Pedalboard to Bluetooth to phone to headphone practice amp?

[james condino]

Is there an ideal setup that I can use for late nigh practicing whereby I can run out of my pedalboard, bluetooth or wireless to my phone, and then use a modeling amp to my earbuds so I can rock out at 3 am and not wake up the entire house?

I've seen a bunch of expensive separate headphone amps and I do not have a headphone line out on any of my current amps. It seems redundant to buy a separate piece of hardware with a smartphone sitting right next to me. I still want to be able to use my working pedalboard rather than a headphone effects modeler that I won't use on stage.

Thx for the suggestions.

The problem is latency if you use Bluetooth.

You could use a guitar wireless system from your pedal board to something like an iRig interface to your phone.

+1 to both answers: Bluetooth isn't suitable there, it introduces too much delay.

+1 for this suggestion. I almost do the same, although I simply run a cable between my Pedalboard to my IRig interface, works well for me.

I use a Darkglass ADAM to practice through my pedal board. bluetooth phone for AUX in and plug headphones into the back. super convenient. pretty much the only reason i still have this pedal.

The easiest solution would be to get a good enough headphones and plug it straight into the end of your chain. No extra pedals or headphone amps are needed really. Worst case you'll have to lower the output on your board but that would be all.

As said above, BT is not an ideal solution because of the latency. I have not used the IRig interface, but I imagine it would work. Then again, any audio interface, including those you have hooked up to your pc for recording should be able to do the same. It just needs a headphones/direct out to plug your headphones into. Something like a simple Focusrite for example.

Darkglass element should work. Bluetooth iPhone tracks/music into element. Plug bass into element. Xvive U4 from element for wireless IEM.

Sorry, I guess you wanted to use a modeling amp in your phone. I was thinking of the amp sim in the Element would work. As others have said, in your situation latency will probably be an issue.
