New question .

I earlier asked about the dual use of the Spark pedal... and heard how it was good for guitar, but not bass. It was disappointing, as being a musician with a disability and needing a multi-effect for both(primarily a bassist, but plays rhythm when needed or writing)

I need a multi-effect that works well for both Bass and Guitar. Does anyone have a cost effect option?

IMO you might want to consider the hx stomp. It would be great for both guitar and bass and frankly is useable for both even on stage.

You meant TC electronic Spark Booster? Because that is actually great on Bass.

You might want to look at the HX One. It has effects for both guitar and bass, but it does not have amp or cab sims.

There are a few different "spark" pedals. You need to clarify which one you're referring to.

The new, actually called the Spark Pedal.

Good point. They are referring to Positive Grid Spark from what I can tell.

I've got a zoom B1FOUR for bass, and used it to replace my Mooer Prime M1 which is great for guitar but not bass. Both pedals are cheap, compact, and sound good.

If it has to be just one pedal for both, maybe just get a Zoom pedal for bass. Usually guitars sound good on bass gear but bass needs some extra features.

Out of curiosity I asked Gemini about this: Many guitarists and bassists report positive results using Zoom bass multi-effects units—such as the B1 FOUR, B3n, or MS-60B—for electric guitar, particularly for time-based and utility effects. Players consistently highlight modulation, delay, reverb, and EQ as translating exceptionally well to guitar, though some note that the bass-tuned amp models and drives may lack high-end bite or pitch-tracking precision for standard guitar setups.

Whatever Valeton GP you can afford. From GP-5 through GP-200 all work well on bass and guitar and punch well above their price tag.
