You could....you would just have to get the 1/4 inch stereo plug and splice it to some speaker wire and run it to the speaker. But that output is meant for driving only little headphone speakers. So there will not be alot of juice to power the speaker. Sooo you could get a 1/4 to RCA and plug that into an available input on your stereo. However, that headphone jack is powered and can, but shouldn't be used as a line out. "Line out", that is what you want to use to send an unpowered signal to some other device that will be used to amplify that signal. I don't know if your amp has that or not, but that is what you should use. If you don't, you might be able to use a D.I. box (I think that's what it's called) inbetween your guitar and the amp. You would still be able to hear you amp normally but you would also have an unamplified signal to send to a stereo or P.A. Since that signal would be before the amp you would not be able to use the effects of the amp. Which is the whole reason you have a line 6, right?
hello craig.
