Q: What size are the Headphone outputs on my Line 6 device?

A:  The majority of the headphone jacks on Line 6 products are 1/4". The Floorpod series, Pocket POD, Pocket POD Express, Guitarport, and POD Studio/Toneport GX have a 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack.

 

Q: What is the recommended headphone ohm rating for use with Line 6 products?

A: For devices with a 1/4" output, we recommend headphones rated between 150-600 ohm (pro or semi-pro level) studio headphones for best results. For those with an 1/8" output, headphones designed for MP3 player usage are usually a good match. Results may vary between headphone models and manufacturers.

 

Q: Can I use smaller earbud-style (i.e. Ipod) headphones with my Line 6 gear?

A: Earbud-style headphones (typically under 150 ohms) are not recommended for devices with a 1/4" output. Some users of earbud-style headphones have experienced a "motorboat" sound in the headphones. Results may vary between between headphone models and manufacturers.

 

Q: I noticed that when I plug my headphones into my Line 6 amplifier, there is no sound from the speaker.  Is this intended?

A: Yes, inserting a plug into the headphone jack will mute the speaker.

 

Q: My Line 6 amp headphone jack is also labeled direct/recording output.  Can I use the speaker and the headphone jack at the same time?

A: There is no way to have both the speaker and headphone jack/DI output active at the same time.
