I'm no audiophile, but wouldn't that plug fit into the port right next to it?

    Headphone jack is an output. The jack they've hotwired is an input.

    Before the mid-to-late 1990s, on the other hand...

    Connecting cables was easy, the nightmare was getting the OS to recognise the devices.

    Yes, but there were so many different cable standards that you weren't always sure you had the right one on hand. USB has been such a godsend that the young'ns will never fully appreciate.

    It's hard to tell with the wire covering part of the label.

    You can see enough to tell it's an I (in), not an O (out) - plus the fact there's only room for one more letter behind the copper, as demonstrated by the hidden P in "TAPE" above. Having dealt with this sort of equipment enough in my life, those were really the only two possibilities.

    Others have already pointed out this is the tape in and that's the headphone jack. To the left is an effects send and return which is after the preamp but before the power amp (it's an in and an out where you'd plug in certain effects pedals). Far to the left is the instrument input. Depending on the specific signal you could probably route it through the effects return which bypasses the distortion of the preamp. I'd have to see exactly what the fuck they thought they were trying to accomplish.

    The color of it makes me think of the old Peavey Rage 158 amps but they didn't have an effects loop or tape in. So I'm not exactly sure which amp this is. The far right knob is the master volume and the one left of the effects loop is reverb. That's not important but it's interesting to me.
