| Is there a way to use ear phones for privacy practice from a NV 400 (kill the sound from the internal speaker)? |

| Presumably, if you could disconnect the speaker safely (I don't know) or plug a dummy jack into the Power Amp In jack, you could run the preamp out into a headphone amp. |

| The dummy jack in pwr amp and headphones in pre amp didn't work. I guess a switch of some kind could be added to interrupt the speaker but then I guess that would be too many watts or ohms or whatever going to the phones???? |

You could always just plug the guitar straight into a headphone amp......

| I use a USB interface for this. Or even an inexpensive tascam recorder would work. You could go preamp out to the recorder or interface or just direct in. If you want to practice with the actual sound of your amp but want to keep it down, you could mic it in a small isolation box using an interface, then plug in headphones to the interface. |

You can get an inexpensive headphone amp, plug it into the preamp out. Plug a guitar cord (one end) into the Power Amp in to cut it off.
Here is a $25 unit on Sweetwater

I do this. Run my steel to the amp like normal then run a cable from pre amp out jack in the back to a small 4 channel Yamaha mini mixer, plug headphones into the mini mixer. Disconnect the molex connectors to speaker in back, or, what I did was hook up a simple on/off toggle switch to the speaker wires. Works great and sounds like you're playing through a Nash 400 not a Tascam or digitally modeled amp. Mini mixer was about $35

If your headphones are ≥ 300 Ω, you could substitute an NJM4556AD opamp in place of U4. That opamp will drive the headphones connected to the "PreAmp Out" to a reasonable level. Then, of course, put the "dummy" plug into J6 (Pwr Amp In) to mute the power amp/speaker.
