Time sensitive question: T.C. Acoustic Play + Amp?
Hi there,
This is a time-sensitive question and I need an answer kinda fast before I overpay for an amplifier. Question, I want to get the T.C. Acoustic Play hardware, which offers vocals harmonics, FX for guitar, pedals to trigger everything, autotune, a tuner, etc.. The question is, do I need an amp for this since it has a headphone jack? If I do use it with an amp and plug in to the headphone jack on the TC, will the amp sound if it's all connected? Or, can I monitor the signal through the TC on headphones with the amp still going? Essentially, I am trying to figure out if I can get away with a Fishman Loudbox mini without a headphone jack or a Fishman Loudbox artist with headphone jack is the better choice. I am after is a way to amplify my music but also use headphones so I can mix everything and get proper FX and all that but in a quieter fashion. Do I even need an amplifier with a T.C. Helicon Acoustic Play device? Thanks much. I also have asked the question to the TC Helicon people on YouTube but no response yet.

The TCH Play Acoustic has DI outs for the Guitar and Vocals so you could send them directly to the house board. From reading through the manual and from playing around with my VL3 you can use the headphone out at the same time as the main outs. Checkout page 8 and 26 of the Play Acoustic manual.

Why so time sensitive?! Better to take your time then rush into a purchase you might regret down the line. I mean seriously, if you don't need it for a live gig TONIGHT (which you don't since you're concerned about plugging gin headphones) walk away from it for a few hours, a day, etc., and let it stew.

It's time sensitive because of eBay. I am considering a higher-rated amp with headphone jack, but if the TC allows me to just use its headphone jack, then maybe I don't need an amp at all?
If it weren't for eBay then yeah, it wouldn't be time sensitive. Update: I got an answer back from TC Electronics and have the answer I need. Thanks!
