Can you plug headphones into an electric violin?
Musical instruments have an extremely high impedance, while headphones have a very low impedance. The electrical signal produced by an electric violin is therefore incompatible with headphones. Without an electronic circuit, headphones will not be able to control the impedance of an electric violin.
How do I connect my electric violin to my amp?
If you want to use an effects pedal, you will need to connect your electric violin into the input jack of the effects pedal, then use a second jack cable to connect your effects pedal and your amp.
