Use this cheat sheet alongside the video guide to fast-track your setup process. While the video lets you hear the difference between the AC Boost chime and the SwitchAxe roar, this PDF is your desk reference for the practice room. It breaks down every amp model available in the Spark app, pairing them with their real-world inspirations and specific use cases.
Stop guessing which virtual amp works best for edge-of-breakup blues versus modern metal rhythm. Whether you need the pristine headroom of the clean models or the tight harmonic saturation of the high-gain beasts, keep this guide handy to instantly dial in the right foundation for your tone.
Most players stare at the 30+ amp models in the Spark app and just guess based on the thumbnails. That’s a rookie mistake. The amp is the heart of your tone, the sonic DNA that separates a pro sound from a muddy mess. It’s the main course you have to get right before you start adding the seasoning.
In this video, I cut through the paradox of choice by breaking down the amp models into 5 distinct gain profiles—from the glassy clean of the Silver 120 to the percussive sledgehammer of the Insane 6505. Watch this to find the specific voice that fits your style and stop putting lipstick on a pig.
