I use an Alesis Multimix4: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... nd-effects
I like it because it gives me a digital out from analog
It's $149 too.
The effects are decent.

I've been using it lately, too. A bit pricey if you're just using it for headphone practice, though. And the room ambience knob isn't the same as amp reverb, which it doesn't have. Great for recording!

What's up Joe,

Another vote for the Fender Mustang Micro.
The "clean" (twin reverb) tone setting is more than good enough, and the reverb too, even with really good headphones.
The bluetooth allows me to play along / practice to stuff from my phone like YouTube videos or Spotify tracks.
Also for traveling when you wanna keep your chops up but don't want to drag along gear.

Cheers,

peter

Hi Joe -

I use my Digitech Trio + headphone out. It has volume control, sounds reasonably good and I can also utilize the stuff that the Trio+ has to offer.
