Can you use pedals with a headphone amp?

Recently bought a Vox amPlug headphone amp and started thinking about getting a looper pedal. Do I need a proper amp for this or could I somehow plug the looper between the guitar and headphone amp?

Yes! Plug it into the output of the last pedal. It will be same as plugging into front of amp, so any modulation/time effects will be colored by any gain stage in the headphone amp.

A headphone amp IS an amp, so you should be able to plug your looper pedal directly into it. You should think about getting a small amp anyway, like a Mustang or Spark.

If you want a good looper, get the Donner Circle Looper. Its actually two pedals in one - a Looper and a Drum Machine. Its easy to use, and built like a tank. Runs about $100.
