Yes, you can use a guitar amplifier as a Guitar Speaker to listen to music. However, there are some risks involved in doing so. A guitar amplifier is specifically designed to output the frequencies produced by an electric guitar. Therefore, using it to play podcasts or albums can cause problems with the internal structure of the amplifier, especially if the music is bass-heavy.

There are a few more things you'll have to modify before you can use the amp as a speaker, such as getting 1/4-inch to 3.5-mm cables so you can connect it to your computer. The sound quality wasn't great, but it was good. Anyway, there are a few extra things you have to know about using an amplifier as a speaker to make it as soundless as possible. Check below for more information.


Can using an amplifier as a speaker damage it?

Technically, you can use a guitar amplifier as a speaker, but if you don't know what you're doing, you could blow up the amplifier. The reason for this is that the frequencies produced by the music vary much more than the frequencies produced by the guitar.

A song with a lot of bass can mean a problem with the cone of the amplifier, and if combined with high volume, it can tear. Therefore, if you are going to listen to music with an amplifier, I recommend that you play songs with lighter bass or you may run into problems.

Another way that people often mess up their amps is by underestimating the amount of voltage that can be output by the computer. Guitar Speakers can pick up significantly lower voltages from pickups. A typical computer will produce more power than a typical humbucker, so to avoid baking your amp, it is always a wise idea to lower the volume of the machine as much as possible when first plugging the amp into a computer. The proper steps include increasing the volume of the amp to medium and lowering the volume of the computer as much as possible.


Things to remember when using an amplifier as a speaker:

The first thing you must understand is that the sound quality will not be very good. Guitar amps are obviously designed for guitar playing, so only that kind of sound will sound good.

Another thing to remember is that you can't play music really loudly on an amplifier. While it may be fine on a guitar, the added range of sound is not appropriate for gear. Playing music too loud could affect the cone of the amp and maybe even tear it up like I described above.

Another very important thing to remember is that you must change the sound output of your computer to mono or some songs will sound funny. So if you keep your computer's sound in stereo, your amplifier will only output the side of the song you are playing.

Changing the computer's output to mono is very simple. Just click the Start button, press Settings, press Easy Access, then Audio on the left menu. After that, you should see the text "Turn on mono audio". After that, you're done.
