2nd failure...........

[dbsfgyd1]

Ok, I had been using a Joyo headphone practice amp. This is the second one I bought that has now crapped the bed! Any suggestions on a replacement? It needs to have an aux in so I can connect my mp3 player. Something reliable. I miss my old Pocket Rock-It. That thing lasted for many years.

I have a discontinued Digitech BR300 effects pedal that I use. I would look for a newer version with better effects and samples.

I second the suggestion of Boss Waza Air Bass. Plug n play and works with BT music (and no wires).

+1 for Boss Waza.
No cables / Best practice tool I've ever used.
(and that goes back to the Rockman and later the pocket Rock-it)

Mustang Micro?

 

[mcrawfordmusic]

Fender Mustang Micro?

The boss Katana Go is what you’re looking for. Way cheaper than the Waza Air, same great sound quality and software. The only downside is a wire from your headphones. I love mine! I’m using it right now to jam while I compulsively Talkbass.

Gotta have an aux but I'm open to utilizing Bluetooth. Heading to Guitar Center tomorrow.

I use the Aguilar Tone hammer headphone amp it was cheap and works pretty good for what it is! Musician's Friend

I looked at a few today. Saw the Fender Mustang Micro (old and newer versions). The Boss Katana. And a couple others but I wasn't ready to go down the Bluetooth road just yet so I ended up getting the Vox.

I would see if I can find a used Phil Jones PJB Bighead headphone amp.
Bought one used years ago. Sounds great, very loud, small, solid metal construction, light and aux input.

This is a great answer. The PJB Bighead is a great practice rig.

2 really REALLY great movies. Grew up watching these over and over again back when I was a kid. Not scary to me…

except the tree in the first movie. Horrifying considering I had a rather large tree with thin skinny branches just outside my bedroom window. And when Steve Freeling got drunk in the second movie, began yelling at his family, swallowing the worm, and then the beast coming out of his mouth incredibly violently…

BOTH those parts were absolutely terrifying when I saw them then, and still quite unsettling today.

Aux in with separate volume knob
Built like a tank
I love mine, except it's ability to reproduce flaws in technique is annoyingly accurate

I enthusiastically co-sign this post 100%. I’ve had one for at least 20 years and it’s a gem.

I bought a used Phil Jones BigHead and they are great. One thing to note is that the unit does have a lithium ion battery in it so depending on how old and heavily used the unit is, the battery life might not be the 8 hours they claim when new. Not a big deal though as you can just plug it in.
