How do I run backing tracks through my amp?

[Richard_Luther]

Gear:

Quilter Labs 101 Reverb head with a headphone input.
iPhone with backing tracks.

I'd like to push the backing tracks through the Quilter and practice tunes into my headphones.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

As far as I can make out, your amp doesn't have an aux in, and I don't know if you can just plug your iPhone directly into the loop return input. I'm not a tech, but I would suspect not.

Have a look at this thread, maybe post nº 12:

Thank you. I will.

That's not a headphone input, it's a headphone output. Maybe using the FX loop return, that's the only possibility, other than using a y cable to run both the phone and the guitar into the input. I would suggest using a separate powered speaker or amp for the phone.

\. I would suggest using a separate powered speaker or amp for the phone.

So a two channel mixer might work?

Plug the guitar into the Quilter, and my iPhone into my Roland Cube Lite. Have both headphone outputs plugged into a two channel mixer and then plug my headphones into the mixer.

What do you think?

You want it all to be through headphones? That does change things, but there are multiple ways to get it all into one output. What you propose should work, and it's not that hard to find out if it works.
