Ralph Rutschmann Thats funny bro! Yeah it does sound like an add. It’s not. I’m genuinely happy with it. I’ve been playing since the early 90s. After getting this little practice amp I’ve been playing way more daily. It’s a convenience factor. I don’t have to plug in my board and mess with my amps. I can just plug into the spark and jam while sitting on the couch.

@@calebscrazyamazinglife1795 I had got one of the very first runs of them. Mine might have been from the very first release. I didn’t experience that issue. I ended up ordering another for my 18 year old nephew about 5 or 6 months after I had gotten mine. He did tell me he was getting a static type noise or something similar. I didn’t get to hear it in person. He lives in a different state than I do. I had suggested to him at the time that it could be either a grounding issue or a dirty power issue. I know he has a Monster clean power suppressor for his computer and entertainment center. I had suggested he plug into one of the clean power ports and to also look up guys having any grounding problems with their later revision models. I’m pretty sure there were some people out there that had used a different power supply and remedied theirs. My nephew never complained about his again after and I’m not sure what he had done to fix it. I’m hoping it was as simple as moving it to cleaner electrical outlet. When I hear from him I’ll find out for sure. If you find a solution I’d like to know what you did. Thanks.

Ordered mine in mid February, recieved it last week (mid Aug)... almost 6 months to the day. Anyway the wait was worth it. I can't believe what a full sound it has and I can't believe how small it is! Super powerful and really amazing. Aparently Positive Grid have them in stock at the moment, so people ordering now don't need to wait as long. If you were to buy one, I think you'll be happy.

The most useful Spark video I’ve ever seen. Some users want 8 million different variations; I just want somebody to tell me how to get the best amp sounds possible out of a modeler. I spend way too much time trying to find a sound I like, when I could be improving my playing. Was about to sell everything😜- including my Pod Go; nothing bad to say about that but I’ve wasted countless hours messing with sounds - but now I’m going to work with my Spark Mini, your five featured amps, and my Powercab 112 Plus to settle on half a dozen righteous sounds. Thank you so much Darrell!!! I also owe the purchase of my two VOLA guitars (fantastic! and what value for the money!) to your reviews. Thanks for everything you do! My only - final - wish would be for all the settings you used for the effect pedals in these sounds (or, as another use suggested, you would upload these five presets to ToneCloud). I desperately want what modelers can provide, but without all the hassle.😂 Guess I should go look at ToneCloud to see if you already did it, huh? 😂

This amp never lets me down, the tone is always there unlike many amps that seem to sound different everyday.

I'm lucky I guess since I just recently purchased it and there was no delay in shipping. I really wish they would make the app available in windows. Using a cell phone is problematic for me due to my eyesight. Emulators don't seem to handle the Bluetooth. dialing the knobs is problematic at best on my phone. So now I'm shopping for a tablet that will work without breaking my bank.

Darrell, thx for the video. I got mine about 2 months ago. I wish i'd known about it earlier because it have been invaluable to get me thru the NZ total lockdown. It is a great product. Anyway - a tip for you. Instead of clicking on the effects pedal and then click the on / off switch you can actually swipe up or down on the icon of the pedal which will turn it off or on. When the icon is in full colour it's on, when it is "dulled" it is off. A great tip dont you think ?

I’m really enjoying my spark so far. I agree that it’s super dark. I almost always have the bass all the way or almost all the way down and the treble up. The kid is really the place to tune your tone. What I really like though is that I can get a really good inspiring tone at super low volume. I live in a thin walled apartment so that’s important for me.

@@goldbug1974 The issues with the Spark are well known. They have tried to release and market a product in the worst year in most of our memories. Massively underestimated demand and haven't been able to cope. I expected a six month wait, receive after five. The amp is fine, and pretty much does everything they claim. Sorry you got a dud.

Darrell, I purchased my spark amp about 2 years ago and I am still trying to get more familiar with the many, many different tones included in the amp, short of even traveling into the realm of the cloud. Let me clarify that a bit. I am really old school, 60"s, late 60's when I started teaching myself how to play. Never really played with a band, although some friends and I tried, it just never worked out! Back then my equipment was a pre-CBS Fender Tele, and a 100 watt Silvertone amp. Clean as pedals were just starting to evolve, i.e., The Maestro Distortion and Cry Baby Wah, but at the time, who could afford them, unless you were Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, etc.. But then life got in the way of my playing. Until our son wanted to learn Bass. That is when I restarted my interest. But then life got in the way 2 years ago, with a heart attack the required 6 by-passes, and 2 other arteries cleaned out. Now, it is difficult for me to even try to finger barre chords and finger chords, and that sucks because now I have a lot of time to practice, and the instruments to use, and can't really!

I borrowed a Spark 40 from a friend to make sure I liked it as well as I did in his studio. I do. It's actually loud enough to use on many of the smaller venues we play! I decided to buy one. Filled out their order form with my newer (1 year) address. It was shipped to my old address, which I did NOT even give them! Their tracking showed it had been delivered, but was nowhere to be found, so wanted to call to find out what the problem was when I discovered THEY DON'T HAVE A PHONE NUMBER!! Their "customer service" is, send an email and wait a day or two! Then talk (via two day email) to someone who can't help you. Upon researching, I found LOTS of complaints about their customer service! I'm thinking of sending it back (IF it ever arrives). Even though I like the amp, customer service is VERY important to me, and I don't want to do business with a company who won't provide a phone number, even if it's answered by a well-trained person in India or The Philippines. just letting y'all know.

I purchased a spark for my son who's learning to play guitar and it arrived a couple of weeks after I purchased it. I was expecting it to take longer from what I'd seen on some forums. Anyway I had an issue with the power supply and the customer service was just amazing from Positive Grid. I don't usually review online but I felt like I had to just because they have been so awesome. They always get back to you with emails within a few hours. Ive now gone and wasted a heap of cash I didn't really need to spend on a second Spark for myself and Bias FX 2 to use inside the box with Logic.

I just ordered mine yesterday from their 25% off sale. Got the package with the carrying case because I'm a truck driver and figured that will help keep it protected on the road. Can't wait to try it! I hope I don't have to wait several months like others have said.

Still sounds like a modeller vs a nice tube amp to me, but it sounds really good. For the current 25% off price it's a must buy imo. I hate usb direct, so micing it would prob fool me vs a real tube amp on some settings. I wonder if it'd be worth it for them to come out with a bigger head or combo version?

A modeller that sounds/feels exactly as a real tube amp is still not available (even tough a Kemper would probably fool me) ;), and especially not for this price. For what it is supose to do I believe nothing can compare to the Spark. Still not that many videos out there that sounds terrible, and even this one recorded directly sounds great. So for a tool to help me practice in my appartment I think it will be great. For everything else I go with my amp :D

Fully agree, people that expect a good tube feel for this money will be disappointed (and imho they have a limited sense of realism :-) ). But for what it is supposed to be and the price I think it sounds pretty good.

He’s going direct into his DAW via the USB. He explains it at around :46 seconds in. The tiny little speakers built into the amp will never reproduce as full of a range. But this is what the Spark software sounds like when you bypass the hardware limitation.
