Hello, I would like to connect my Samsung J6 smartphone to my 1982 Musicman 112rp guitar amplifier. This amplifier has 2 guitar inputs, a 100 mV Lo Level Line in and Line out, and a 3V Hi Level Line in and Line out. Will my phone support the connection? And what would be the best connection? Guitar input or 100 mV or 3V? Thank you in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    Your phone theoretically shouldn't risk anything as it outputs sound intended for headphones.
    Try the "Hi Level Line in" first, turn up the phone's volume, and if that's not powerful enough, plug it into "Lo Level Line in" and increase the phone's volume but not too much to avoid overloading your amp's input.
    And for your information, "Line out" is an output for recording or an additional amp.
