SOME SORT OF 3.5MM TO 3.5MM JACK LEAD I IMAGINE THAT YOU ATTACH TO THE THE HEADPHONE SOCKET OF YOUR AMP AND THE MIC SOCKET OF YOUR LAPTOP (IF IT HAS ONE)

MIGHT WANT TO TRY THE LINE-OUT FIRST IF YOUR AMP HAS GOT ONE. SOMETIMES THE POWER OUT OF HEADPHONES SOCKETS CAN BE TOO MUCH FOR A MIC INPUT, AND DISTORT THE MUZAK.

EDIT: YOU'D NEED A 2 PLUG PHONO TO 3.5MM JACK LEAD FOR DOING THAT THOUGH, NATCH.

YOU CAN GET LITTLE DOUBLE PHONO TO STEREO MINIJACK ADAPTORS IF YOU CAN'T FIND A PHONO TO MINIJACK LEAD.

BLIMEY, IT'S LOUD IN HERE!!!

Pissing hellfire, keep it down a bit will yer?  Some of us are trying to get back to sleep!

[Hornet]

Sorry about the SHOUTING!

Phono leads from the 'tape out' or 'line/rec out' on your amp, to a 3.5mm mini jack in the 'line in' on your soundcard.
