I’m trying to connect my acoustic amp to my computer so I can record my guitar. I already have software but I need to find a cable of an adapter to connect the amp to the sound card in my computer. The only line out is a 1/4" jack. If anyone can help, I’d really apritiate it.

Okay. I’m assuming your line-in is a 3.5MM/1/8" jack. The way I would approach this is to attach a 3.5MM to 3.5MM patch cable to your sound card’s line in. Attach a 3.5MM to 1/4" headphone adapter to the patch cable. This should work.

You can buy these parts for about ten bucks at any radioshack. Monoprice has them for about 1.50$+ 6$ shipping. They also have great things like 4$ HDMI cables, though, so you should probably stock up with 20$ of cables there so you’ll always have things like TRS patch cables or RCA barreks for instruments issues like this.
