@Edgar Randy Instablaster =)

[@edgarrandy5737]

@Dallas Heath I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@edgarrandy5737]

@Dallas Heath it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@dallasheath1669]

@Edgar Randy Glad I could help =)

This is the best video of the Smart Jam I have seen. Nice review and great playing. 👍

[@mknmuzic]

I'm so glad I found your video. That fact you can edit the chords that are generated when you create you own Smart Jam is great. The only disappointment is that it appears there is no way to save your created Smart Jam.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Yea thats true. There's lots of room for improvement in terms of the smart Jam. One work around now, I believe you can USB connect to your laptop and record the jam track to your garageband etc Hope that works :)

[@solofender8303]

This unit is totally awesome for the cost. It is a Jam ON machine! Granted I am no pro. I've been playing for 40 yrs and this thing is is one of the top 5 buy's for my guitar playin ever.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Yea we are loving it so far. The tones are really awesome and for its size.. Wow!

[@Sonic_Ox]

Thank you for another great Spark video. I have one and absolutely love it. It is actually much better than i expected for $224. Heck I have pedals that almost cost the same. The jam along is actually my favorite feature. I am an amateur guitar player and song writer and use the Spark as a practice tool. I think this is what the amp is really designed for. I love the jam along feature for song writing. I play a chord progression and let Spark come up with a rhythm track. I usually edit it a bit for verse, bridge, chorus etc then let it loop while I compose guitar solos and lyrics etc. I find it inspiring and fun. I can easily change amps and effects for the different parts and can find suitable tones quickly. When i get what I want, I just record it using the Presonnus Artist DAW. Easy peasy George and Weezy. Love this thing.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Yea at 224 it's super amazing for all the features you get. Keep jamming and writing and let the creativity flow!

[@warma731]

Well played

[@ericbeard7264]

Thanks for the great video and excellent playing, my friend 🤘🤘

[@GuitarEmerge]

Thanks bro!!

[@kalozakos]

Thank you for the video, the smart jam sounds like a better option than either Dave or Sharon. Fun to watch your head when you play.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Hahaha.. Yes hope the smart jam Dave or Sharon will get better in the future.

[@chrisstratton987]

nice playing sir!!!

[@GuitarEmerge]

Thanks!

[@oldguyjammin9732]

I have to give the nod to the Yamaha THR10ii and I’ve had both \m/

[@magp5851]

Very good videos about Spark 40. How do you record the jamtrack and your solo, using a USB cable and a DAW? Thanks

[@GuitarEmerge]

We mic up the amp. Can't use USB in this case.

[@Arcturian1111]

How do I get to setting up my own simulator from scratch., Say choosing my amp, then choosing my effects individually.

[@GuitarEmerge]

You should think of what kind of sounds you are looking for first :) I generally try to get a, good clean to break up tone from my amp sim, then add slight compressor with reverb. This will be a good base to start.

[@RogerThat902]

Thank you for demonstrating it. I have one coming. I hope the Smart Jam feature improves because w/ the reviews I've seen it has been underwhelming. Your playing was great! If not for that it would have sounded awful. I did like the acoustic backing track though. I will say that. I think because it's a lot simpler. The basslines on the other tracks seem too prominent to me. Perhaps that works more in the funk style but all of them seem to have the bass too loud. It would be really cool if you could select what instruments you put in. Would love to have just an electric guitar playing rhythm chords for example.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Yes we too hope the smart jam features improve in the future. The acoustic backing was from the KZbin playplist that's why it sounded different :) I would like to be able to choose my own drum beats and loop on top of that :) having said all these, the tones, from this small amp sounds huge and amazing!

[@HumbleHeartMinistry]

I’ve seen other’s in videos use the smart jam, and seemed to like it. My opinion for myself is it’s totally worthless. But the I had the pedal that does the same and I didn’t like it either. But I do like the amp, I got mine for $219. And it is worth the price.

[@quit293]

I like your playing better than the amp.

[@gtrslinger6262]

I appreciate the video, but why have music playing as you are talking?

[@love4thetruth]

4/4 only?

[@GuitarEmerge]

Seems like 4/4 only.

[@MrSrimera]

Why do KZbin' s have back ground music when they are trying to explain thing's, so distracting and annoying.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Apologies for that :) Will keep the volume lower next time. Hope you enjoy the demos. Cheers!

[@shambapoo]

@@GuitarEmerge Maybe just turn background music off? Thanks for the video though.

[@brogoram]

Lets hope for a better update.🤣

[@GuitarEmerge]

I'm sure they will work on it :)

[@danb7569]

10000 guitar tones and all I hear is guitar strings

[@Shindog-jg2jo]

When you’re explaining how it works, you shouldn’t have music in the background playing

[@kjellbilstrup5127]

Please stop the music when you speek

[@ListeningPoint]

Smart jam sucks imo. They need to have the option to ditch that horrible midi bass. I hate it.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Hope it gets better :)

[@tombrown732]

Not so smart,, and VERY LIMITED. So disappointed it will not access all my own backing tracks and all music on Apple.

[@GuitarEmerge]

Hopefully it will improve in time to come :)
