How difficult would it be to configure a Get Set Go to power a set of headphones rather than speakers?
TIA.

Typically, you can just connect a 1/4" headphone jack to
the speaker terminals, usually with 100 ohm 1/2 watt or 1 watt
resistors in series with each "hot" terminal.
If you have headphones with very high sensitivity, over
100 db or so, you may want an amp designed specifically
for headphones, with much lower noise.
But for normal phones, you should be good.

That should work well. Might want to connect a 10 ohm 2W resistor across the speaker terminals just to give the trannies something to work into, and that will keep the primary impedance looking like the values that it it is supposed to be.
If you have lower impedance phones (32 ohms) then the 100 ohm resistor value may have to be "massaged" to sound right, and prevent excessive SPL blasting out your eardrums
