My friend got a 6.3mm to USB cable with his loop pedal, I was wondering if I could use that, plug it into my computer, and register it as a microphone somehow?

Can I Record on the Computer Using...?

What if I were to plug in the amp from the headphone jack into the microphone jack and record through audacity?

Okay. I have one, and I experience no latency at all. I'm still playing with the settings to get minimal tone coloring, though.
You need a recording interface and an upgraded sound card in your computer.
You don't need an updated soundcard. I use a USB audio interface (Lexicon Alpha) which acts as an external soundcard, providing input and output, like most USB interfaces do. I wouldn't even need a soundcard in my computer to use it.

Oh yeah, you would only need a sound card if you were going no interface. I think Behringher (sp?) and Line 6 make a couple cheap interfaces. I have no idea on the quality of these but as long as you're not going to put these on a record, they should be okay for basic YouTube covers.
You can use the micophone jack and audacity, just don't expect to hear any bass. Guitar and vocals may be ok.
But try it, it won't break anything.
