EliasMooseblaster Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I see Ashdown have started a new line of headphone amps: https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/accessories/products/tone-pocket-headphone-pre-amp Can't deny I'm intrigued! What do we know about them so far? Has anyone within this parish had the pleasure of test-driving one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have to say, I'm intrigued too. I'd love to know how they compare to the likes of a Phil Jones BigHead which seems to be regarded as the best available in this field of products. Cheap practice amps tend to struggle with high output basses and low B strings, my little Vox AmPlug does not like either of these things, so I'd be keen to try something a little more up market and HiFi.

Chienmortbb Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Could second as a DI and/or preamp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity there isn't a balanced XLR out on the back, but the line out should be perfectly suitable for that kind of thing. I notice it also features " a 12v in car power supply for use with a 12v car socket " - presumably so you can get in some bass practise while you're...erm...driving?
