Does anyone know if it’s possible to cobble together an experience that’s like the Positive Grid Spark (small amp with fx modelling) but also able to run a cable out to my 4x12 ?

All those modelling amps only output to powered speakers 😒

And the PG Spark has Facebook and Google trackers in the app that comes with it 🤢

I’ve got a Line 6 Toneport UX1 from back in the day - and I love the tones from the amp modelling software that comes with, but that needs to be hooked up to a Windows computer, which is a faff.

I basically want that system but packaged into an amp box with a touch screen, and a line out to my 4x12. That would be sick.

Are there any competitors to Positive Grid that are building something like that?

    You’d need a separate power amp to power the 4x12, so something like the SD PowerStage series, Harley Benton GPA-100, mooer baby bomb, or a flat response bass amp, and then you could use any modeller you like.

      keep in mind your modeller must be able to disable any cabsim, otherwise you’d effectivley run a recirded guitar cab through another guitar cab, which sounds like absolute ass.
