Recording Real Amp Sounds Through UX2

[MetaWolfy]

So I would like to record my guitars sound coming from my amp straight into my computer. Obviously, this is why I'm using a UX2.

 

Problem is, when I go from the "emulated headphones" output on the amp to the UX2 input, it seems that the UX2 does not process anything. The needles do not move at all, both at 0.

 

I have tried both PAD an NORMAL inputs. 

It picks up when I use my guitar directly into the UX2.

The amp works on its own, it is just this connection between the amp and UX2.

 

Any ideas?

I would imagine the 'emulated headphones' output is stereo?  Are you using a stereo-to-mono adapter, or splitting the signal to go to 2 inputs on the UX2?

The emulated headphones output is actually a 3.5 mm like a guitar cord. I connect straight from this output to the PAD or NORMAL on the UX2. That's why i do not know why it picks up my guitar by itself, but not the guitar through the amp.

In addition (I hastily replied without reading your question) the cord is mono, or what I would assume is mono because it has only one ring on the inserting part. I am just using one input on the UX2, either the PAD or NORMAL.

 

I think I will at least try to split the output of the amp into the two line inputs on the back (2/R and 1/L) although i do not know if this is necessarily the correct way to fix this problem.

 

It still perplexes me that the UX2 will not even pick up the amp output. I would assume it is clipping, but the needle never even jumps. It's weird because actual headphones do work out of the jack. I'm stumped.

Yes, get a stereo to mono adapter or splitter, your TS cable is not connecting to the Ring of the headphone jack.
