Does anyone have a gizmo that they can jam through headphones with but still get a good sound? Alas my 200 watt valve rig is too loud for home use :(

I use one of these. Works fine for me.

And if you had been able to make it to the bash you could have tried it out. :(

I have a Digitech Genesis 1 (I have 2 actually, plus a Genesis 3).





Headphone out of laptop into 'Line In' on Genesis. Plug headphones into Genesis. Plug bass into Genesis - set up amp/cab/tone.

Play track on laptop & play along.

Genesis 1 is not terribly expensive on Ebay.

The Genesis 1 is pretty straightforward, but the Genesis 3 (no idea what happened to Genesis 2) is a much more complex beast, being, in effect, a programmable Digitech GNX-1 Multi-FX in a manual box.

We also use 2 xGen1 & a Gen3 plus electronic drums into a small mixer, with a line-in from the PC then a small Berhinger 4-output headphone unit. This allows up to 4 of us to jam silently.

Following a recent thread on here about using an ipad as a pre amp , (sorry I can't find the thread otherwise I'd post a link to it - but the thread contained link to this website [url="http://www.tayste.co.uk/2014/02/24/the-ios-bassist-pt1-an-introduction"]http://www.tayste.co.uk/2014/02/24/the-ios-bassist-pt1-an-introduction[/url] which contains all the info you could need )

..... I have been using iRig + the Jamup XT app + the two bass expansion packs into headphones/Asda computer speakers!

Loads of amps and effects to play with, you can jam along to stuff in your itunes library, and record as well
really excellent fun .
