Hello,

I didn't realize but the GT-40 doesn't have any output ports on it except for a headphone jack. Will the headphone jack work as an output port to a PA system assuming you have the proper plugs, etc?

Yes it will work but you most likely lose the cabinet simulations (as with Mustang v1 and v2).

Also, the cable will be a lot of weight on the 3.5mm jack/plug. You might want to secure the wire against the amp so it won't yank on the 3.5mm jack. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing it's not the highest quality jack money can buy.

I also secure the guitar cable, so a case of the clumsies stops
before the circuit board can be damaged.

On My Mustang 1, I compared the usb and headphone output using audacity,
and found the headphone output had a slightly higher noise floor,
but unless one was doing extremely clean leads recordings
in a very spartan arrangement, like a jazz trio, the rest of the mix,
or cumulaitive gear hum, if not venue noise, would hide it,
and I found accessing the master volume knob to be valuable
in tweaking a mix. I'm assuming the GT40 has the same results,
but I should check again.
Cheers
