Hey everyone,
I have two young ones at home (2 1/2 and the other is 1) and my Rivera KR-100 obviously is too much for my home. I'm not gigging/in a band currently so I can only practice extremely quietly (exception being if I can ever get the wife and kids out of the house!). I have the Rivera RockCrusher which honestly works great for really quiet but as my 'guitar area' is in the storage/utility room next to the TV/family room in the basement I need an alternative that involves headphones as I honestly get drowned out by the furnace or laundry machines! It's a horrible and frustrating situation but it is the way it is until we can get a bigger home.
I'm not looking @ recording just practicing silently with headphones. I've been looking really hard @ the Two Notes Torpedo C.A.B. but am wondering if there is not a cheaper alternative? I'm not at all familiar with IR's and the like so I need help & suggestions! I have a laptop to potentially use but when I try to make sense of these IR programs, it seems like they're only to use with a DAW (which I don't have nor want to learn right now) and not as a stand alone for playing through. Is that correct? Or are there speaker/cabinet simulator programs I'm missing?
I am not looking to buy an Axe or Kemper or some cheap headphone amp, I only want to use my Rivera KR-100. Ideally I wish to use the line out on my Rivera RockCrusher into something that will allow me to use cabinet IR's so I can practice with headphones.
Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated!
