Hello everyone, I've recently taken on a new project, I'm building myself a travel guitar. Amongst the features I want to add, I want to install a mini amp in it, like a Ruby or Little Gem, solely for the purpose of using with headphones while away from home. I will have the output from the guitar go to two different outputs, the usual output jack, and then the amp, which will have its own jack. My question is, will that work? And which of the mini amps will work/sound best with headphones?
I would normally lean towards a Ruby, because I remember Audioguru once said the Little Gem wouldn't have enough input for guitar pickups. But since it's just headphones and not a speaker, does that mean I can get away with less? Or will I still lose something? I'm also considering that I have to put this in the already small guitar, so the smaller the better. How would you do it? Any help appreciated! Thanks.
