Aux In as ""FRFR""

[BuleriaChk]

For those who use an Aux In for amps, drum machines and in general headphone outs, I cane across this extremely portable mixer:
"Just Mixer" on Amazon. So far it is working beautifully with my Headrush Go "FRFR", as well as other portable amps I own that have an Aux In that is not connected to Bluetooth (which adds latency - beware of newer Boss and Positive Grid amps which add BT streaming at the cost of latency).

I Velcro it to the side of my amps There are many choices; I particularly like this one because it has a switch for internal battery, off, and USB power, with a clear LED as to which you're using.)

This is not an issue if you use the Bluetooth input for the intended purpose of streaming pre-recorded audio, backing tracks etc. It's a limitation of Bluetooth that it is too slow to be used for real-time monitoring of a musician playing an instrument.

This has nothing to do with Boss or Positive Grid.

Spark 2 Aux input doesn't add latency, just saying. So you can use this without problems.

The whole point is that I want to be able to use both Aux In for Live Input (e.g., a mic) as well as drum machines, keyboards, etc.). IMO Latency via the Aux In is an unnecessary restriction and a poor design (i.e., I might want to use other modelers). IMO, the user should at least have the option to switch between BT and straight input.

But if you're happy with this limitation, carry on, by all means. My comment was meant as a heads-up, since the marketing hype doesn't mention it.

(Joyo provides OTG inputs via USB-C as well as BT and Aux In in the BSK-40. Not sure about the ACS-20, but it looks like they are independent there as well. /the Yamaha Stagepas 100BTR has independent channels as well.

I am happy about the Spark 2, since I own one, and it seemed that way when I tested it (using the HP out of my GT1000Core). PG t/s told me differently when I asked after purchase, but if true, that is great, since I am underwhelmed by PG's models.
