The FIRST SPARK Amp Alternative?
This is the Mooer SD30i intelligent amp, a viable alternative to the spark amp and has a 5 hour rechargeable battery!
Plenty of features on this amp with 2 x 4" speakers giving a nice low end and an amp like sound, with 52 amp models, 25 cabs, 126 different effects, bluetooth footswitch option, bluetooth in for backing tracks, 9 switchable effects straight from the amp and a smartphone app with tone cloud and many different options including 40 drum patterns, a looper and tuner, the looper and drums can also be synced.
As an Amazon affiliate i earn a small commision should you purchase the product without it costing you any extra:
Mooer SD30i: amzn.to/3NQaKiD
The amp can also be used as an audio interface and has a headphone jack for silent practice.

Thanks Chip!!! Appreciate that
Very interesting I amp! I would love to see a comparison between this amp, the Spark, and the new NUX Mighty Space amp. Thanks so much for making this video!

I have a Spark 40 and its maybe the best money ive ever spent on gear. However, if it had been any more expensive than it was, i wouldn't have been able to get it in the first place. The price point of the Spark is maybe its most under rated feature. These little amps aren't replacements for gigging amps. They're for students and hobbyists and the prices should reflect that. Mooer makes very good quality stuff, i know, but these kinds of amps, regardless of who makes them, should remain under the 250 dollar mark in my opinion.
The Spark would be the perfect practice amp if it had a looping feature/pedal & a separate channel for vocal mic input. 👍🏼

Love my Spark 40, but the lack of looping has kind of been a downer. Honestly, now that they have the foot pedal there’s no reason they couldn’t add a looping feature that you can adjust like the other effects. Kind of surprised they haven’t. That said, I think I recall seeing a mod where someone added an XLR jack for a mic on the back.

I too like my Spark 40; but I need more.......POWER !
Ehh I do not know about the first alternative, I have a Blackstar 2 and I love it! Great volume, Tonal and modeling options! I think it dates before the MOOR
Which one sounds better, that's all I want to know! Which one is Less boxy like a practice amp
Spark has the ecosystem built and its more friendly IMO. Got one for $230 and it seems like a solid piece for the price. They really need to add a looper and battery. Then it would be perfect. Also better speakers. Im sure thats all coming in the next version
Doesn’t seem too bad, I like the battery and bluetooth. So, my pick would be the spark with those 😂. I know the spark has a bluetooth pedal, but it connects to the app, not the actual amp which I don’t like as much as I would if it just connected to the amp.

Sounds good, but so does the Spark. The SD30i right now on Amazon is $315 while the Spark with a rtack record and massive community is going for $269 I think they needed to come in under $200 if your going to make a clone of an existing product. The battery is really what the Spark is missing though so if you need that, then the SD30i could be your amp.

Agreed. Though a battery and a looper would seal the deal on a Spark for me, as it is I am holding off as i have it all in separate components for now- lovely little Joyo Bantamp Bluejay through a Celestion Vintage cab, a Digitech Trio Plus and a Zoom G4n multi effects pedal, all works together perfectly
Does it record well if connect to a computer and a DAW?

@@DerekPaulGuitar got it! Thanks! I have the katana 50 mkii and i’m thinking if i should return it and get myself the Spark of this Mooer. What would you recommend? I like that the Mooer and Spark have an app so i can use it without a computer

Difficult for me to tell you what will work for you, but the sounds from the Mooer are great and I have only tried the katana briefly, go with your gut feeling! Cheers
Can I run the app on my pc rather than smartphone?

Not sure, but the spark is rated at 40w and this is rated at 30w, it is loud though!

Sorry, the clean sounds were great, but the overdrive sounded awful. Spark needs to make an amp modeling pedal like line 6, Mooer, Valeton, and Zoom has.

Sparks modelling can’t touch that of a line 6 - I’ve ended up using a hx stomp through mine due to its shortcomings. Bear in mind it also costs double what a spark40 does
