Members groutt Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 If I'd pay more attention, I'd probably know this already. I'd like a small and REALLY CHEAP headphone practice amp that has an input for an mp3 player or some such. Don't care too much about tone or modeling, but a little overdrive would be nice. I'd go for a Pandora, especially since it's Lug-Approved, but I'm looking for something really cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ssimontis Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 I use a Line6 Tone Port. I believe you can get the basic TonePort for $130, but you need a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prosigna Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 I have used old Guitar Multi-FX floor units like the Zoom and Digitech units for this purpose. The Boss ME-30 I have does this and has a 1/8" TRS input for an MP3 or CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zadillo Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 If you can find a good deal on a Pandora PX4D, I highly recommend it. I picked one up, and it has been a real godsend to be able to just plug my bass into it and practice along without having to carry an amp along with me. The built in metronome and rhythm patterns and tuner and stuff are also nice, and cut down on the number of other gadgets I have to keep with me. I think it's worth the extra money personally.

I recently got one and couldn't be happier. The batteries are lasting forever, there are probably 10 presets that I actually use (always a surprise with these things) and it has useable drum tracks.

Members bdegrande Posted January 23, 2007 Members Share Posted January 23, 2007 C-Tech Pocket Rock-It. There are different models, I have the Pro, which has an aux in, headphone jack, clean/overdrive/distortion switch, and chorus. It is very small, even smaller than the Smokey amp, and doesn't even need a cable, it plugs directly into your input jack. It has a swivel to work with either side or top mounted jacks, and it sounds GREAT. Works off one 9V battery. If you want lots of additional features, the Korg PX series and Zoom PS series have them but are more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JanVanHove Posted January 23, 2007 Members Share Posted January 23, 2007 The berhinger V-amp (i.e. their Line 6 Bass pod copy...) seems decent and can be grabbed for a good chunk of change under 100$... PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members groutt Posted January 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2007 Wow. Interesting possibilities. Looks like the smart thing to do is to skip REALLY CHEAP and move on up to REASONABLY CHEAP. Thanks! An ebay Pandora might me just the thing.
