      Hey guys, I'm looking forward to buying this new amp, which seems amazing, but I'm wondering why you guys didn't include a line out, a 3/4' line out... I mean, I know there's the headphones output, but it would make a really nice addition if you include a line out to connect to a PA or a mixer... This is a really good amp, and I think there's a lot of potential asides from playing alone

        Hey, omorales01,

        You can use the Spark headphone out to an amp or mixing board. What you need is a Stereo to Mono Summing Cable with Resistors ( 3.5mm TRS to 1/4" TS ). Do not use a straight stereo to mono cable, you could mess up your Spark because of the load on the amp. I use a Stereo to Mono Summing Cable from Castline. I am running the headphone out from the Spark to a Quilter MicroBlock amp (flat EQ) with a 12" open back cab and the rig sounds great.

              Hey omorales01, I'm not sure what you are asking about the 1/4 to dual mono cable. The Spark headphone out is 3.5mm TRS (TRS=Tip, Ring, Sleeve) and if you want to combine the stereo output and send it to a mono input, like TR, you need a summing cable or box using resistors to protect the power side of your Spark amp. If you want to go from 3.5mm TRS to a two channel input, like two RCA jacks, then you do not need the summing cable - you can use a straight cable like this: Hosa CMR-215 3.5 mm TRS to Dual RCA Stereo Breakout Cable

                Could I safely use the mono cable below to go from the Spark headphone out to an amp or cab? I only want to hear my mono guitar output, not music or stereo.

                  @jonj33,
                  Yes, that cable will work and not cause damage, but you will only get one channel from the Spark and not the sum of left and right.... probably not a big deal sound wise. I have not tried using one channel, so you should post here if it sounds good. It sure costs a lot less than the summing cables.

                    @gregory-snow easy enough to make a summing cable to what ever length you like
                    can have mono and still do stereo if you need to. a little soldering 2 resistors and youve got best of both .

                      Hi,

                      I know this is a old question, but I want to play the Spark amp through my Peavey Deltablues and you seem more knowledgeable about this.
                      I understand that there is a cable I could get but I am in the UK and I cant get anyone to make me a cable!
                      I also see that you use a Quilter Microbloc 45.
                      I have a number of boss pedals and a boss GT-100.
                      So I am wondering if you could advise me if any of these would work.
                      If I dont ask I wont know.

                      Thanks
                      Steve

                          Hi Thanks for that.
                          I understand that I need a "Stereo to Mono Summing Cable that has Resistors.
                          Apparently the resistors are needed to protect the power side of the Spark amp!
                          Again thanks

                            I have a question maybe you could answer....I play through a 2x12 Electrovoice speaker loaded packed closed back cab ...a total beast ... that have their own individual 8 ohm line in's ( so I run 2 cables out from my Blacksrar into the back of the 2x12 for my live setup )

                            My question to you is if I were to run the Spark headphone jack OUT to the Cab inputs using this:

                            https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Splitter-Compatible-Computer-Multimedia/dp/B00ZKM3SHK/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=3.5+to+1%2F4&qid=1608057362&sr=8-6

                            Would there be any danger of damaging the amp in your opinion?

                              I'm interested in the same thing, but going directly into a PA/soundsystem. Would this work?https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HF5NRGN/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_159?uh_it=455aee05b354d7b3fa593a4001c5a422_CT&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFGMDVYQ0ZRSk1LUDgmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1NTcyNzgyS0hNVDdKUVU1OFBPJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0Mjk5NzcyNDdYUVlQSzRFMzRTJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c2Rfb25zaXRlX2Rlc2t0b3AmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1
