Generally speaking if you send an instrument-level signal into a device that needs line-level input, you will get weak sound, inadequate processing, and probably extra noise as you boost the signal to compensate. This is in contrast to " instrument level" which is what typically comes direct from a guitar or bass, and " mic level" which is the typical output of a microphone or DI box. Inputs needing this level include power amps, most rackmount signal processors, and some effects-loop "returns". ![]() Examples of line level outputs include mic preamps, mixers, the "line out" of an amp, and some effects-loop "send" jacks. ![]() A device that operates at line level either has a very strong output signal, or only functions properly when you feed a very strong signal into it.
