I've never done streaming or used OBS, so I can't speak on those specifics, but to clarify the physical setup -- the Spark and the PreSonus devices would normally be either/or, not both, as they can both act as an interface. Also, BIAS-FX is largely redundant to the Spark, as they can both act as a tone stack (ie, amp & effects). You can technically use the Spark as a clean/dry interface to BIAS-FX (I've actually done this myself), but it will be inferior to using the PreSonus device that is actually built for this purpose. Plus, if you're new to this stuff, it's a needlessly more complex setup. In any case, your physical setup would normally be one of the following methods:
- Guitar => Spark (interface & tone stack) => USB-to-Computer => OBS*
- Guitar => PreSonus (interface) => USB-to-Computer => BIAS-FX (tone stack) plugin inside DAW and/or OBS*
*Again, I've no idea how OBS works in terms of audio input, whether it requires DAW output, or whether it supports VST plugins. If OBS simply works with the computer's default audio output, then maybe even the BIAS-FX standalone app works with this. I'm only familiar with the physical steps of this setup (the first three steps in each above).
Of the two methods, the Spark method would seem to be the simpler one to start with, since it avoids involving plugins like BIAS-FX.
