Spark 2

Post by Bruce Bjork »

My Nashville 112 in a custom Tommy Huff Cab with a 15” speaker is making random scratchy sounds? So tonight I plugged into my new Spark 2, WOW, I think my load out for gigs just got much easier.

Bruce, I can't believe the little Spark 2 would cover a gig unless you are plugging into the PA. Please elaborate on how you plan to use it. Those 4 inch speakers even with the listed 50 watts seem less than ideal other than practice.

I mic it with a Sennheiser 609 and plug into the PA.

I just did a comparison Nashville 112 vs Spark 2, other than more volume on my 112 the spark 2 sounds great.

I understand that. It's the volume issue for gigs. I have tried a number of smaller amps and always went back to the more powerful stuff. Good luck with your Spark.
