Headphone amp?
So I can practice in my chair, does anyone have a good suggestion for a headphone amp I can use?

Re: Headphone amp?
Do you have any effects pedals with headphone out jacks? I just found this and thought it looked pretty cool. You would just need some kind of stereo to mono adaptor to hear both sides of the Stick. https://youtu.be/lQnqi3c_9CsActually, after watching the video, I see that it comes with an adaptor to make it mono. That might be even better if your Stick has a mono switch. Good luck. Mike

I actually just saw this the other day, made by the same guy that designed the famous Neve consoles. http://rupertneve.com/products/rnhp-headphone-amplifier/

Thats amazing , a Neve Headphone amp, I'll never have the 48 channel Neve, but maybe thats something I could have with the legends name on it!

I got the Irig2 to replace my Irig 1, now that the 2 has the direct line out for an amp as well as headphone jacks. Plugs into any iPhone, iPad, and most Android devices.

Re: Headphone amp?
Looks cool! Sounds like it's working well for you. I finally found a site that lists it's input impedance - only 380kOhm. Not causing any problems when used alone?

Re: Headphone amp?
Hi Sominus.
I use the Vox Amphone, as mentioned by Mike. Its a good buy, but there are a few things to note:-
It works best with ACTV2 pickup block.
It doesn't work with PASV4 pickup block....UNLESS you do a small mod..... The mono sum comes out of the PASV4 via the sleeve of the stereo jack and not the tip. Emmett tells me this is because its a higher output than the other way around. I have Emmetts Email to me, regarding a small rewire on the PASV4. Although its simple, get a proper pickup tech to do it for you!!
I dont have a Stickup equipped Stick so no comment on that .
As for the Amphone itself, I have the BASS version. Its great but since the Stick is not just a bass, I find the bottom end is too overpowering. Not enough to warrant me spending another £75, but I suspect it would be better to have the "Twin" version (thats Fender Twin, there is a 3rd. model called AC30)
I hope that helps
Cheers from Steve in the UK

Re: Headphone amp?
I went and purchased an iRig 2 and a Y connector... All works well.

Re: Headphone amp?
I HATE the sound of my stickups through a Y connector. So I am on the lookout for a 2 input solution. The easiest is to just get a cheap small mixer. There are a bunch out there for less than $100.
There is an iRig Pro DUO but I haven't gotten to try it. It's $160 on Amazon
