Asking for a dad.
Seriously asking for my dad. He plays ukulele and is now wanting an electric version so he can amplify is sound at church and his ukulele group. He specifically brought up The Eagles Hotel California solo. So he was asking me about wireless jacks so he can plug into existing/friends amps. I saw the Spark wireless ones for $70 and then saw the Spark Go as an option to also have his own mini amp for home.
Seems the biggest benefit is its portability and tonal options via the app. Same app as the other Spark stuff, which seems very convincing. @LPMojoGL got some great tones out of his Spark Mini. You can also plug in headphones and plug into laptop/any DAW - so appears it would also work for some basic recording. Cons include some latency and a 2" speaker will not handle bass frequencies very well. And if you are not handy using apps, you may not like how app heavy this is.
That said, he did tell me he is considering a baritone version of ukulele but I know nothing about any of this.
Thoughts?
Potential competition includes:
Blackstar Fly
Fender Mustang
Boss Katana Mini
Considering one for myself to cure my cabin fever
