Hi. I haven't bought my [Reverend... G&L Tribute... Godin... other....] yet, but I'm also thinking about an amp. After playing along to the stereo, it occurs to me that an amp that has an input for a CD or MP3 player might be a good idea.

Questions:
1. Is that a good idea? Playing along with recorded music as a way to learn....
2. Recommendations for decent practice amps with a CD/MP3 input capability.

Thanks!
David

heyheymymy...Neil Young fan I take it. me too.
playing along with CD's is an excellent way to learn, be challenged and have fun playing with your heroes.
before computers that's the only way we did it. before CDs I played over vinyl LPs.!

I donot know of an amp that will do what you want. I place my amp between my stereo speakers and have at it.
Im in the mix.

Yes, it's a great idea.

Check out the Marshall MG--DFX range, they have CD input.

Best,

DigiTech JamMan, just bought one.
has input for cd player so you can play along with CDs. i have not had time yet to mess with it much but i believe you can adjust the playback speed as well.

i agree with alan the mg's a sound starter amp id go for the mg 30 over the mg 15 its alot better sound quality then plug into your stereo and have some fun dont play your cd's too loud through amp though cause youll drown out your own sound. ive spent months thinking i was sounding good then when i turned the cd's down i really heard whar was goin on ha
