This device is a 50 watt dummy load with a headphone output jack. It is not an attenuator, meaning you cannot control the speaker volume with this unit. Be sure to read the Additional Important Info tab.
The headphone jack is a stereo jack wired for mono operation. The output level to the headphones is continuously adjustable. A variable line out is also provided. The load switch switches between the normal speaker for the amplifier and the internal dummy load, which is nominally 8 ohms. The unit can be built at 4 or 16b ohms also. The headphone output jack and its volume control are always active regardless of the position of the load switch.
This item is hand-built to order, to ensure the best attention to detail is paid to its construction. We build them one at a time, on a table – not hundreds at a time on an assembly line. This allows us to reduce the margin for error and produce an overall higher-quality product. Please allow at least 7-10 business days for your order to be built and then shipped.
CABLES: for combo amps, most people like to set the unit on top of the amp. sometimes there is enough slack in the speaker wire to reach and sometimes there isn’t. these cables will make it work for you: GMC2P and GMC2E If the speaker is hardwired, then you need the PV30MH.

James –
I just bought a restock one on Reverb from Weber. Way exceeding my expectations. Using it with a 1968 Princeton and a 5C3 Deluxe. Sounds great with a cheap pair of Sony headphones. Sounds like it does through the speakers when cranked. Sounds equally good with volume at 3 and driven with a Barber Gain Changer, with less wear on power tubes. Best part when I came upstairs, my wife said "sounds like it works great." If your wife has no appreciation for the Blues or you live in an apartment, this is a must.

If you get one of these, do yourself a favour and use the best headphones you can find. At first I was using Sennheiser HD 25’s (good headphones, but small, closed back) Then I plugged in my open-backed studio monitor headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 801) and the difference was night and day. Schwing!

Bought on December 30th.
Got it home in Madrid (Spain) on January 9th.
I have already used it for a couple of weeks, and I love it.
The sound is the best by far that I have got from devices similar to this one. Nevertheless, you need to take into account that the sound quality will depend a whole lot on the headphones you will be using with it.
I have a Fender Blues Junior at home, and it works just fine with it.
I think my wife and neighbors are even happier than me. My popularity among them just skyrocketed.

The Weber Headphone Tap:
About 2 years ago, my housing complex shut me down from playing amps live through a cab (even my small 5w vintage amps!). I could have fought about it, but I ultimately figured out a reasonable-“ish” work-around: I used a Strymon Iridum and that was ok (a great unit, but not like having a real amp to play at will!)
Then I happened to be on the Weber page looking for a speaker and I found this awesome device…the answer to a prayer!: The Weber Headphone Tap!
OMG!!! there’s only one word for how I feel: LIBERATED!!!
SOOOOO GREAT!!!
