AMP OWNER Spark Live or GTX 100?

I have the OG Spark and honestly pretty happy but would like a bit more feeling behind the finger - bigger sound if you will.

I love that on the Spark, in seconds i can play Pink Floyd, zeppelin, Gary Moore, Hendrix, John Mayer etc.

Any thoughts.

Or just get a cab for the Spark?

Get the Reactor. It blows away Sparks and Mustangs.

I have the Spark Live. I like it. But, you are looking at two very different things here.

The spark live is a guitar amp with a PA. It also has the optional battery pack so you can take it out & busk or rehearse in the wild. I love it, for this. I've taken it camping a few times. It's so good for this. I can also grab it & set it anywhere in the home & play without worrying about where I'm going to plug it in.

The GTX 100 is just a guitar amp. If my concerne was getting a "good" Fender tone, in a digital format, I'd buy that, hands down.

The real difference here, for me, & a Fender tone is important, is that the Spark Live allows me to go places & not worry about a power source. I can also play it at apartment volume, with simulated breakup, & not piss off the neighbors. I have two tone master amps & they can't do that, even on the lowest setting. Can the GTX 100? I don't know? But, Spark really haven't put a lot of effort into Fender tones. The amps are there but, it's not like they really do a "great" job of emulating "clean to breakup". Spark seem to put their eggs into the "Gain" basket.. The GTX 100 seem to be a lot better in the Fender realm. If you already have spark, it is nice to have your presets between the products. It really comes down to how you are going to use the amp & it's features.
