How to Plug an iPod Into a Guitar Amp

Purchase a cable with a stereo male 1/8-inch plug on one end and a mono 1/4-inch male plug on the other. Since the iPod plays music in stereo and standard guitar inputs are mono, this configuration will ensure that the left and right stereo signal are properly merged.
Turn the power off on both the iPod and amplifier and ensure the amplifier volume is at its lowest setting.
Plug the cable's 1/8-inch stereo plug into the iPod's headphone output jack and the 1/4-inch mono plug into the guitar amplifier input jack.
Turn the iPod power on and adjust the volume to the lowest setting.
Turn the amplifier power on and turn the volume up 3 to 4 notches.
Turn the iPod volume up until you begin to hear sound and adjust the amplifier volume and tone controls to achieve the desired loudness level and sound quality.
