    Forgot to mention that you might also want to have the "Output" knob on the Spark 40 turned down all the way so you avoid getting the dry tone playing at the same time as the sounds from Bias!

      THIS is what I've been looking for. I'm playing through GarageBand and I kept getting the effects that were at each setting on the amp. Thank you!!!

      But does it matter if the Spark preset is empty or not as long as the output is turned to zero and you are only using the input volume?

    what about all the latency? 10ms is very noticeable and when I lower it I get distortion in the app.

    Are these other options possible ??? 1) Connecting via the AUX in cable 2) Using some FRFR presets you find on the cloud... Have you tested to see the difference sound quality wise?? In fact I'm planning using BIAS FX 2 mobile and my old iPad, but have no RIFF yet... so I'm just trying to figure out all the options. Thanks !

    I have two Spark amp.s ( I play them in stereo ) I have asked positive grid if I can use their Spark application to set both amps to a clean fender sound , they replied " No" and offered no solution ( Then closed the case before I could respond ). Do you know of any fix for this ?Do you know of a video that offers a solution to this ? thx

    So, just in closing, if ol Saint Nick brings me a Spark 40 amp, I can use Bias FX with it. There are some packs on sale. Acoustic and Bass. I told my mom but Positive Grid said they are not compatible.

    • @oliverzemo3936
      @oliverzemo3936  4 года назад +3

      I heard that some sparks come with an ungrounded power supply that might contribute to the feedback. The only other things I can think of is making sure the output knob on the spark is down all the way or it could be something to do with the input/output volume slides on bias itself. I'm not sure what else it could be but it's always good to update firmware/software. Can you tell if it's feedback from the amp side of things versus the bias side?

    Totally new to the amp modeling world. So, honest question, why would you want to do this? Why not just use the effects in the Spark? Is the Bias FX2 a lot better?

      Bias FX2 isn't necessarily better it just has a wider range of sounds. I'm too broke to buy proper monitors right now so this is my only way of messing around with bias FX2 without using headphones
