FM3 arrived today, I just tried it using headphones scrolling presets I was impressed with the Marshall and Vox tones, and a little disappointed with the Dumble tones. Sounds good enough to inspire song writing and enjoy headphone playing. I was going to run it through my apogee Duet into monitors next but having issues accessing the apogee software and I don't have easy access to the cables to go direct into the monitors. Hopefully I'll get time to run it through my amp after work.

I've never really enjoyed headphone playing. Be interested to see how you find it through amp / monitors

Decent open-back headphones make a real difference. Even cheapish options like the HD-6XX.

This is true. My headphones are open back but they are pretty old now!

I only had one cable to hook up one monitor but it sounded great, huge fun factor and I forgot how easy it is to shed with a boat load of gain and effects. I'm a bit disappointed with the Sitar sound though. My favourite sound is the big tweeds pushed hard, even the ghost notes come out, it's great.
