Using an amplifer for instrument sound instead of going through computer speakers

Not sure if this has been answered in another forum but I am wanting to have a setup where I can play my bass and electric guitar (single and multi-player) through an amplifier instead of through my home theater receiver speakers. So basically I want to hear instruments through an amp and hear the lyrics through the home theater speakers. Am I making sense? I figured I would need some type of mixer but not sure about the rest. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

I think this topic has been covered somewhere here if you look. But anyways it can be achieved with something as simple as a cheap Y-cable splitter....this is one method anyways

I am doing exactly this.  I have my guitar going through my pedalboard and into my marshall halfstack, my signal chain is a bit more complicated than it needs to be for rocksmith alone, feel free to pm me for details.

I do this very thing because RS hides how hideously I play. I use a Boss DD7 delay pedal to split the signal and it works great. I can improve my technique because I hear the way I really play and play with some pedal effects when I want to piddle. A Y cable can work but you may have grounding issues.

Found a good tutorial and pictorial over at the steam community for RS2104 by a fellow named Rogue203. That's about what I wanted to do but having to use my own tones is going to be challenging. Looks like I need a setup for each guitar when playing multi-player. It might get kind of expensive going this route. I might try it and see how it goes. Thanks for the help everyone.
