Imagine how fun traffic jams would be if they all resulted in an impromptu jam session.

[@YanYeiDei]

This is such a good idea for a video, that I am honestly surprised that it hasn't been done yet. When I was growing up I did exactly this! One thing I found that I could plug into was my home stereo. You would be challenged to find one now day's like the one I had. But it worked!

[@davidsummerville351]

In 1971 I soldered the wires from the needle line of a record player to a jack and had an amplifier for a year and a half. It was an old hack from back in the day.

[@rmg222]

I used to teach in my office, after work hours, plugged a Joyo preamp pedal (brittish overdrive) into a bluetooth speaker ˆˆ, worked pretty well, no power cables needed

[@gibbysg8143]

As someone with an orange rockerverb collecting dust in my apartment( I have a Princeton I’ve been using at home mainly). But I have started dabbling with guitar plug ins on PC and was blown away by the neural dsp mesa boogie one!! I just have a small focusrite interface and it’s a great solution for those challenged by volume constraints!

[@sidgruich5615]

Great show guys, a lot of fun. reminds us all, when we are knee deep in cables and pedals, that sometimes we should just cut the crap and just rock out with what we got.

[@tedc6694]

Thanks for the videos, the laughs, and the inspiration. Traveling around the USA for weeks at a time in my Kenworth and tractor trailer I use a 10ft lead with 1/4" on one side and 1/8" on other side. I can sit on my bed in the sleeper and plug my guitar directly into my radio aux input on the dash. My MIM Strat has seen all the contiguous 48 and NEARLY every Canadian province bordering the US. I tried the IK Pro and messing around with all the cables and using headphones sucked all the fun out for me. In the 70s I remember plugging into my folks HiFi 1/4" input. When distortion happened and happens now in the truck it is unique. Honestly I wish I had that sound as an option I could achieve at home! (I have a Hotrod Deluxe, Rocker 32, Blackstar HT5R, Bogner Line6 DT50 212, Marshall MG10cd, 11 Rack and rack power amp, Line6 HD500X, original Yamaha THX10 and none of them come with me anymore. Just a guitar and a chord. Keeps me in practice and helps pass the time when sitting at a loading dock for 8 hours or over the weekend in NoWheresVille 1500 miles from home) One day I'll pick my first stand alone pedal (instead of hd500 or 11rack) and I expect it will be like the opening of flood gates. Maybe a green pedal? Or an OCD. Or a D&M Drive!

[@ikbogle]

Feckin ace guys, great show, brings me back to plugging into the boom box. Have a great weekend. You can use the siren for Jailbreak bridge at the next TPS gig

[@teledriver1398]

Holy crap! When you did the Leslie effect with the bullhorn I literally had a bit of a wee in my shorts! Guys, keep 'em coming!!!

[@soulassasin10]

Took me back to my younger days, lovely show lads 🤘😂🔥

[@jonschwieb323]

Brilliant. When I was a teenager in the 80s dual tape decks were all the rage. I had one from a brand called Emerson. I could plug straight into it, record a guitar part to a tape (from the speaker through the built in condensor mic), then play back the tape and play along with it. I could even record the overdub, and then do it again and again. A chorus pedal and a distortion (both from Arion) to spice it up. Hours of fun and creativity.

[@kimbalbrown2338]

I thought Friday's episode was amazing but this...this is the most amazing, epic thing I've ever seen.

[@michaeleaster1815]

Highly relevant topic! Looking forward to this... thank you

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

I know we talked about it earlier, but a friend of mine has a couple of old projector amps that have been converted into proper guitar amp heads. Great stuff. Plugging into random stuff is fun!

[@bassnsax]

Out of a combination of needing to be able to play silently with headphones and sheer laziness, I've got my guitar plugged into a Snouse BlackBox OD 2 into a DI, into my interface and out to my studio monitors. Works for me! Great video, and I loved to see you both stretch out of your comfort zones, smashing job! Matching impedence is super important to getting a good sound - I've got a piezo pickup on my upright bass, and I always run into a combination preamp/high pass filter that converts the 1Meg Ohm signal to 10K (or 100K?) Ohm signal, so I can run through pedals and into a standard bass amp.

[@TechMetalRules]

Such a fun video! Epic ending, haha!

[@peckermusic]

That was so brilliant! My first rig was plugging a Rose Morris SG copy straight into an Amstrad stereo. It had the most fantastic straight into the desk distortion sound when cranked (think Beatles 'Revolution').

[@billsherrington5996]

Loving the Mick "Leslie" Taylor slot at the end!🤣

[@timothycallahan6234]

This is an amazing episode. The world needs just a little more silly, a little more ad hoc, a little more 'Let's just make noise with it!' I love it!

[@j.justinzimmerman9836]

My take on Dan’s playing is the result of puzzling over the baz-zillions of different styles that come out of him. I think, although he may seem a bit scattered in his playing, Dan is racing through his vast knowledge of Music each time he’s called upon to “make some noise” so that we can hear the next 3,423rd “pedal of the day”. I know for a fact that when he needs to focus…he’s Focused! From what I’ve seen, Dan’s a friggin’ Genius. G3 anyone?!! JJZ…(°¿.°`)

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks so much Justin 🤗🙏

[@j.justinzimmerman9836]

@@ThatPedalShow Mick and Dan, I have to say that when I saw the genuine, and heartfelt praise dawned upon you two by Mr. Paul Reed Smith, I got all fuzzy inside. Ha ha! Seriously, He made quite a few SPOT-ON Points about the importance of Your contributions to this Global Community most of us just see as T.V. “…you’re in the Hub of this thing !”, he said.

My first "guitar amp" was a Pioneer audio system with a turntable, tape player, AM/FM radio, and... a quarter inch microphone jack. It did me well! Still sometimes enjoy playing through it.

[@bradylambert6820]

Really digging this episode. Reminds me of plugging my guitar into the soundcard on my parents computer back in high school (1999) and then trying to figure out why it sounded so bad and how to make it work. I recently bought a 90s synth/keyboard and have gone on a little journey of trying to figure out what to listen to it through. Started with the headphones I use for my turntable. Then ran the 1/4" into a DOD envelope filter, a DS-1, a flanger, and cheap delay into a Blackstar modeling amp I had laying around. Ended up finding a used pair of Mackie CR-3 monitors for cheap and am now running the pedals on one side of it for a nice stereo sound. Though now I'm thinking of what kind of bass lines I could get out of that sub in the living room... Always fun to make the most of what you've got around.

[@JonNewquist]

My first amp was a Panasonic cassette recorder. 😁 Diggin' this episode!

My 1st amp was a tube radio called an EMVD Rekord Senior that my grabd father had purchased in West Germany when he was stationed there in the late 40s. It is probably around 1W and sounds lovely. Thankfully I still have it.
