Pedals into headphones, what to use?

plaidbeer · Post by **plaidbeer** » Sun Jul 30, 2017 8:02 am

I just use the headphone jack on my Pathfinder 15r or Mustang I. I'm on headphones nearly all the time as I'm in a smallish duplex and the better half isn't fond of my "playing."

I have a mixer that I use. Mackie 802vlz3

I plug my pedalboard into a palmer jdi 09 (has passive cab sim) and plug that right into the mixer. It's easy to pipe in music to play along with or anything else. It's also easy to quickly record something

I've only used the headphone option with the Iconoclast and think it's great. I've also got several friends who use the Iconoclast into a DI box as their "gigging amp" now. Set up the eq properly and it's fantastic.

For you guys with the iconoclast- are you using any preamp pedals in front of it? Does it sound good clean?

Depending on you budget you could try a Yamaha THR5 or THR10
I have been using one since 2012 when our kid was born and it's just great. I use it as a USB recording device all the time.

Before that I had this which was also nice and you can find them sometimes for pretty cheap:

Unless they have been hyped up now ...

Yea, now they just send you to the GT-1 to GT-001 to GT-100 stuff.

Which through cans or recording direct works just fine if you're so inclined, I do a good portion of the time these days even if I'm running a mic on the amps as well. Gives a consistency and I know exactly what I'll get (and it's good).

I found myself wanting to have an all in one amp solution for headphone practice, recording and very occasional playing out, and settled on the Yamaha THR100HD. I would have rather had something with real tubes but it doesn't really seem to be out there. The Yamaha has been good for my needs with one glaring exception...

... the built-in headphone out sounds like balls. Also, it sums to mono which is a real shame since a major selling point for me was the stereo effects loop.

I work around this by hooking the line-outs to a computer interface which gives a much better and stereo headphone sound, but it does mean I need to connect a laptop to provide the interface with power. I have to keep the amp levels very low to avoid clipping it, but this is not such a massive problem since the amp is a modeller anyway.

If someone could make me something like the Orange Rocker 32 with a decent headphone amp then I would look to switch.

Axoloti. It does this. Can be a pedal.

Axoloti.

Axoloti.

No one is actually building a pedal of these, commercially, right?

No. But some of us are working toward it.

Yeah, I get that, it just feels too much like vaporware to suggest here.

How dare you, sir.

Vaporwave isn't necessarily an insult
