I plan on getting a decent interface soon-ish but I would like something in the meantime just for messing around at night really. I have a Marshall Valvestate VS30R that has two 1/4 inch outputs, one is labeled Line Out, the other Headphones. My PC has a Line In port and I was wondering could I plug either of the amps outputs, or even the guitar direct into my PC's Line In with a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter I have but I've seen conflicting answers.
I know that Headphones are usually considered low level, nearly if not completely unamplified signals, and I'm assuming Line Out on the amp is post-amplification so high level, and so I'm unsure if the Line In on the PC is expecting a low level or high level signal.
I figure if I try the Line Out and keep the the amp turned down while plugging in I and turn it up as I check I should be alright with not blowing anything but I'm not 100% certain and would like some feedback.
Any info on this or if anyone has done or still does this would be super helpful =)
