I posted awhile back about plugging a guitar into a gaming chair like X Rocker or whatever. I think it would be pretty comfy. So could you plug into a DI box and then connect the box to the chair? Not sure if that would work? Thanks.
As long as the chair has it's own amp it should work. You might have to insert a pre-amp in the line in order to hear it though.... output from just the pickups are well below the line level or speaker out that the chair would be happy with.
ETA: If you let the "smoke" out of something that would be terrible, so I'm not taking the blame for this one! If in doubt do your "homework" and check/double-check specifications and tolerances of everything, call the maker and ask questions etc..
Did you do this?,, If you don't overload the speakers it would be good, they are built to get loud with games. You would need a inline amp like a pocket rocket or one of the vox headphone amps, would be some laid back rocking.
I haven't done it yet...would a DI box work? I'm not too technically inclined.
I was thinking something more along this line: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audi … t%20preamp
I have one and it works well for most things that need a little "push"..... also provides phantom power for microphones and active pickups, and has an internal (albeit switched) output limiter which protects things like PC Sound Cards from getting "fried". You could DI into it as it is a single in/out, but most DI boxes themselves do not amplify only merge the signals.
I am not sure it will work
Though i have no experience of it but idea is not bad!
Try this, use a distortion or boost or compression/sustainer pedal. most stomps have out level knobs. use it in the middle, run the 1/4 To 1/8 jack to your chair.set chair vol at 1/2, and the stomp at 0. turn all on, and gradually increase the out level of your stomp till if sounds nice, and then use chair volume for the rest.
That should work.
Try at your own risk
