Zombie : Nice Amp but Mediocre Headphone Out

5 years ago

My main purpose for buying this was to practice with headphones. It sounds ok with headphones but not great. It can be a bit muddled.

I tried connecting the effects send to the effects return on my Boss Katana 100 and used the headphone jack on the Katana and it sounds a bit better.

I tested connecting the effects send to the input on my audio interface (Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen) and used some impulse responses, and this way sounded great! This sounded like what I was expecting! If you plan to buy this to record with it, I think this method works great and you'll be very happy with it!

Overall, it's a great little practice amp, I just wish the headphone emulation was better. I haven't actually used it with a cabinet yet so I can't comment on that but my expectation is that it would sound good through a cab, as so many videos on youtube demonstrate.
