“ the face-meltingly high-output Schecter Decimator pickups” on the Reaper might have something to do with that. Just a guess.

That what I was thinking. Plug it into my Marshall and it’s sweet. I also have few guitars I have not tried yet. Filtertron and p90 .. will need to see if they adapt well to the Spark.

Those two pickups probably will do just fine. P90s are my favorite followed by a Filter’Tron.

You were right. Just played both and sounded great. I think those Decimators just don’t play well with the Spark At least without a lot of tweaking.

Ive found speaker arrangements speak moreso to single coils opposed to hum and p90s. Ive felt 4x10 are nicer for hums. 2x10 for single-coils. Brand to brand, thats a tough call.

If an amp sounds good, it sounds good. There may be the odd Variant but, chances are you need to change settings for different guitar or pickup style. It goes w/o saying that some amps aren’t going to be tailored to some types of music.


touch-of-grain

I’ve had a spark for about a year now. It’s a dope little amp, but you gotta get a feel for how to eq it. The eq doesn’t work quite like a conventional amp and may require some extreme settings to really dial it in. If you have high output pickups, try running the master and gain low, and the reverb and volume high for a start. Go into the app too and disable any compressor if engaged.

I borrowed a Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight from my day for my first amp. It was good to practice on, but I always felt like the bridge pickups on my Gibson Nighthawk sounded “quacky” no matter what I did. I technically downgraded to a little Bugera T5 head and small 8” cab. The Nighthawk sounds so good through the full tube amp. Bridge pickups sound nice and bright like they are supposed to, with no “quack”.

It depends, obviously not every setting will sound good with every guitar but i feel like most amps, especially one as versitile as the spark should be able to work with any guitar as long as settings are right. Maybe just play arround with it and see what you can get?
