Hello, i recently have bout an mpc 1000 for the first time and was wondering if i could use my guitar amp as speakers instead of having to go out and buy studio moniter speakers.

And if so, how would i connect it to my 1000?

my amp is the 15 watt peavey vypyr

just plug a 1/4" cable from one of the outputs of the mpc (the L or R) and into the guitar amp.

keep the volume on the mpc low. there's going to be no bass. if you want bass, consider monitors, a bass amp, or a keyboard amp.

but it will work.

Man i've been using THESE speakers for literally 10 years. Not exactly a recommendation but i've seen people using PC speakers even(id recommend a $30 set of walmart computer speakers over the amp honestly), but thats just me. Use what you can, learn to work with what you've got until you figure out what you really want and can afford it. I would not recommend most guitar amps as most guitars put out something less than line level signal and the amp does the work. MPC is going to be sending a much hotter signal. If you have to use one just make sure you turn the amp all the way down before you plug in the MPC, then slowly bring the levels on both devices up making sure you aren't sending too much signal to the amp. It will take VERY LITTLE MPC volume to overdo it. Put it on a clean channel and try to EQ it as flat as possible. Just be careful, as you don't want to blow your guitar amp. again, i do not recommend this.
