Has anyone ever plugged their guitar directly into the line in on their PC? Obviously you'd need a 1/4in to 3.5mm plug but I was wondering mainly if anyone had done it and not had their soundcard blow up. :)
(I also couldn't see a better suited board for this q. but if it is in the wrong one, sorry. :( )

Check out the "In the Studio" forum. I think I've seen that question asked there. Maybe the Mods can move your post there & get your question answered if you can't find the thread there.

Yes, you can. It won't sound great, but it's ok.
You can use: http://www.jesusonic.com/ as well to give you some effects.
yeh I used to do that quite often, I've plugged my guitar directly into the microphone plug on the soundcard as well as from the headphone output on my amp. I used a program call guitarfxbox to add some pretty cool distortions to it. I few days ago I bought a TASCAM Us-122 usb audio interface which is 100 times better than this method. I got it for $200 from the GC here. I've made a number of recordings on it.
Plugging your guitar into the soundcard won't hurt it, but if u want to do some higher quality recordings look at some audio interfaces.
Good Luck!

I've plugged my Amp headphone out into the soundcard. Couldn't get the PC to pick up the guitar straight...
