60 year guitarists here. owned it all 4x :) i bought a spark go 2 days ago. plugged it into my HR 108 and have been playing ever since. ,my spark was really bright so i added an eq pedal between it and the HR. killed the irritating frequencies. i had read that the spark was bassy but mine was not. i had zero probs getting it all to work and it pairs with my phone perfectly. i play mostly satriani tunes so the sustained lead is where i live. i found that the american hi-gain is the ticket for me. just ordered the footswitch. with a bit of tweeking it sounds just as good as my tonex,helix,etc. i cannot imagine how they can sell this quality of tones for this price.

Recently got the Spark 40 and love it! Great for both guitar and bass, great for both home practice and small practice sessions with friends. It wouldn't keep up with a drummer though (especially when I'm playing bass), so I'm considering eventually buying the Cab for it (there's no big hurry though as I don't currently have any gigs). Hoping they eventually make the Cab in white/pearl too, as my Spark 40 is white, it would look perfect!

You know, I hadn't played my Spark in quite while until last weekend. I got a new strat (a daphne blue '62 avri) and updated the firmware on the Spark as well as updated the app and it sounds noticeably better. Before it was too dark or muffled, too much bass. But it sounds a tad brighter and it's really a great little amp and I use it primarily with headphones at nice. They couldn't have made a more user friendly platform with this thing and it's endless options. The dumble-esque amp REALLY sounds good. That one was the sweet spot with my new strat! Anyway, I might look into this cab, although I don't really have a use for one, it looks really really nice!

I know this has probably been said before but 2 features I wish Positive Grid would add to their Spark application is being able to use different types of speakers/cabinets within the app itself since they have already came out with this new speaker cabinet and also adding the BIAS FX/BIAS Amp 2 into the app like they have before in their previous apps but maybe they will in the near future. I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t add those features to the Spark amp since this new cabinet has came out unless I’m missing something lol but who knows, time will tell.

The only thing holding me back from using my Spark 40 and purchasing a Spark Cab for large venues is the fact the Spark EQ and Modulation cannot be used separately in the same Preset/Tone. If PG created a SPARK software update with separate EQ and Modulation I would purchase a Spark Cab. I play Rock, Pop, Funk and Ballads with a weekend gigging band so I use a variety of Tones. I don’t find it practical or effective to add an external EQ as I use different EQ settings for different Tones. Until then or if it ever happens I will continue using my high end Guitar Effects Processor. But keeping my fingers crossed that it may happen some day.🤞

Darrel, here’s a topic for you. Which type of cabinet is louder, sealed or open back. You could test this with two cabs or a convertible cab and if you use two cabs, use the same speaker in both. I’ve heard that sealed cabinets project the sound better, but an open cab can provide a bigger radiating effect when positioned in a room properly.

I have a Spark 40 and am thinking about the cab. The only thing about the 40 is the fact that even with all it's innovation, they didn't build a looper system in it. To me, that would be the ultimate. Instead of introducing smaller and smaller amps why not come out with something similar to the 40 with that looper system built in. Call it the "40plus" maybe. I would buy it.
@jasonswitzer1748
@jasonswitzer1748 11 ай бұрын
I 100% agree with you. The lack of a looper is the one thing holding me back from getting a Spark. Side note… why the heck is fender not in this space? I know they have their little Mustang GT20s or whatever it’s called, but it doesn’t work with the a fender Tone app, and I don’t think it has a looper either. To me, a looper is a no brainer. I wonder if it’s just software based? If so, they could add the feature to current Spark owners and generate some goodwill. If they ever make a Spark 40+ or whatever they’d call it, I’d like a looper, a wired 4 or 7 button foot switch (the wireless one should be comparable… just make that optional), and perhaps even a wireless system to compete with the katana air. Find a way to undercut the Katana Air and they would sell a million of these things.

@@jasonswitzer1748 The XSONIC footswitch can add a looper to the Spark but I want to research it a little more. Also, since we are on the subject of a Spark 40+, they should add a second input jack.

