Homemade Distortion er.. box

My brother and I made a little "Mini Amp" that works but that's now the point. I plugged it into my computer using the headphone jack on the amp and a doubble ended mini jack cable and it works as a distortion "box"! i got the idea from people making pedals out of tape players. here's a sound bit. Sorry for the dull sound - my sound card sucks (compusa free with rebates! )

what ground? and now I have new electronics from a tape plyer this time but i've got a big problem I think I dropped solder across some connections or somthing but now insted of tuning on the radio setting it just picks up all the stations it can at once and on the previously tape now input setting it just makes wired noises like click click click click click and buzzes and scrating it's waaaay screwed.

When you pull the wires from the head there should be red, white, and ground... The ground may not have a sheathing, but there should be other metal wire running through with the red+white. You wire the ground to the sleeve pin of the input jack and you can wire both the red+white together to the input pin.

How it should be wired:
