lets clarify that a little. do not run it into a guitar amp thinking you can just run the SPEAKER out to the mpc. youll kill your mpc that way. what you need is a D.I. box or an amp with a line level out/tuner out. or run it into a mixing console and then run one of the lines out of that to your mpc.

if you bought a gibson i assume you already have one of those things sonikboom suggested. or if you want to be extremely cheap and budget about it you can run it through anything that has a mic pre to get loud enough to record decently (i use my sp-303 for bass and guitar, but you could probalbly even use the mic in on a crappy dj mixer if you needed to).

as long as you get the signal loud enough you should be straight.

This is the best way to get your guitar signal into the mpc, cause it models the amp, the speaker and the mic. The fx are awesome too, and you can midi sync it to your mpc. I just got one a couple of weeks ago, it's awesome!

my brother has a guitar and i ran the rca outs from his amp into my 1ks 1/4" ins with no problems.

You can hit 2 birds with one stone if ya pick up an affordable Roland Cube, which is a small amp (with effects as well). It has a REC OUT on the back, which acts as a DI box so you get two in one. Then ya can route it through yo 1k for recordin' wise. Hope this helps

i had a roland cube, and they are deinfitely worth the money. i had the small guitar one, but the speaker was able to handle me playing bass through it really well (and usually playing bass through a guitar speaker will destroy it, but the cube could handle it fine).

those things are definitely a bargain.

According the the website, it handles guitar, keys, and bass.
