Oh thanks! I did some tests after your recommendation, and you were right! For the cable, you don't need stereo, mono works fine, just using a simple adapter for 1/4 to 1/8 works! But yeah, the way the spider 3 inputs are wired, it appears that the signal of the mp3/cd input is somehow connected with the guitar input, so if there is no guitar cable plugged in guitar in, the circuit is broken, and no sound! But just plugging in a dummy 1/4 to 1/8 adapter in the guitar jacks fixes things. So just using a 1/4 cable with a 1/4 -> 1/8 adapter to cd/mp3, BUT it requires either a guitar cable connected in amp guitar in of the amp, or in my case, just a 1/8 -> 1/4 adapter plugged in guitar in. My goal was to eventually use normal speakers, as the L6 Spider isn't the greatest, but yeah I think this will work much better than PodGo to amp's guitar in! Thanks! :D

Hi, just got a Pod Go which I'm trying to use with a 15 year old Line 6 Spider III, which still rocks! ;) My issue is that there's basically no way, as far as I know, to have the Spider Amp just play the Pod Go's output without imparting its own modeled amp sound. I tried using an adapter to output the sound to the "cd in / mp3" input, but I got no sound! So I'm using the guitar in of the Spider and the Go's main out, but that means double amps; amp + cab from Go, plus the amp modeling from the Spider... So I'm left with, I think, trying to find the most neutral amp out of the amp's... I think putting bass/mid/treble to middle, no effects, and drive to minimum would impart the less color, but even with that, the Spider's amp modeling seems to impart a lot of flavor to the sound... Would anyone has any tips or recommendations to get the most out of this setup? The L6 Spider III has the following, which are likely not too different from later Spiders. Big thanks in advance! :)
