What's a good headphone amp below 200$?

[Surgeon]

So, I'm not gonna bore you all out with the story but I'll be in the hospital with my newborn daughter for at least a month. I had prepared for that by bringing my old Korg Pandora3 and a friend lent me his old Jaguar so I can find a few minutes to play once or twice a week.

Thing is: I must be spoiled now with all the new technology and whatnot because I can't seem to get a decent tone out of that thing now.

Any suggestions?
As you can guess, money is something I don't have lots of at the moment so the cheaper the better but I already have something so it's still gotta be decent.
If it doesn't exist within my price range, it doesn't, that's all.

Thanks fellas

Do you have a laptop? Amplitube free might be a viable option and should give you some decent sound using just the free stuff included.

Amplitube Free

Do you have an iPhone? Amplitube on there is nice.

I like the Vox desktop (like the original ToneLab) or floor modelers, and the Line6 Pocket POD. Haven't tried the iPhone apps, though.

Used Line 6 Pocket Pods can be found around the $60-$80 range on Ebay.

I think they're an awesome value new, as well. You just get a lot of good-sounding stuff for the money, not to mention what might be one of the best-sounding battery-powered things you can plug headphones into for guitar.

Yep. $129 for a new one is a great price.

Vox Pathfinder 15R is the steal of the century at 119$ with a line out and a headphone jack. . .and it's also a 15 watt amp that is clearly in the AC15 / AC30 family. .

Anyone tried the EHX Headphone Amp? I'm curious.
