Headphones with Seymour Duncan tube preamp

1/1/2000 7:08 PM
Tarrie	Headphones with Seymour Duncan tube preamp I have an old Seymour Duncan tube preamp that I want to use with headphones. The back "out" says "1 watt". I tried plugging in stereo headphones for the hell of it to see what would happen. Of course I only got sound in one ear, but the sound was weak and tinny. Can I do something to use headphones with this unit? How much power do you need to run your standard dynamic headphone set? I really need something to use with headphones so that I can practice at night. Hope someone can help me. Thanks. Tarrie
