Can somebody tell me how to use my headphones on my Peavey Nashville 1000 and disable the speaker at the same time?
Thanks |

| Try doing a search here for "head phones". That will give you a pretty good idea what you need to do. [This message was edited by Roger Kelly on 03 August 2005 at 07:31 AM.] |

You can plug the phones into the preamp out, but to turn off the speaker you have disconnect the speaker. This will not harm the amp.

Unless you have powered headphones, the PRE AMP OUT jack may or may not produce sufficient signal to power your headphones. However, to defeat the internal speaker, I recommend that you insert a shorted 1/4" plug into the POWER AMP INPUT on the rear panel. Otherwise, you may need a pair of powered headphones or a separate headphone amp.

| Mike, I had a 1/4" speaker jack installed on the back of my NV400, and a 1/4" mono plug put on my speaker wire. Now, just like on the old Fenders, I can unplug the speaker. I can then plug a mono-to-stereo adaptor into the speaker jack, and plug my headphones into that. This doesn't seem to hurt the headphones. Can it hurt the amp? Most headphones are 4 ohms or more impedance. It seems crazy, but the loud volume from the amp's speaker comes from their massive magnets and large cones. The tiny little headphone speakers are not very efficient, and they are no where near as loud as the amp's speaker would be. Speakers are speakers, and the actual current going out the speaker jack is not that different from what typical headphones need. Of course I start with the volume all the way off, and increase to a comfortable level. With most phones you don't need to go past 4. Your ears will keep the volume to a level that seems safe for the phones. I have done this for years with Fender tube amps, and now also do it with my NV400. Is this safe for the amp? |

Kirk,
If you run your volume pedal through the "pre gain" effects loop on the front of your amp, (and assuming you are using a VP with two outputs), this will enable you to plug your headphones into the spare output on your pedal. Then follow Mike Brown's recommendation for disabling the speaker. |

I tried plugging my head phones into the preamp out and a dead phono plug into the preamp in. The amp speaker was defeated, but I only get sound through one ear piece...must be mono only? Guess I'll have to use my Line6 Flextone guitar amp if I want stereo head phones.

| Kirk, you can get a mono to stereo adapter to put between the amp and the headphones so you hear it in both ears. |

Kirk, the Nashville 1000 is mono with one speaker, so you will get a mono signal.
David, it will not damage the amp.
