Okay, so my understanding is with my Stickup I can use products like what are found in the below links for a cheap mobile headphone practice solution but the intended pickup frequency would be compromised because I'm not using the suggested input impedance for this pickup?

Also, since the Stickup is stereo out could I use a single 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS or depending on the I/O type 1/8" TRS cable to plug into these options that do not offer two channels in?:

Appreciate everyones input - think I'm starting to understand the whole input impedance thing as well as find a mobile practice solution while I prepare for a future rig construction.

Those VOX head phone amps are junk. I have one, it sucks.

I often wonder why people would spend $2000+ on a musical instrument
and then spend $50 on the amplifier to hear the instrument.

Well, sometimes ya'all just gotta compromise for a bit wile you wait for exactly the right amplifier solution to come along!

I use a Korg Pandora with a Y connector through Beats headphones. It's great, fits in my pocket, I just walk around the house playing. Very affordable too, check out eBay!

Only looking for a cheap mobile headphone practice solution while spending money on a permanent rig... unless you want to donate..?

Thanks Kingmob93, your the third person that has recommended the Pandora with a Y

Keith, I'll look in my junk box for the VOX head phone amp. If I find it, it's yours.
I might have a few other treasures in the junk box, so I'll send them your way.

Y'know, I had a Korg Pandora, one of the first ones and it was a great little practice/play tool for guitar. I think I gave it away... I kind of want another one... Thanks for reminding me.

I vote for Korg Pandora, too. This is not a studio quality effect, but you do not need anything more to practise. I have PX4D model. Small + acceptable sounds quality + metronome/drums + aux input + headphone output. What more could you want ? Plugged into my amp effect loop also works good.

Instead of using a Y connection, I decided to make a special both side stereo jack cable where the stereo jack connected into effect has bridged both signals to tip.
Greater convenience connections. Like Y connection it's not a good solution for quality, but to practise enough.

According to my knowledge, at the past, Korg Pandora lovers were also sorely missed Virna Splendore and Nick Beggs.
