Positive Grid Spark Guitar Amplifier, Electric, Bass and Acoustic Guitar 40-Watt Combo Amp, Mobile App (Spark Black)

Product Information

I spent more than 14 years on staff, most recently as the director of operations for PC Labs, before hitting the freelance circuit as a contributing editor. Like a truly modern amp the SPARK can connect to your phone to help you learn songs, craft tones, and even use voice commands to control the amp! I knew from the reviews this sounds a little too bassy, but it has an amazing app, is great value and many of the downloadable presets have dialled the bass down. The Auto Chords feature can transpose the chords from any song just by listening, and Smart Jam will accompany your random riffing with a bass and drum track (not a drum n’ bass track, mind). Even without that, it offers a great-sounding and tweakable digital amp experience, with recording capabilities too.

TIPS:We also provide tuition, from bite-sized tips to advanced work-outs and guidance from recognised musicians and stars. A mind-blowing portable powerhouse, Spark MINI delivers innovative, customizable smart guitar playing to go.No matter where you love to play or whether you’re a professional guitarist, a casual player, or even a beginner – there’s a Spark amp for you. You can then access your Apple, YouTube, and Spotify music libraries and control the amp using your phone. It works well on smartphones, but I would recommend the tablet app, since things can be a little finicky and cramped otherwise, especially considering you’ll be adjusting while playing. Positive Grid SPARK gives you access to over 50,000 tones and with custom designed speakers it delivers them all in stunning fashion. Of course, you have heard it all before with regards amp integration blah blah, Bluetooth audio streaming yada yada.

The finish is high quality and there is a leather removable carrying strap for porting it about (at 5. The front of the cabinet sports a black and brown grill cloth with a red Positive Grid badge, and the rest of the cabinet is covered in black textured vinyl. The two 4" custom-designed speakers work in unison with a tuned bass-reflex port to produce a hi-fi grade stereo sound. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.

The embedded Bluetooth radio lets you connect the amp to a mobile device using the Spark mobile app. Then, a friend told me that the buzz-generating Spark practice amplifier had boosted his motivation to play tenfold, so I wondered whether it could do the same for me. Aside from the headline-making connected features, this is essentially a 40W Class-D stereo practice amp. If you’re having trouble keeping up, you can slow down the song or loop specific segments to practice chord changes. Suitable for every style of music and always ready for a jam with its smart jam feature the SPARK amplifier has everything you need in a small portable package and is even suitable for home recording.
