When I attach earphones to said amp the sound is reduced 2/3's despite amping each selector to "10". Is that normal?

My best guess is that it has to do with the impedance of the headphones your using. Different headphones can have wildly different impedance values and will reproduce the sound at different levels depending what is driving them.

the ratio is about right, if I plug 32 ohm phones to my mustang 3 I have to put it at master-volume 6 to get something similar to Master-volume 2 whithout speakers

I am using very old earphones. Do not know the impedance. I will try current earphones and see if there is an improvement. Will follow up. Thanks guys!

Tried modern up-to-date earphones(should have done this before posting, my bad) and they (volume/master) sound terrific! Incidentally the phones that I was using were prehistoric back when Apple was just MAC. :lol: Thanks again for your respones.
