One more observation, after a two hour no breaks rehearsal with the Go I brought it home and plugged it into a 10 watt USB charger. It took about 20 minutes to fully recharge.

The Mini does clean electric guitar at that volume with lots to spare and the Go just barely made it. The Go sounds best to me face up on the floor but to get enough clean volume I had to have it up on a table sitting upright. But it did do the job, which is honestly pretty shocking when you see how small and light it is.

[EDIT] I just remember I bought a Might Air last year and returned it to Amazon with in hours of delivery. The Spark's must sound better since I've no urge to return either!
So far mini vs NUX the mini was easier to get tones I liked quickly and has fuller sound with better bass. The NUX has slightly better clarity and is smaller and lighter although the mini is enough in the ballpark I can consider for air travel. The mini has higher headroom and volume on most presets vs NUX.

If the go can keep about the same volume as the NUX and with the fuller tones might be a good option for travel.

I had no interest in the mini because I have a 240W power bank should I need to go off the grid with the Spark 40, but the go looks like it might be a nice step between the Mustang Micro (headphone amp) and the Spark 40 or one of my tube amps…

BTW, you can run a Spark 40 off a USB power bank (check for one that supports 20 volts - generally marketed at laptops) with one of these:

I've had the Spark Mini for about a month. Great technology. Why does the sound fade so quickly with preset selections at less than full volume? Still impressed however.
