Guitar plus iPod inputs

If I want to plug in a guitar and iPod at the same time can I just connect the 2 inputs in parallel?

You mean to plug both of them in the same input? It would probably work, but not very good. I'm guessing that part of the iPod output signal would prefer to travel through the lower impedance that your guitar pickups provide, which might cause problems. You could build a buffer for each of them and mix them after it. That would provide some isolation.
Still, don't expect the results to be very good, guitar and line audio have quite different characteristics in terms of the signal processing needs.

Thanks. Maybe Ill rethink that idea.
