Can you play along with it? I noticed it doesn't have an audion in. I live in an apartment and having an amp is not an option.

I too live in an apartment I can get away with an amp during the day as long as I don't get to crazy with the volume. I'm pretty sure you can hook a set of head phones directly to it although I've never used it that way. I know you can plug it into a PC/Mac because I use it with garage band and a pair of headphones on my Mac all the time and it works perfectly. Unless they have started including the updated software out of the box a PC/Mac and Internet connection is a must for this unit as you can update the firmware on the unit to allow you to use more effects at once which I did before I used it. I love this pedal it is built like a tank I think it would still work if I threw it down a flight of stairs, it has a ton of usable effects some people have complained it sounds to "digital" but for the $120 I paid for it I couldn't be happier one boss distortion pedal would be almost $100 and all but a handful of people wouldn't be able to tell the distortion or whatever effect was being made by a multi effect pedal as opposed to a dedicated pedal, and the fact that it feels like a real stomp box to use is awesome. Sorry I guess I answered more then your original question but I love this pedal and recommend buying it.

You can not input audio to play along with. You can set a tempo to pre-set rythms, and also up to 40 seconds, loop it and play along with it using head phones.

Yes, just use headphones and plug your guitar into it and play. You dont need an amp. Or you can plug the output into an input or aux on your stereo if you keep the volume low. Fun looper and select few drum beats to play along with. Really cool pedal. THe key with all pedals is to get a really good guitar cable, it will help eliminate noise for the effects and channel input & pickups. Have a blast!

There is a headphone jack port that you can use to hook up to the sound system. Not sure how well it would work though. I have not tried that myself. I usually hook it up to my peavy keyboard amp.

You need an amp/receiver with speakers.....or you can use just headphones with the unit

You would need to own an amplifier and speakers. This is not a stand alone unit. It is a component for a component entertainment system.

You would need an amplifier and speakers. Or use headphones, since it has a headphone jack.

Yes, hook it up using either Aux or a line input. Play everything through it.

There is an input to bypass the amp called "speaker level input" but that would really take away the nice part of this speaker. I would try to get a line level output from the mixer if possible and use the subs power

Only by headphone. It is a deck, not a player. You would need an external amplifier.

Yes you can but don't buy it from E&B; electronics. They will send you a defective amplifier and then direct you to the manufacturer. Try another seller. I have a defective one from them. I have a friend that has the same amplifier and it is awesome.

you can use a mixer or a preamp. you should not plug this in directly to speakers

Well, it doesn't have its own speaker so it can't work by itself. But if you have a portable computer speaker that is self-powered, you should be able to connect that to the amPlug and hear what you're playing. But since there's no speaker, you either need a speaker or a pair of headphones for it to work :)

we plugged ours into an amp and it worked fine...maybe check your cord or maybe there is a defect in the one you got?

Check the description for sure. When I purchased my kit I did not purchase the amp/speaker. When the price for the amp went down from some astronomical sum I did buy it...but since I don't want to bother my neighbors I almost always use earphones. And the sound that comes from this speaker is pretty weak. It's a great practice set though.

It has really, really, horrible onboard speakers. They are worse than the cheapest speakers you can plug into an mp3 player. I am not exaggerating. I think the only way to get it to play through better speakers would be to plug it into a receiver or TV. It is absolutely too cheap to bother trying to get it to play through good speakers; I ran it through my TV sound system and the sound was horrible. I beg of you, do not buy this! It is the absolute cheapest thing they could manufacture and still have it work. It is really toy-like. Save another 150 bucks and get something that works OK for around 250 or so.

I would recommend a higher quality amp. it pushes 12's okay but audio quality is not there.

You can practice with it, but very little sound. It's not necessary, but it's really made to be played through an amp. It would be the same if you didn't plug in an electric bass guitar. Thanks Sam.
