1. Price - Try to get over the price. It is expensive, but this is the kind of equipment that you can buy and never have to worry about buying an amp again. If you are really a pro you can make this back with a couple of gigs. Also, try reselling anything other than this or a Roland KC - good luck. Think "Volvo of piano amps".
2. Headphones - Show me the headphone out on a real Leslie. Oh I guess those are not professional enough for you. If you are trying to use headphones on a live gig then you are listening to yourself and not trying to blend. The amp is not going to solve this larger issue.
3. Summary - You know what, don't buy it, that leaves one more available for someone with good sense. This amp is top rate and if you can't figure it out, fine. It's the best thing I have seen for piano in my 45 years of playing and 38 years of gigging (not an exaggeration).

My "Rudeness" doesn't stem from frustration on the fact of not being capable of using a set of "headphones" with an overpriced amp. Motion Sound simply cannot justify it's sordid price with the absence of menial features such as a "headphone jack." At the time of my previous writing I had recently moved into a newly built home to which the amplified studio monitors and "MIXER" that I normally use were not unpacked. Hence, the reason for my using my stage amp and for the disdain regarding the absence of a menial feature such as a headphone jack.
Additionally,Motion Sound's impracticality of not having a headphone jack is further exemplified during stage use when the backbeat of the drummer is pounding behind you along with the bassist standing at your side. Unfortunately, a mixer will not help you in this situation due to everyone being tied into the same mixer. Trying to hear yourself play a G minor11 chord while you were practicing would be great if only the amp you were using had an available headphone jack. NOT!!! But, of course, if you never were put into a stage situation this would not be an issue. With that being stated, there is no justification for having to expend additional finances for a mixer just to have the availability of a headphone jack. Period...the end. There are many comparable units available that include individual channel adjustments as well as a headphone jack and cost much less.

This amp sounds great. It may be a bit on the pricey side, but it's just about the only amp of its kind out there.
I've worked directly with Motion Sound on a number of different solutions to keyboard amplification problems I've had, and they've always been great to deal with. The "rudeness" noted here may have been just frustration related to this owner not having another way to practice via headphones (without the amp).
In my opinion, it's NEVER a good idea to go thru a mixer amp's headphone out when practicing on multiple keyboards at home. Compact mixers do a much better job when it comes to headphone monitoring, getting level set properly, etc.
Leave your gigging amp in the garage (or studio), and get a cheap mixer to submix the keyboards through. Much easier to deal with, and not expensive.
