THe Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue series have stereo RCA inputs for
hooking up CD players. My computer sound system has a remote control
with a headphone jack and I use that to connect the audio out of my
computer to the RCA jacks....works like a champ.

Depending on what the amp really wants to see, it might or might not be
bet best connection. If they're RCA jacks, they probably want to see a
line-level input, like from a component CD player. If it's a mini-phone
plug, it probably wants to see an amplified signal, like a Walkman or
iPod. The latter would be best for a computer's headphone output, but
the former will probably work OK, too, as long as you're careful not to
overdrive the amp by turning the computer sound up too high.

its a behringer gm108.
it has an instrument input and a cd input.
thanks for the confirmation. i'll try this out.

I have that one too.
it goes with the decoy guitar that the grandkids play with.

That's mono imput so you will loose a channel if you try to run anything stereo thru it.

Don't worry about overdriving that amp with a headphone output, it seems to be able to handle it ok.

It's a good thing you are just using it for practice. The sound quality fom the CD input on that amp is not good.
