Hello,

I have not used my amp for a couple of months. I have been doing my practicing and lessons straight out of my RP255 into my headphones.

I have had some time with the wife and kids out of the house the last few days and have been using the amp. I cannot get the tone to sound anything like I am getting out of the headphones. It does not sound bad, but not what I want.

I have a small, old, Peavey backstage amp. For what I need an amp for it works. Just wanted to know where to start, or if I am asking for something that is not obtainable.

Thanks,
Brian S.

Yes, your processor will sound better through headphones, simply because it puts out a hi-fi signal (which means it covers a wide range of frequencies evenly). Guitar amp is more midrange-focused device.

Try this:

- Turn off cabinet modelling on your processor
- Make very clean sound on your amp
