I needed a practice device I could plug headphones into that also had an input for my ipad to play along with. I ordered a Line 6 Pocket Pod from Amazon and after trying it for a few minutes I realized it wasn’t gonna work. The amp models sounded terrible and everthing thing was overdriven and distorted no matter what I did with input levels and gain adjustment on the amp models. So after checking more reviews on it on Amazon someone mentioned the Digitech RP360 modeler pedal sounded way better so I ordered one to try. Setting it up was a breeze, way easier than the Line 6. I used the clean tube amp model with a classic 2x12 cabinet and this thing sounds absolutely INCREADIBLE. I was floored. The steel tone is rich and fat and CLEAN and the reverbs are Lexicon inspired. The delays are awesome too. I was able to quickly recreate that Paul Franklin tone you hear on Alan Jackson albums and was so blown away, I am going to use this on stage direct into the mixer with my in ears. This sounds as good as my expensive tube preamp which is made for steel guitar that I have been using for the last ten years. Though I’d just pass this along. Thanks

I have one of these and it makes a great headphone amp. I plug my guitar in one input, pc in another an old cassette player in another. You can mix the sound and the headphone out sounds great. You can even eq each section.
