How to Wire a Headphone Jack in a Peavey Amplifier
You can use headphones to listen to the signal running through a Peavey amplifier. Peavey amps use a quarter-inch connector, which needs to be converted to the 3.5 mm headphone connection. When wiring headphones into your Peavey amplifier, you must use the preamp jack on the amp so you don't blow out your headphones, and possibly your ears. The preamp jack is designed to give you a line-level signal that can be equalized or recorded later. You can also use it to wire in a set of headphones.

Tips & Warnings
Circumaural headphones, the kind that cover your ears completely, block out more ambient noise and give you a better sense of what the amp is actually putting out.
