What can I connect to my Crate gfx 120 guitar amplifier?
So my amp has an insert and an external speaker connection besides the input for the guitar. The manual says that the insert is for special effects things and the other one is for an external speaker. However, I was wondering if I could connect maybe another guitar somehow or maybe a mic. just curious. thanx
If you don’t have it, then download the manual for your amp here:

An insert jack is designed to break the connection between the preamp/tone stack and the power amp stages. The idea is that you develope your tone in the preamp, then add your effects, and finally out to the power amp.
The way it’s set up on your amp, if you plug a guitar into the insert jack, it will most likely disconnect the preamp (and shutting off whatever guitar is plugged into the instrument input of the amp).
Probably best just to use it for it’s intended purpose.
