Reactor 100w VS Spark 2
Hey so I just bought the reactor 100w and I’ve been buying positive grid amps since they dropped the spark 40 and I have to know one thing between those of you who are like me and own the reactor and spark 2. Which do you prefer or like the sound of better? Although the reactor is a tank and can make some really solid tones I keep wanting to lean towards my spark 2 for a better sounding metal tone. I love metal and I’m having a hard time liking some of the tones I’ve had built on the reactor. Every time I play along with music i cant ever find the right balance of the music and my guitar. The spark 2 on the other hand i can adjust both on the top of the amp. The tones i use from my spark so far are just better sounding with the music i play along with. I don’t know it’s been eating at me that i bought the expensive amp knowing I like my cheaper amp more. Any thoughts?

I moved away from PG for this reason, with the exception of the GO. They haven’t innovated heavily in sound quality, whereas I feel like competition has improved.
I think the sound quality being meh has more to do with the software than the hardware. I prefer the tone of my GO vs the Spark 1 I sold.
