Positive Grid Spark GO METAL

[@mike_w_21]

Just got mine and it sounds great with tons of versatility by the looks of it. Amazing software! This will be the perfect travel amp.

[@stardustdidi]

just got mine yesterday. IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW, TOO USEFUL

[@TheGorillafoot]

I don't need one, but I want one.

[@stuartrichens724]

It has a rubber rest thing at the side you can use, so you can prevent the cable making it fall over or use a wireless system.

[@borojammin6509]

Not seeing the rubber rest thing.

[@trentreimer130]

Not waterproof?! Sorry, but there's just no way I'm spending my hard-earned money on an amplifier that can't be used in the bath tub.

[@Westbrook2023]

Sounds significantly better when EQ'd to the guitar you are using. Great amp for practicing or doing some improv along with a track (using the bluetooth functionality).

[@Stu411]

How do you do this? The only EQ function I can find is an EQ pedal or the EQ senario function, is this what your talking about?

[@militantmike]

Saw and heard it used live at a big show was very convincing

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

I think that amp sounds great. I remember back in the early 90's using that Marshall micro half-stack battery operated amp, and it was hot garbage, as was all those "pocket amps." Technology has come a long way. I'm sure you'd have to have some presets geared more toward a small speaker, instead of using the same ones you'd use on the bigger Sparks.

[@rk28984]

Back then I tried one of those Marshall micro stacks trough a 4x12 (just plugged the headphone out into the cab) and it sounded pretty dope!

[@vjmtz]

@@redscreentrombone4685 This loser is spamming this entire section. I wouldn't expect this guy knows much about guitar gear let alone audio. This amp is super small and sounds great for what it is - a portable smart amp with a great user interface and community support ecosystem, all for $100-$150 (if you pre-order vs paying later). I think its sounds great for what it is, and its feature rich. Compared to the Fender Micro and Mighty Nuxx - the user interface to me kills those for the same price on all levels.

[@FireMrshlBill]

I remember those crappy Smokey mini amps that advertised it could “power” a full 4x12. I mean, they could but it had no controls and horrible dirty sound. Ended up getting one as a free add on when I bought my 2nd amp back in 2002 (a Crate GFX-212). I saw no point in having a little Smokey amp, was not a pleasant sound.

[@jeffstanford6900]

This thing is Awesome! I too am a survivor of the "Stone age" of portable guitar amp nightmare..had the Tiny Fender, marshall, arion "Hotwatt", Sholz Rockman, even made my own with a homemade distortion box and an old cassette walkman. Solid state garbage!😖😆 Also, had the Roland cube, the boss, Yamaha thr, and I'd rather have this more than any of them. just received my Go less than a week ago, and I Love it! Had the problem with it tipping over or getting pulled off the table so I got a very inexpensive wireless off of Amazon and now I can lay on the bed and have the Go on the night table and not even think twice about it falling over. So, a wireless is recommended. The Spark GO is definitely one of THE best purchases that I've made in a long, long time.

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

This a perfect amp at the beach, around a campfire, having a drink on a balcony or wherever else and jamming out…I’m receiving mine on Monday can’t wait to try it out! Also you don’t need a cable If you have a wireless kit it’s even better!

[@multigreenman1238]

How do you like it so far?

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

[@multigreenman1238]

@@The_Rude_French_Canadian nice to hear! Is it loud enough for an average size room?

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

@@multigreenman1238 Oh yeah more than enough! it’s surprising louder than I expected. It’s not gonna replace my spark 40 but you can jam along to music or with other people with their amps at normal volumes and not get drowned out. Only thing is the sound is directional (neighbours surely appreciate that) so you really have to “aim” it at yourself but it really sounds great. I really wish this existed when I first started playing guitars in the 90’s lol having thousands of great sounding pedals and amps in this little thing is crazy lol

[@multigreenman1238]

@@The_Rude_French_Canadian fuck yes. It definately sounds too good to be real but we are in the future already. Im thinking to get something bigger when I'm more confident in my abilities. What's the next step? A guitar with an integrated amp and speaker xD that's gonna be fun. Thanks for the reply! You just settled my choice :)

[@frauldabissen]

I purchased one and use it for practising. For making noise i use it with an iLoud Speaker. Massive 8-) I love it.

