Of course, the sound you get may vary according to the response and rolloff of the guitar speaker. Also depends on if you are using a solid state amp or a tubed one. Those little "Gorilla" practice amps are meant to present distortion that mimics usng a larger one and the fidelity might leave you hanging. Generally speaking if it can reproduce lows without rumble and fuzz and most of the highs it will probably do better than you could probably notice. This time you have a device that's not going to buzzsaw a home stereo. If you are not perfoming in public with it you can do about what you like...use a stereo. It won't destroy your gear, it's just line level audio. Yes. Of course, the sound you get may vary according to the response and rolloff of the guitar speaker.

Most line level devices are at a +4 level. I have a set of V-Drums that I use through a guitar cab, and the only complaint I have is that you will only be able to use one chanel as an output, resulting in mono sound. If you have any panning effects on your drums, you will not be able to hear them properly. Take care to ensure that your cymbals and toms are not panned across the stereo field, or you will lose the ones assigned to the output you are not using. Hope this helps!

Generally not recommended, might blow out the frequencies. If your amp can stand it, channel it through an equaliser first, that might help. What amplifier would that be?