Spark Cab sounds good. My dilemma, my amp will output XLR (DI) to an FRFR like this Spark Cab or regular amp output to 8 ohm cab. I know there's pro and cons to either, I'm just not settled yet which is ideal for me today. I rarely use a speaker these days, doing mostly recording the DI so either way I want to keep the cost low. There are some good 12" cabs with at low prices. Whereas FRFR cabs are pricey though this Spark Cab seems reasonable. For garage/venue a 8ohm cab is best, but for working with mix boards the FRFR is, but I could end up either way that rare time.

Is this rugged enough to travel around to gigs, sessions, jams etc.? The input, aux, and power connections on my Spark 40 have all shorted or failed in some way, so my impression is that Positive Grid's general build quality is not up for regular use/wear and tear. Although it sounds great for what it is, I have come to consider the Spark 40 more of a cool toy than a reliable piece of gear.

My Spark 40 all of a sudden stopped working. When I have a guitar plugged in, it has no sound output. Weirdly, it still works perfectly fine as a Bluetooth speaker. Seems like a pretty common issue since I gave seen several other people experiencing the same thing. Pretty disappointed since I didn't even use it that much and it is already broken. Unfortunately it is out of warranty too, so I'm basically stuck with a Bluetooth speaker that I paid hundreds of dollars for. Won't be getting anything else from Positive Grid because of their poor QA.

Contact help and support. They can replace it for a cost, although challenging them that it’s unacceptable is worth pursuing. Here’s what their email actually says - “Upon checking your issue, we've verified your unit as out-of-warranty, please note that a fee of 60 USD is needed for the process.” The process means a new replacement. Of course, it would need postage adding on. All details are provided in the email from their support. You could get the replacement and sell it and get a fair chunk back. Regardless, contact support and see what is offered.

Others have complained about this as well. You can sorta EQ this out of course (getting it off the ground helps too), but the speaker is not even remotely close to flat in frequency response. Likely the PG Cab will sound better than the Headrush unit, but that is not saying much.

It's not my thing. If I really want to play guitar in a band context I would buy me a proper amp and a good cabinet, because you need a solid and good sound. If I only play guitar for practicing, it could be an option... it also depends on the type of music you want to play.

Me being me, get the go plug it into it, use and A/B box and plug in the 40 and walla overkill. And maybe stuff some socks in the ports. I wish they put the c to c cable in the box.

Do you think it sounds any better than the Spark 40 at low volumes? Is volume the only advantage of the cab or does it improve the bass response, make it less muddy etc?

I have tried my bass through the cab and I was surprised at how good it was, I am happy that I took the plunge I bought it to supplement my Spark amps I am thinking of getting a Fender Tonemaster Pro as this is FRFR I am hoping it will perform as well as it does with the Spark amp

I would like to know how it sounds with a bass guitar. The Spark 40 was all about how you could use bass on it and it sounded pretty good. Curious if the cab still handles a bass guitar tone well

Cab seems to have heavy bass. The versatility is great though. Wish it wasn't so dark and heavy on the tone with heavy metal. It sounds like a push or whoosh when it chugs. For the home it is way plenty loud enough for sure maybe a quarter, anything louder and I will make the family mad...LOL Good product maybe a firmware update will fix the deep base. I sill like a tube amp better for any gigs, but for a practice amp and hanging around, you can't beat the Spark.

Why on earth the 19v output, is that so someone somewhere can blow their pedals up? 18v would make more sense, but not much. 12v at 2.5A would have been handy. Looks and sounds good otherwise. Woofy? Turn the bass down a bit?

I love my Spark 40 and Mini for practice but I can't imagine using them for gigging. Not because of how loud it is or how it sounds. It just wasn't built with features for gigging. There are a lot better options for gigging at $500(Spark and Cab). I'm sure it will be a huge success anyway!

@@jasonswitzer1748 you need to be able to control everything with your feet which you can't really do even with an add on pedal. More than 4 presets. Floor tuner. Control multiple effects with 1 switch. Expression/volume pedal. Setlists. If you look at something like a Pod Go or HX Stomp, you will see dozens of gigging features that the Spark doesn't have. No shame for the Spark. It was built to be a practice amp and it's great for that. It has lots of practice features that other amps don't have.

noo chance, once you have it you will be hounted as long as your channel exists. the only solution is to create a new channel, and hope that they will not find you too soon again.a lot of serious YT influencers had to do this just to make their channel appear more serious again since telegram make every channel look unserious and takes away all the the fun of making comments anymore.
