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!
