I'm wondering if anyone can point me towards a pedal that will act as an amp for headphones that i can run my pedals through.  I travel more than i want for my job and would love to be able to take my pedal board and be able to use headphones in the hotel.
Any ideas?

The CMOY is great, but there are Ruby or 386 amp mods that allow for headphones as well. The search function will give you quite a few. There was even a thread recently comparing some together.

Some that come to mind:

MXR headphone amp,  
PAIA headphone amp (stereo)-built this-works great-uses 5532-just build one channel.

Then there's the "Practice Man"(google)

Lastly, more complicated, there's the Zen and Son of Sen headphone amps (google)

You might want to try a preamp or a cab simulator.

A single JFET preamp will work fine with any of the HP amps I mentioned.

It depends on the type of pickups U have.

A single JFET should give plenty of signal to fully drive a HP amp input.
and, it takes up very little space!!!

search for JFET preamps on this forum or just goto google
