Instead of a spark consider the hotone pulz

#

Also do u have a need for a 100w amp

I have a Hotone Pulze, I got it on sale for 33% off, It's pretty good but i found myself wanting more slots for pedals etc. It also fizzes a lot if you have a lot of gain or bass because of the small speakers.

#

generally you will have a more satisfying experience with a larger speaker and the boss katana amps are the industry standard for modelling amps so id say go for the boss katana, although I don't know why you need 100W if you are also considering the spark 2, you should be fine with the 50

I have a mini and it can do that but the full size pulz shouldn’t

What are u doing to it that it is still fizzing

#

whenever the output level reaches a certain point the speakers start to fizz. You have to keep the gain down a certain amount and increase the volume of the amp instead but it doesn't really solve the lack of available gain

#

I don't use it much now though, I got a multi fx pedal a while ago and it solved my problems playing through a practice amp with a larger speaker

i personally have a 100w katana gen 3, but if you're not going to play live, i don't see the big need for a 100, you could also get a 50 since its also cheaper and the difference isn't major.

i can't say anything about spark 2, but the only thing i have to say about katana 100 is that it's extremely heavy (obviously), so keep that in mind

spark 2 is horribly bassy and just doesn't sound all that good

#

not really

#

not so much that it doesn't sound like shit

#

the katana is just way better

#

or the Blackstar IDX

#

The katana is really that much better?

The app layout sucks ass compared to spark thats one of my problems like what are good amps in the 450$ range

primal rune
#

my only gripe with the katana is that BT is not included by default

slim hinge
#

That's not a problem for me

primal rune
#

the Nux Mighty 40 is also pretty nice

#

what is your usecase/endgoal ?

#

jamming or recording ?

slim hinge
#

Jamming

primal rune
#

then the Nux Mighty could be a good one

#

or a modeler like the GP200 combined with a speaker

#

I think im gonna get the 50w katana gen 3 cause is it worth the money to get the 100w?

primal rune
#

100 is only usefull if you gig or if you need an FX loop

slim hinge
#

So the katana is the best for its price range?

primal rune
#

it very good for it's price ... so is the Blackstar ID:X ... or the Nux mighty 40/60
