Guitar Amp

Will I damage my amp (some small Marshall beginner/practice amp) if I plug my iPod into the "input" slot (as opposed to the "CD in" slot)? Just curious...
 
It will sound like a fart? I'm confused.


Have the volume on the ipod all the way down when you do. Then slowly work it up a little, then start working up the volume on the amp. You want a lower powered signal going into the amp, then use the amp to do the amplification, this'll keep it from getting all wonky sounding.
 
I don't think it'll sound bad, just weak. The CD jack is probably an amplified slot, where the input is probably just a line-in slot.

It's pretty lame really...I bought some headphones a while back with a 1/8" plug to 1/4" plug converter and I just wanted to play around with it (distorting songs, etc.). And yeah...it does sound terrible D:

Thanks for all the replies.
