      I love the sounds I’m getting on my Spark amp and want to use these live. I’ve been running the headphone output into a DI box and that works fine, but I just don’t like taking my beloved Spark amp out and gigging it because it’ll look like the rest of my gig gear soon enough (battered and mucky).

      I don’t want to play into a computer, so getting Bias FX isn’t really an option. Is there a way of getting the same tones I use on Spark but through, say, an iPhone interface? I don’t mind getting some hardware. I guess buying a Spark mini is an option, so my bigger one stays in my living room safe and sound, but if there were an interface, that’d be better.

        @gordon-clow Bias FX 2 Mobile seems like a possibility. An interface like Riff or another like iRig HD with it should work. As for whether the tones are the same or similar, I only have the Mini so can't compare.

        Getting the bag for your Spark to take care of it sounds like the best option though. The Mini is not a huge amount cheaper, but it nice and compact to move.

          Thanks. I’ll have a look at the Bias phone app.

          But I am wondering about a Spark Mini. It ends up expensive though, cos I’d need the foot switch too. I own a Line 6 multi effects thing that just isn’t as intuitive and the end results not as good since my Line 6 Variax died and I’m back on Fenders.

          Thanks for the point about the bag though - probably worth the money in the longer run.

            I think a lot of the MINI delta cost could be in the battery. There were a couple Spark 40 threads about six or so months ago concerning 3rd party battery packs compatible with the Spark. I seem to remember the ones under discussion were in the $100 range. Assuming the internal battery is a variation, that could make up a fair amount of the difference between the MINI and the competition. However, it doesn’t sound like the battery function is of value in your application.
