The springs would do the same thing as it being blocked so he isn’t wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right…yea that’s about what I gathered. I just checked, it just has the 3 normal ones , and the guy that just did my set up said he’d make sure it’s screwed down tight as well as blocked. But yea if I didn’t have the piece of wood blocking it I was gonna go the route you suggested with the 5 springs. Good looking out! But yea that’s why I don’t wanna mess with it. I’m considering getting lessons tho so I can learn more than just blink and possibly how to take care of this thing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn‘t such a thing afaik, you‘ll need sone sort of amplification, also you‘ll want some kind of amp-modeling to not just hear the DI guitar signal. Maybe your vox has a headphone jack? If not there are plenty of tiny amps that also have a headphone out or you could use an iRig adapter with your iPhone/iPad and garage band something like this would probably be the most convenient route to go: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/amPlugAC30G2--vox-amplug-2-ac30-headphone-guitar-amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I have one of the cheap vox tiny amp headphone things and its… pointless really, I end up playing through my computer instead for more tones and control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my Vox does have a headphone Jack, it just doesn’t sound great. I’ve tried my normal headphones as well as the headphones for my electronic drums and neither blow me away. The headphones for the drums sound amazing…for the drums. So I was just wondering if anyone had any guitar headphones that they love.

I’ll stay away Tbf they function, it has a lil gain noodle and “effects” but to me the effects are mostly pointless and the gain is “eh” but if you want a convenient ten minute noodle session its not terrible, they are cheap enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the review, i haven‘t tried one myself. Depending on your budget, an hx stomp might be worth looking into. I used to have a helix at home and that was great. The engine is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sennheiser headphones I have a separate plug that goes straight into guitar and I would swear by this brand for the rest of my life as far as headphones go and value. Assuming you'd want to plug into an amp though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Selling my Lava guitar for half the price also, because I truly fucking hate the thing that much. It's cool, but I simply don't have time to figure out all the app/phone connect features and it doesn't get loud enough for me. They're aight, they play drum beats, do a lot, but the technology isn't there yet if it only gets to like volume 3 on an amp maxed. They said you could use this at gigs or people do, find that hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me up Jans ex Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 About to fuck around here during my blinkation. In Detroit waiting for the show tomorrow.

Jan Backing Track Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I have not seen half-stacks, or full cabs, in a while. I used to have one, 15 years ago when I had no idea what I was doing and it was..intense. Played live a few times in our high school bands. Shit was fun. Had no reason to keep those monsters though but it was fun to learn how to use them. Except now I know that Guitar Center did not in fact care about my musical dreams and band they only cared about making a sale for their commission FAKE SMILES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part is we all got half stacks for our birthdays or christmas back then and then there was one know it all in the band who convinced us that these "wouldn't be loud enough" for a small high school theater, and stressed us all out for months that we would need to hook up to a PA system and all this jazz and we ended up just going with the half stacks and it was plenty fine for a small theater and gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
