Hi all, I can't get my headphone tap (http://www.rolls.com/pdf/M_PM52.pdf) to work with my Super Champ. I know this is a Fender forum, but does anyone know how to properly connect a headphone tap to an amp?

I have tried connecting the tap to the amp's "line out," and also tried connecting the tap to the pre-speaker signal cable (which traditionally goes to the speaker output), but neither have worked.

Thanks so much for any help!

Tim

Hi. I've never used this product before but I have some ideas. Do you have the speaker still attached? The box you are using appears to take a little bit of sound from the main out. The fender amp will still need the speaker load attached to function. I'm pretty sure the speaker out has a shutoff in case there is no load to keep the amp being damaged. I dont know the details tho. Hope thr helps or tell us more...
Cheers!

Hi timbobsquarebutt,

I have spoken with one of our engineers, and his response is included below. Please be sure to use any accessories of this type correctly as they may cause damage to your amp and possibly void your warranty if used incorrectly. Also, be sure to consult with the manufacturer of the device you are considering to confirm compatibility with you amp. And please let us know if we can assist further.

“Users can connect from the pre-amp out to a mixer and use the mixer’s headphone out. There may also be dedicated headphone pre-amps on the market that give a speaker substitute.”
