Got myself a Mooer Radar today, going to run my pedalboard into it for headphone practice, will be interested to see how it sounds, if it’s not up to scratch I’ll get one of their preamp pedals too, would love an iridium but…. $$$

To be fair, a lot of us play with headphones, most of the time - the ones that don't are lucky - I push my setup when the missus isn't here.

So doesn't it make sense to spend the cash on a great headphone solution, that will also be a great loud solution - but whatever works for you!

Blackstratblues has the most awesome headphone solution I've ever seen - he has the actual amps, that can be played silently. And the finest selection of amps :) I make do with the helix. Either can be played really loudly or silently.

Spend your money wisely.

I figure this is a cheap option for silent practice that should sound decent given the reviews... seems whenever I turn my amp on all the doors in the house get shut... its not even that loud!! Plus I want to be able to use all my pedals as thats where the majority of my tone comes from :)
