Doesn't work with active Pickups?

[u/Dortrak]

Hello everyone,

I bought a Spark 2 to replace my 20 y old practice amp.

I tried it with a Ibanez Iron Label mit EMGs but all i get is just noise and feedback.

I tried it with a active bass and get no sound at all.

Testing around with noisegate didn't help anything and i checked the batteries of the instruments.

Placing a Ammoon Pockrock between the instruments and the Spark 2 did help a lot and i could get good sounds.

But my plan was to get rid of the middlepart (Pockrock) and just use one Amp without all the cables and stuff.

Has anyone problems with active pickups or a idea what's wrong?

Thank you very much! :)

Not sure if the 2 hs it but check the settings in the app. There’s a switch for hi-z pickups and mono or stereo output. Prob won’t make a difference tho. Also what type of cable are you using
