Hi! I hope you don’t mind giving some advice on buying a desktop amp. I’m talking basically about those amp sims with full range mini-speakers. I’ve been playing for years, but I’ve been using amp sims. I’ve previously owned tube amps, but found them inconvenient for practicing and always ended up playing unplugged. I also tried vox amPlug, which was better, but I also dislike having headphones on while playing. So I primarily want a desktop amp that would inspire me to play more.
I’ve looked at various ones online (I don’t really have an opportunity to try them live), which makes a decision very hard.
My list so far:
- Yamaha THR30
- Positive Grid Spark 40
- Hotone Pulze
- Nux mighty space
I also don’t have great PC speakers, so maybe I could also use it as general speaker there. Do you have experience on any of those? Some others? Any advice?
Thanks!
Edit:
Ordered a Nux Mighty Space, it could take a week or two before it arrives. I’ll post an update once I get it. Thanks everyone!
Bah, I have read this already, I hope the difference won’t be that significant. Or that I can tune it to my liking. I’ll have no reference point and I’m just aiming for it to inspire me to play more.
NuX makes good products. Suspiciously good for the price. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
