∙ 13y agoAssuming you mean Electric Guitar amps. You can plug a mic into any amp but you may encounter feedback problems. Tips: Never point a mic directly at an amp. Avoid using a channel with a "Gain" volume. This will feedback. Bass and Keyboard amps usually have no gain channel and therefore respond better to a mic. There are amps that have specific Mic inputs. Usually acoustic of keyboard amps. Learn about high and low impedance mics. Just putting a 1/4 cable on mic isn't enough. You need to match the impedance.
