Thanks Baz, always wondered about these little ones, much better than expected. 👍🏻

Yep, very pleasantly surprised - throw it in a bag and go. I guess I'd like a little amp sounding like this that I could control WITHOUT an app doing it.. but... there we are.

This was shockingly better than expected. Now, we need to get a Spark mini in your hands to do a review. I know you did the 40 and the To Go.

Thanks. Would love to see a few more of such reviews. There are several ukuleles nowadays with pickups, I have one, yet I am ignorant of amps and how to use them with different types of ukulele, so these reviews are useful.

Cool little amp! I read that the rubber on the back is so you can lay it down and some.."ahem" ..bass... will transfer to the furniture it's on. I wondered about using the Spark Go on a solid body instead of something like a Nova U with Acousticplus when I saw it. Thanks for going ove the amp!👍👍

I think you are right - when recording an earlier take of this it toppled back and certainly sounded louder! Would work fine on an Enya with a pickup.

That was a very good review. I agree with what you said, that maybe some time back small amps were tinny and weak, just for practising. But this has some character to it, plus the addition of computer tech to enable backing playback or for your instrument or as a speaker, plus apps to give a wide variety of sounds and a fuller sound. Would appeal to many I guess.

Funnily enough I got the Spark Go to accompany my first guitar (electric) the Blackstar Carry On you reviewed- Neat little thing so thanks for putting that on my radar. Alongside the cable lead, I also opted for a plug in wireless transmitter and receiver. While not as clear as a line, great for walking around without worrying.

I have 3 in my family 😂 2 for the kids to use on electric guitars as they learn and 1 for me doing a bit of Uke and a bit of guitar. Brilliant for sheer portability and bedroom practice. Also you can play songs through it and play along. If youre really worried about software support you could just make aure you amend the presets to what you need and they'll presumably always be there. I use it as a bluetooth speaker as well.

great review- here is a small tip- it's a great little amp- but ... if for some reason - you get a high pitched squeal- ( more like an air raid sound) - you will not be able to turn it off- do not beat it with a hammer- it will make it stop- but not in a good way.lol if this happens , press and hold down power button for 20 seconds and it should shut off ( if not then use the hammer- spark did send me a brand new one after that - but said i should have tried the reset. )

I have the bigger brother, the Spark Mini, but both use the same app, which has a few very usuable acoustic tones for ukulele (with some tweaks to the various settings). However, my biggest issue is the lack of one of my favorite features when playing guitar with the Spark app - the guitar chords that are generated for any song you can find or even add from you're own library. There are no ukulele settings, like in Choridfy for example, where you can change your instrument so that it displays ukulele chords, only guitar chords. You can still jam along with effects but having the chords scrolling along is a nice feature that I hope they update one day to include ukulele. But, I should add, for baritone ukulele the guitar chords feature is still very useful.

I like the software. I like the sound. I don't like using it because the guitar cable pushes it all over the place and off the table or wherever I have it.

Yes it does - though i've been since told the ribs on the back are designed for laying it flat and they also increase bass response!

thanks for the review, I am really not having a moan but on the spark go website it say that the headphone socket is a "1/8" Headphone/Line Output" having line-out could make a big difference for some, once again thanks for the review

I've seen this around the internet for a year or two, I really don't want apps for playing music etc... but I still kind of want this regardless! But it is kind of a bad decision to buy it if you are gonna ignore the online functions I realize. If it had more presets I could justify it. Really cool thing for people that don't mind using apps etc in their playing though, just not for me I suppose.

Yeah - the 'smart ' stuff needed pointing out. But then, so much stuff is now - and so long as people KNOW it relies on that (mainly) I'm kind of cool with it. I don't think mobile phones are disappearing soon.

Ermmm.. correct. Not sure of the point you are making? It's literally a product for people with ukes they can amplify. That's like me reviewing a ukulele case but saying it's 'useless' because you play a Tuba.
