What do I need to play an electric guitar thru my Crown XLS1002?

[Steve Lee]

Yes, sir - my pleasure.

[howard]

That is it. Thank you.

[Steve Lee]

Line-out from a practice amp to Line-in on the Crown.

[howard]

My son does not care about the Crown. I was trying to find out what it would take to be able to play his guitar thru the Crown.

[Steve Lee]

To do WHAT, exactly?

[howard]

He bought a 20 watt tube amp. Orange something? Just trying to see what it would take to do it.

[Steve Lee]

Why don't you take all three of your practice amps that you have already replaced the blown speakers-in and give them all to your son?

[howard]

I still don't know what you mean.

[Steve Lee]

Well, you already know what works and what doesn't at this point, then.
Just share your successes with us, OK?
We love a happy ending, man.

[howard]

Yes I can but I already have 3 practice amps. A Peavey, Crate and Laney. I changed blown speakers in them.

[Steve Lee]

Howard - can you afford this? --> https://www.parts-express.com/FootNo...r-Supp-249-404

[howard]

Thank you. I guess I will just forget it.

Not really. The EQ section of a guitar amp is totally different from that of a PA mixer. What would work is a guitar amp simulator, either a rack mount or pedal. Make sure it has a line level XLR output.

[howard]

Thanks Bill. Would a Behringer 802 mixer help any?

For what you'll spend getting a suitable pre-amp and speaker you can find a used, perhaps even new, combo guitar amp. What's his skill level and experience? Not everyone needs a Vox AC30 or Fender Twin. Trying to use your Crown because you have it on hand may not be the best option.
