DAMAGE CONTROL Womanizer vs. headphones

[KYChucky]

Will the DAMAGE CONTROL Womanizer drive headphones for quiet practice?

I have a line 6 pocket pod. I dont like it so much any more....

I am a huge proponent of the DC Womanizer for home practice/recording if you want warm, clean or mildly overdriven tone that is more organic and amp-like that any digital solution I tried earlier (mostly multi-fx pedals and a Pod XT). I've been using it as my primary tone generator for JamZone stuff for, well, years now and it works great for that. I really like the built-in opto-compresser and the various tone controls. It doesn't have/do presets, and has only a single amp-emulation (an open-back small combo-style sound). But what it does it does very, very well and I find that 95% of what it can do is right in my wheelhouse. With a Pod, for me, 95% was outside my wheelhouse.

The Womanizer also takes pedals in front of it very well, so the other gizmos I have are still at my disposal. When I still had, for instance, it even made my Pod sound much more natural to me.

But... it's a mono device, with a mono output, which means you need a mono-to-multi mono "adapter to plug stereo headphones into it or you'll only get one ear. That approach will work... but I usually leave it plugged in (via a "Y" splitter adapter) to an M-box at my computer and then plug my headphones into that for both practice and recording. All that resides in my modest Man Cave anyway, and I can play along with music on my 'puter or just play with no problem -- through 'phones or through my monitors.

Almost all this stuff (and anything else you might find on my Soundclick site) was recorded with one:
