Hey guys !

Well me and my brother are musicians and we would like to play some guitar together with our Byredynamics DT990 (2 pairs)

Now i have my guitar plugged to an Eleven Rack (Recording interface and guitar processor) and my brother has something simillar then i want both guitars and my PC (For backing track porpuses) to be plugged into a "Lexicon Omega" recording interface . . now here is where the problem begins . . it has only 1 headphones output now i thought about buying an headphone amp and split the signel into 2 . . so far i've come across two possibilities . . the "Pro-Ject Head Box SE II" and the "FiiO E 7".

Any thoughts about this setting ? any advice about the Headphones amp ? Anything usfull you can tell me about these specific models ?

Thanks in advance guys !

I use an old Rolls 4 Channel headphone amp. Its small, and it works. Its a good one. Not many features, but it does the trick.

But that cuts the relative output to each headphone as you do that. Getting a proper headphone amp boosts the signal and allows volume control over each. The one I linked above is only like $45 brand new. It is worth its weight in the studio for practice and recording. I use mine all the time.
