I usually play with headphones at home through my audio interface. I've tried many preamps (Darkglass, Aguilar, Nux MLD etc) and this one is the best amp in a box on the market. I've already managed to sell it and buy it again lol )). It's not as versatile as Darkglass, for example, it doesn't have headphone output, it doesn't support IRs, and it's big and heavy. But when you stand the philosophy of this device, you will love it. It's just a very good SVT amp in a box format that sounds amazing and gives you the feeling of playing a tube amp.
