The jack on your guitar is an OUTPUT jack not an INPUT jack. The signal is being sent out of the jack. The fact the the plug is being inserted INTO the guitar does not make it an input jack.

I don't know what made me want to type this, but I did...

I don't mean to ruffle anybody's feathers... Or do I?

I have never heard it referred to as an input jack, must be the company I keep :)

Well, the cable goes in, the signal goes out :shrug:

Unfortunately, the rage has no where else to go! :lol:

It annoys me as well. Not enough to start a thread about it, but enough to post in a thread somebody else started.

Mine is when people misspell peeve.
:coffee:

Ha, lol!!! I thought it may have been misspelled. I'm surprised my spell check didn't pick that up either. In my defense I was about to go to sleep after having been up for 24 hours straight.

Your spell check let that by?

Did you get your computer in Narnia? :lol:

It's called an input jack because the cable is "put-in" to it. My 2 cents.

Just call it a "jack." As far as I know, guitars don't typically have multiple kinds of jacks with respect to input and output, so there is no need to make a distinction.

If that were the case then all jacks would be 'input' jacks. Even XLR... There is always something getting plugged into something else. The direction of the signal determines whether it is in input or an output jack.

One pet peeve of mine is when people on forums actually take the time to sign their name at the end of every post.
I find it a bit self absorbed and its entirely redundant.

Maybe it's like an end tag to let you know that post is indeed over. :lol:

This thread either needs to be closed or be moved to off topic and re-named the SS.O Pet Peeves thread. Or would that be a repost too?
