MY question is...playing your guitar through a home stereo system....will this damage my Bose speakers....I have my small compact recording studio set up in the bedroom.I have a fostex mulittrack recorder and to monitor the demo's i use my stereo system with a set of Bose 301's..My question is, sometimes i will play my guitar through the stereo..and to my surprise it sounds great..I am using a Zoom 707 and i just plug it into the back of the power amp.I am wondering if the Zoom pedal changes the signal, so that it isnt hurting the speakers..I dont know alot abut inpedance and Ohms.

Mar 17, 2003 05:18 pm I know that it not proper thats why they make amps especially for guitars and amps for keyboards.It's just a way of getting some practise in, without disrupting the house..I have a 100watt Yamaha guitar amp and a 100watt crate amp, but rarely get to use them anymore.Maybe what i need to get is a couple Fender amp cans...that would work...LOL
Mar 17, 2003 10:20 pm Ya, the only thing you could wreck on the speakers is the tweeter if you really hit it hard. but I am assuming since you are doing it to keep the recket down in the house, you are playing at lower levels. So you should be just fine.
Mar 17, 2003 11:22 pm Ya you'll be fine. As long as the speakers are rated at a higher power handling capability than the amp can put out. I've never disagreed with noise before, but on this one I would say it is the bass tones that you need to watch. If the speakers start distorting back off the volume. You can hyper-extend the drivers. This has more to do with the inputs actually, but you can overdrive the speakers at lower frequencies.
Mar 17, 2003 11:39 pm If the input impedence/voltage is not matched, you will risk damaging the electronics of the amplifier, not the speakers.

Mar 18, 2003 09:06 pm Had me worried noise! I wondered what I was missing. Your always spot on.
