The amPlug series of palm-sized headphone guitar amps make it easy to enjoy great guitar/bass sounds at home, in your room, or anywhere. This lineup is now joined by the amPlug Joe Satriani signature model, which borrows freely from the Vox/Joe Satriani line of signature pedal effects.

Flick the switch to activate the analog-style delay effect. Inherited from the Lo-Fi mode of the Vox/Joe Satriani Time Machine delay pedal, the delay features Joe's distinctive EQ tone, combining both high-pass and low-pass filters.

The amPlug Night Train perfectly simulates the high-gain sound of the compact Vox Night Train tube amp. Just as with the actual Night Train head, you can switch between the 2 preamp sounds. The bright position boosts the high-frequency range; the thick position offers a chunkier, heavier sound. The emulated speaker cabinet circuit accurately recreates the sound of the Night Train amp being played through the matching V112NT single 12" Night Train speaker cabinet. As a finishing touch, the amPlug Night Train shares some of the cool looks of its namesake amplifier.

Review: The Chord 3-channel headphone amplifier is a compact, desk top unit allowing up to three pairs of stereo headphones to be used at the same time.

High-output 4-channel headphone distribution amplifier

Review: Are you and your session players and bandmates tired of straining to hear underpowered headphones? That's why Jim Odom and his jambalaya-fueled team of engineers designed 150 mW headphone amps for the HP4 headphone-distribution system.

These headphone amps are not just loud enough for session and stage use, they're loud enough to explode the oysters in a Po' Boy sandwich. Yet the sound is clear and clean, with a wide dynamic range. At last, everybody will be able to heariassuming they are capable of hearing. Be careful with that level control.

Simplicity is the HP4's hallmark. You get left and right line inputs, left and right line outputs with level control, and the 4 x headphone outs. You can globally mute the headphone outs, adjust the overall headphone level, sum the stereo signals to mono, and mute the rear-panel Monitor outputs.

The HP4 can sit on a tabletop or can be screw-mounted to a standard rack tray (not included), where it requires just 1/3 rackspace. And if your needs grow, you can use the line outputs to feed the inputs of a second HP4 or an HP60. Chain as many headphone systems as you need.

So listen up. Quit struggling with mediocre headphone amps. Get the HP4 and hear everything loud and clear. You owe it to your music.

Miniature headphone mixer

Review: A performer needs to hear him/herself through headphones exclusively or mixed with the output of a mixer, CD player, tape deck, or other stereo line level source. Only the mic signal, however, should be going to the main mixer.

Connect the MyMONITOR between the mic and line source, and the mixer. The mic and line monitor levels can then be adjusted for mix and volume through the headphones. Only the mic signal will go to the board. And since the MyMONITOR can be AC or battery powered, the unit can be used on a large stage or wherever there is no AC outlet nearby. Dynamic or condenser mics can be used since phantom power would come through the mic thru jack from the mixer or other source.
