Review: This little device compares very favorably with similar gadgets that cost 4 times as much! - Quite honestly, I didn't expect much. I have three other headphone amps from another leading brand but they are only quasi-portable. More on this in a minute. I tested this amp on several guitars that had both passive as well as active pickups. Some of the exceptional features: 1 - Volume: Others have complained that the volume is only marginal. I am functionally hard of hearing. This Traveller packs a wallop! I had to turn the volume DOWN! 2 - Construction: A few other reviewers complained that this amp has a flimsy or "cheap" feel to it. I did not find this to be the case. Indeed, it feels quite sturdy and robust. 3 - Tone: I was surprised at the remarkable tone this amp provides. It amplifies my guitars' "voices", retaining the essential quality and color of their unique sounds. There is no EQ or distortion and no effects except for simple "blend" and "tone" wheels, which make very subtle but distinct enhancements. In short, the tones are pure and clear. I have a wide range of "quality" guitars (very inexpensive up to $2000. This amp treats all of them with respect and equal attention. However, even my cheapest guitars have strong voices, so I cannot speak to how this amp would interact with a guitar of poor quality. Portability: As I referenced earlier, I have three other headphone amps made by a well-known brand. These amps are modeling amps with loads of presets, and they are excellent! They also cost four times as much as this amp does. Additionally, while they work great with active pickups, they only work with passive pickups if they are paired with a preamp. I resolve this issue by using a battery-operated micro-preamp. To my amazement, the Traveler amp stands on its own with passive pickups (in my case, usually piezo pickups!); They do not require an additional preamp. Two things in the design stand out that, in my view, could be improved, although I did not take off any stars because I knew about these before I bought the amp: 1 - Range of Motion: The amp only swivels across one axis. 2 - The USB: The amp uses a mini-B USB cable rather than the more common standard USB-C. This is very picky on my part and does not in any way detract from the functionality of the device, so obviously, no loss of stars. I don't regret purchasing the more expensive headphone amps with multiple presets. The sound quality on both brands are similar. The only appreciable difference is that the more expensive ones have the additional features of presets, more ROM, and a USB C cable. However, I am shocked that this headphone amp, at a fraction of the cost of the others I have, can amplify my guitars, passive or active, without the need for additional hardware while the more expensive ones must have external pre-amps. For excellent amplification with great portability and at a remarkable value, you cannot go wrong with this headphone amp!
Review: Good build quality, decent controls, but hard to get good sound - This mini-headphone amp does what it is supposed to. It lets you listen to yourself playing on the Traveler Guitar (or any other silent guitar with a 1/4" pickup socket). It is convenient, compact, easy to use and the battery has a decent life. The only neutral comment I have: It is hard to get a natural sound out of it. The output quality is very compressed and/or EQ'ed flat (not sure which). There are a couple of controls that do have an effect, but not very much. Anyway, it does fit neatly in the Traveler Guitar bag with my other essentials, so I am keeping it for the times when I need a "minimalist" option for listening to myself playing. I would not count on it when you want good sound quality, however. Luckily I have some other portable options for that (LR Baggs DI, Zoom H4, etc.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this on a bass guitar?**
A: Well... Yeah. For studio or ear buds. It will cut out most of the lows, but you can get a Killer Cliff Burton (look it up) or snappy clean and fuzzy fuzz. Seriously think these are the cheapest and the best headphone amps. I use it as a pre-amp straight into a PA... So far beyond its price range! Enjoy brother

**Q: Can I plug it directly to an amplifier, or other device?**
A: Technically the answer is "yes", but since this device *is* itself an amplifier, it would only make sense if the amp or other device you want to plug in requires a high-level input. In that case, this would function as a preamp.

**Q: can i plug this into a pedalboard?**
A: Plug it into the output of the pedal board.  It will work just fine.

**Q: Difference between the acoustic and electric model?**
A: The acoustic model is voiced for the acoustic Traveler guitar and the electric for the electric Traveler guitar. I have not tried the Traveler brand electric, but I have tried a few of the Vox headphone amps. The Traveler acoustic amp delivers a much cleaner sound, which meets my needs.  I recommend it if you are going to use it with an acoustic guitar. But the Vox amps (and I image the Traveler electric) are great for electric sounds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works GREAT With My Fiddle! EASY to use and SOLID Sound!
*by A***R on July 29, 2024*

Arrived when expected, and is and performs as expected. This product provides EXACTLY what I was looking for, an EASY method for me to hear myself playing my fiddle! I use this both when I practice alone (helps me w/my intonation and volume) and when I play in a large group jam (can hear myself). I plug it into my fiddle pickup. I use an AUX connector cable and my iBeats headset. I will mention that I noticed that the quality of the sound you hear is dependent on the quality of AUX cable and headset you use with it.
