You can't just use a stereo headphone adapter - you're not just converting impedance.On a guitar tube amplifier, the speaker out must be connected to a speaker and/or a resistive load -- or you can damage the internals of your amp. It's unclear if the boxes mentioned present that load; I'd rather spend the money to ensure my amp doesn't melt. This is the proper tool for the job; other manufacturers may make as well. https://taweber.powweb.com/weber/hpa50.htm


Hi, guys! I just purchased the Weber Mass 200 WITH the headphone jack option.
Takes the load, automatically from ANY amp. My amps range from 20w to 135w.
The beauty with the Weber Mass 200W is it will work with all amps without having
to worry about matching the "exact" impedence loads:

I looked around and this is a real good deal if you have the bucks. Toppscore :)

Two completely different situations. The GDEC takes the headphone out from the preamp section of the amp, and is closer to a stereo output, made specifically for headphones. With the DRRI, you are adapting the mono signal from the output section of the amp, and reducing it down to headphones and it's still mono even though the signal is split to each half of the headphone. No matter what kind of headphones that you use, the adapter on the DRRI will never sound as good as the GDEC headphone out.


i got it worked out, headphones sound fine now. i took the overdrive out of the chain and play with only a booster. headphones sound ok. not up there with the digtal out on the GDEC but fine nonetheless.

happy late nite practicing now! thanks to all for helping

Eventually, check out the Weber Mass 200 or 100, etc.
The will attenuate your amps, offer headphone options
and allow your neighbors to sleep.
Also, they will work with all amps, so you only need one for your collection.
