Connecting headphone out to Omni I/O

[Paul881]

I should know the answer to this

If I connect my Peavey amp headphone socket to my omni input, it sounds terrible. Do I need some sort of D/I box to boost the signal? I would have thought the omni pre-amp on inputs 1 & 2 would be good enough?

Most headphones out on amps sounds terrible!

The headphone out is (normally on cheaper amps) connected directly to the amp and bypassing the cabinet. Don't use the headphone out. Either mic the amp (my Fender Pro-Reverb sounds great using a Shure 57) or get yourself a amp-simulator (I'm happy with V-Amp 2), that's my advice.

C'mon Paul!Who's the king of the ol' castle?
Just crank up the Peavey and let 'er rip!
If your co-habitants don't like it you explain to them...

"It's this or a Pod XT!'

Any other pressing problems you'd like me to take care of?

Thank you for your support. I will wear it always

Yep, the peavey rocks okay but as I'm an older and more considerate old git than I used to be (news to me..<pauls wife>), I was hoping for a good way of emulating a line out from the amp (which I havent got).

Is a POD my only real salvation?

LOL!

No, but it's the best IMO (expect micing the amp, that is).
