Unplug your headphones and run 1/4" instrument cables from the Line Out's of the Toneport to your amp. Make sure your amp is on clean channel and you should be good to go.

QUOTE (Nighthawk @ Aug 19 2008, 09:56 PM)  Because I think this footswitch jack is also the one for external pedals?! No , don't try doing that!! Footswitch jack is only for the footswitch controler... You want to plug external pedals into effects loops (patch between send and return) jacks... But I don't recommend using toneport this way because it is not made to be used that way.(it may be done but its just weird)... Hope this helps a little

Toneports are recording devices.
But they can sound really good through quality headphones or monitors (recording speakers), or a good Hi-FI. To play through an amp a POD would be better, though many people also use their PODs through headphones/monitors to avoid coloring the amp modeling. A POD works without a computer. Toneport needs a computer to run gearbox. That's the main difference. -------------------- Guitars:

PODs are amp modeling & multieffect devices all in one. They don't really need an amp to be used, because they already model differebt kind of amps. That's why many people use them through quality monitors, which don't change the sound.
You could also use the POD through the clean channel of a guitar amp, and it should work really good too. The Toneport does the same thing: it models different amps and also loads of effects. But it is not designed to be used "alone", as you already know it needs a computer running Gearbox to operate and tweak the sounds. If you want to make the toneport sound through an amp you could, as has already been suggested, connect the line out (usually used for monitors/headphoned) to an amp, but it's not really intended for that. When I use my Toneport I listen to it either through some good headphones or through my computer speakers, which are not bad. In the future I plan on getting some nice monitors, as it seems to be the best option overall to get the best uncoloured sound from devices such as Toneports, PODs, Pandora, etc. Hope that helps

TOneport is a modeling device, which means it already models different amps and effects. I wouldn't recommend pluggin it into regular guitar amp, because it guitar amp has a speaker that has a limited sounds spectrum response, and will not reproduce the sound from the modelling device in full. As Fran said, good monitors are the best option, and if you don't have those, feel free to use regular speakers. Toneport is made for that, not for amp.

QUOTE (Nighthawk @ Aug 20 2008, 11:48 AM) What do you use to play live do you also use monitors? Or what do you use your amps for? For live gigs we use standard amps (and possibly effects pedals or rack units) of course..Monitors are not that powerful for doing a gig on them.Also we use our amps for practice sessions with other musicians..For home practicing toneport can do the trick...Also If you really like your amp you can use a microphone to capture its sound (using toneport).. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

What do you mean man. When playing live (on stage) I don't use modeling devices at all, they just don't feel right. I use only effects pedals and guitar amp.

If you want to keep the same sounds, you could trade your guitar amp in for a keyboard amp or a small PA setup - both would have a clean sound that would work with the pod.
You can continue to use your guitar amp on a clean setting, and you should give that a try but I don;t think the results will be as good as with a setup like the above ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
