HOLY CRAP! I just now FINALLY realized that the "tones" are displayed on the screen below the amp in about the least noticeable way possible. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I have verified (as of 5/11/2020) and provided the tone names and authors below. *** THANK YOU TO LS who provided the timestamps in another comment*** Artist: Spark Amp Tone Cloud Name and Author (iPhone app search is dodgy; try searching for the first word of the name and scroll a bit) 0:25 Joe Bonamassa: "Bonamassa Plexi" by Mike Bullard 0:51 Slash: "Rich Slash" by Steven Carreon 1:33 James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett: "Metallica" by Rocco Di Filippo 2:12 Tony Iommi: "The mighty sabbath" by Sanford Mcnamara Jr 2:49 David Gilmour: "Gilmour" by Neil Adamson 3:22 John Mayer: "JM (PhD Z Route 66 Amp)" by Mardi Morillo 3:52 Jimi Hendrix: "Dylan Jimi" by Dylan t 4:13 Gary Moore: "Gary Moore Solo" by Konstantin Kolesnikov 4:53 Van Halen: "Van Halen" by Marco Pinzi 5:23 John Petrucci: "Dream Theater" by Dian Spaov 😃 And for what it's worth, to the people complaining about the tones not being "legendary," I think the point was that these are based on legendary guitar players/tones, not that these particular presets are necessarily legendary. They can be used as a good jumping off point, however. Once you download them you can edit and save them as you like. Hope this post is helpful!

[@richardtippins8322]

[@fretboardfatfingers8774]

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that the SPARK is sitting atop a powered down, Holiest of all KEMPER that costs thousands with NO cab. And the spark is like $300 bucks and emulates virtually everything? Not knocking the Kemper, but I'm sure the folks at Positive Grid are eating it up!

[@larrysvintage]

main problem being that the spark 40 is absolute junk, i got one thinking it'd be the be all and end all, it's the lamest bit of kit i ever made the mistake of buying

[@jerryscary2602]

@@larrysvintage why??

[@larrysvintage]

@@jerryscary2602 the sound is thin and lame, the controls are minimal on the actual amp, connecting to anything by bluetooth , phone or ipad etc, takes time. it's just naff. i used it a couple times with backing tracks via the app but other than that I lent it to someone and didn't bother getting it back. save your cash

[@silvermanewj1898]

Well lessee, I'm listening to the demo on my Vox Adio Bass amp and other than metal all of which sounds muddy to my ears anyway, the Spark doesn't sound that bad- junky construction maybe?

[@kristopherthomas7166]

I’ve had my Spark since February. It’s this cool. Honestly, I have the Boss Katana mini air and I still play through that amp more than the Spark because of the wireless wake up feature and the portability. If the Spark had a wake up wireless transceiver and could be battery powered, I’d ONLY play through it. It’s louder. It’s deeper. The tones are just as good if not better and it has all of those pre-set tones that sound pretty damn close to what they’re emulating. So glad I jumped on the pre-order of this amp. Nobody is paying me to say this. If you ordered one and haven’t received it yet, be patient. It’s worth the wait. You’re going to have a smart amp unlike anything you’ve ever played through before. If you just can’t wait, get a Boss Katana mini air. Still my favorite jam out practice smart amp.

[@Mindmapinc]

I've had the Spark since 2020 & just pre-ordered the Spark Mini (March 2022). It has many of the same features as the full size Spark, but is battery powered (up to 8 hrs), weighs 3lbs & is only 7x6x5 inches. Not sure about wireless wake up (probably not as I believe it will be Bluetooth only). Needed something a little more portable so there would be NO excuse not to practice!

[@spottedliver]

Hi. Funny you mention that. I just ordered my Spark Mini last week, which runs on battery power. If you dream things, sometimes they do come true. Cheers.

[@texomaha8317]

I bought one of these amps, from a friend of mine who is a Nashville recording artist (Justin Johnson), and I love it. Some people said it gave too much bass. I use the included EQ, and that fixes that. LOVE the tone cloud! Also love the 4 presets I can set on the box itself once I hit the perfect tone. I also love the "search for songs" feature - I play along with many famous artists with the videos, and the visual chord progressions that go along with it are amazing! I have played so much more using this amp. Worth every penny.

[@greggcarey9641]

I finally got mine yesterday. Wife bought it for my Christmas present around the third week of Nov. 2019. It is very impressive, worth the wait and I have not really scratched the surface yet. Iv tried all the features and was blown away! The sound and projection of this amp is amazing. Two things Id like to see down the line. Someway to battery power it with recharge capability and a built in wireless system for the guitar input.

[@TheFairway8]

Gregg Carey got mine couple of days ago it really is a versatile practice amp brilliant in fact like yourself I would like it to be re chargeable battery for even more portability but maybe that’s just nit picking

[@killerhit00]

Have any of you guys been able to get your spark amp to sound like what we're hearing here ? Because I haven't, I wonder if he's running through a mixer, because I'm not getting these kind of tones on this amp right out of the box, still tweaking

[@phenixreturns]

[@BillyNoon]

@@killerhit00 Did get a decent Cult sound. Brian Setzer was pretty good too. some are just another shred fest. Just starting to look at DAW etc, whole new world.

[@jorgeasesino]

@@phenixreturns It's very weird. in fact a musician youtuber said that several factory presets are bad and you have to change them so that they sound as close to the original as possible.in fact the Jimi Hendrix package (the new one) is all misconfigured and you sound anything but Jimi and they made that very clear (still being sponsored by the amp lol)It is the most real review I have seen about amplifier and also says bad things about it and good things (from an objective and analytical point of view). So yeah, don't expect the patches to sound the same as the record, because you'll get one disappointment and more with the packages that cost you lol

[@boredfish80]

Incredible tones! My Spark mini turned up today and it's insane. On a side note, signatures, stickers, etc on guitars isn't a bad thing...but when I see either on a Les Paul, I cry a little inside :D

[@chatter7653]

Now that was a great example of how this amp is SO much more than a 'practice amp', as Spark and many KZbin channels refer to if (though understandable since it includes all the software extras for learning, jamming and practicing)....it's literally an all in one roomful of amps for RECORDING with pro results! Great job and kudos. Now I'm very interested as a former Kemper owner myself how it compares soundwise to you... Super stoked to get mine!

I've been playing on it for 6 months (with a very good Les Paul). It's amazing. I have to make an effort to put the guitar down. I have the mini. it's huge. If you pair it with a phone it's unlimited. High quality sound, expressive. Playing subtleties respected. I've had a rockman in the 80's, a Boss ME5, a Vox with a lamp , a pod...etc etc. I played them all with the same guitar. This is above. Not for the scene for sure but there's probably a way to do this too.
