I'll use it for practising guitar, straight in my gut. amp. Would I need a headphone amp? How does it compare to dt-990 pro?

Should be fine plugged into your guitar amp, maybe not a crazy amount of volume but doesn't necessarily need an amp. DT990 will sound worse and is equally difficult to power.

IMO K612 are best for listen to pure music or as studio monitors. They are durable and should hold up to your application. DT 990 are also great audiophile or studio monitoring headphones. You should not have a problem. I don't see the need for a headphone amp. Be aware of which ohms you choose as this can affect volume.

I too live in an apartment I can get away with an amp during the day as long as I don't get to crazy with the volume. I'm pretty sure you can hook a set of head phones directly to it although I've never used it that way. I know you can plug it into a PC/Mac because I use it with garage band and a pair of headphones on my Mac all the time and it works perfectly. Unless they have started including the updated software out of the box a PC/Mac and Internet connection is a must for this unit as you can update the firmware on the unit to allow you to use more effects at once which I did before I used it. I love this pedal it is built like a tank I think it would still work if I threw it down a flight of stairs, it has a ton of usable effects some people have complained it sounds to "digital" but for the $120 I paid for it I couldn't be happier one boss distortion pedal would be almost $100 and all but a handful of people wouldn't be able to tell the distortion or whatever effect was being made by a multi effect pedal as opposed to a dedicated pedal, and the fact that it feels like a real stomp box to use is awesome. Sorry I guess I answered more then your original question but I love this pedal and recommend buying it.

The treble, bass, FX level etc work well with both chanels. I havent tried any pedals and I havent tried the 100.

You can go straight to a guitar amp or mixing board. Sounds great but probably won't work for very long.Mine died after 3 or four months.

I have. It sounds fantastic for its small size. It's perfect for practicing alone or doing small street gigs. I sometimes use it with guitar and effects processors, but I primarily use it with a Microkorg synthesizer. I've put it through hell, and I can say that It still sounds pretty great at every frequency.

This little guy really shines as a headphone amp, but does well with speakers too. In your case, I'd be a bit worried about clipping since it's rated at about 17 watts @ 8ohm. No experience with lower impedances. If you're not set on a hybrid tube design, check out some of the dedicated solid state 2 channel stereo amps by Denon or Onkyo. My Onkyo does wonders with digital files with its built-in Wolfson DAC.

Not sure why you need headphones with this guitar, but they aren't suppose to work. I am sure the output is for an amp. Hope that helped.

It sounds great for the price. Compared to most $99 practice amps, this one is way more versatile, and has some decent tones. Its versatility is fun to play with too.

Robert, re: Use w/head amp and handling + impedance? - Yes, I use the Pure I-20 DAC ( $100; from an Onkyo receiver ), into a $50 Rolls HA43 Pro amplifier, and my source is a 4th gen, 8gb ipod. Nothing fancy but it works fine. Now as far as the impedence, yes, I use 50mm Mono 8323's mainly with this setup and it easily pushes them. I have used bigger Shure and AKG headphones and this setup has pushed them fine also.BB

Phil, both products are from the same company so I would expect them to be excellent together. You ask about a lessor cost amp, remember you often get what you pay for and without knowing exactly what you are going to compare it with your question is impossible to answer. I would expect any amp to help but the rest depends on your ears, headphones, amp and the quality of your music source.

Hey - this is true. You can get an adapter for less than £1, though. The amp is really made for higher-end studio headphones which usually use jacks, but you can still get the adapter. Be sure to get a stereo one.

Well all the headphones you listed don't need an amp. I'd probably Recommend the Beyerdynamic DT770s for a closed headphone. Or if you are using it at home the DT990.

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

I would recommend the mic. While the DX1AE is a great guitar, the D-28 is 4 times more expensive and with the proper setup and EQ, will most likely record better. For a live performance, it all depends on the pickup you have in your D-28. I have a DX1AE and a D-18, and while the DX1AE sounds good, the D-18 sounds really great. I use a K&K; with a K&K; preamp for live performances, and it comes across very well.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

I have a couple of studio headphones, and the Nuforce MMP-Black powers them very nicely. It is a very adequate amp for that purpose.Glenn

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.
