And by the way, in that redundant loop you're thinking about with the guitar, there's a major logical fallacy:

The most likely thing to fail is the guitar cable itself. Honestly, it is; it's the thing that gets the most abuse, and they're usually built like crap too, at least the cheap ones. And next after the guitar cable, the jack on the guitar itself. Nothing you do after that guitar cable will solve any problems that are introduced by either a bad guitar cable or bad guitar jack.
