Electric Guitar Impedance
How to use headphones with an electric guitar without using an amp / effects processor?

Thus, if a league in your headphones headphones directly into the instrument, its going to be damaged. To avoid this problem, use the 'headphone out' jack on your guitar amp / effects processor to connect your headphones. My question is, is a much simpler device liabilities that can be placed between the headphones and the guitar? I really like to play my guitar without having to carry a bulky effects processor (which requires a power supply) or an amplifier.