[@jamisonjenkins6675]

I literally watched you play 3 chords and purchased this immediately.

[@ModalGroove]

Worth every penny

[@jamesl5550]

For an ultra portable thing it sounds more than good enough. I'd probably still use my Roland Micro Cube over this in a battery situation, but it is fantastic for its size!

[@antimattah]

I have both a micro cube and the spark go, and I am selling my micro cube. It may have more headroom, but the Spark is better in virtually every way.

[@jamesl5550]

@antimattah since writing this I haven't touched my cube in a hot minute, and will probably end up getting a Spark lol

[@antimattah]

@@jamesl5550 hell yeah haha. I mean, my microcube was a trooper and held its own for a long time. But you can't argue with an amp you can clip to your belt. THE FUTURE IS AMAZING

[@jamesl5550]

@antimattah haha true it paid its dues and then some. Yeah I'm really excited about the future of gear, I mean hell, I mostly use amp sims on the daily and they're pretty much like the real deal. Who knows what will be next...

[@toddhoudek6104]

Simply use a right angle input into the amp and that will greatly reduce the problem of the amp being "top heavy".

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

It’s so much fun. I have the 40 in my jam space but I take the GO in my backpack to work to jam while I wait of my ride home Or to my bedroom to jam while I watch tv. It’s a huge motivator to Jam and practice more often

[@gclarke180]

I used mine for harmonica through the PA with splitter lead at a loud jam, just got a somming cable with the resistors fitted to try with a Quilter Micro block and also my amp

[@12breacher82]

Have the OG Spark 40. Was disappointed I could not use previous positive grid presets right away. Ended up using it as a BT speaker mostly. But, it still gets some use. This little thing isn’t that damn bad for being a tiny thing! Honestly pretty useful. Good demo of it not mic’d up!

[@safutentag7406]

5:25 Woah, that is the best Metal sound for that tiny little amp. Anybody knows the name of the preset in the app?

[@MrPazuzu]

Hey, starting from minute 6:20 in this video, we can hear the front speaker "cracking", I got my Spark go and it does the same, it"s unplayable. I don't know if I have to return it or not. Glad to sse yours does the same :D Have you noticed that BTW? Just play a E chord with a metal amplifier and it does bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz all the time, diappointing. Before you people comment, at home you can ear the noise very loud.

[@adamthefallnone1817]

I'm sure in person it doesn't sound horrible, but thru the video and from my phone this just sounds like amplitude. Not horrible, but not good unless you love muddy.

[@gorf101]

They have the bluetooth link kit, of course sold separately so easily made wireless.

[@arturgajewskiphotog]

You need to have two bluetooth connections. One for the Spark and one for the Spark Audio. After this, you can play audio from your phone in Spark GO and jam.

It’s small and fun and still with the option to use it as a usb-interface! And Ola you it chuck so what’s not to like

sounds still pretty cool. a niche product this one. cool niche product for sure. the mini sounds fuller. but for this size, for real. still sound damn mean.

[@djentleman5129]

Years ago I built my own "Bias FX to go". Took a ipad (had no iphone) and a bluetooth speaker, both anywhere in my jeans -> and GO. Funky bass sound and djenty amp sound, both really good. In your video the high frequencies sound very noisy, over my solution I had a smooth sound. And headphones instead of speaker was also possible, then you had the same sound like you have on pc with Bias FX. I am not sure about the Spark GO.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

Great product. I don't use it as an app, I use it as distortion in my chain. Just use the headphone out into the front of an actual amp. Also If I was honest, I use it mostly as a bluetooth headphone amplifier. My phone does not have a headphone jack and I own many audio file headphones. This is also great to add a wireless dongle too. It clips on your belt and you can literally jam anywhere.

[@TheSpaceGuitar]

I don’t think the idea behind this little amp is to destroy it trying to achieve real amps tone but more to have a decent quality solution for practicing or experimenting when normally would be impossible. I bought one btw

[@danbaer2688]

Cool thanks for the heavy demo of the go. Now i just need an aucoustic demo and a bass demo.

[@DireWolfForge]

Damn nice review. Love your style man. I did the pre order last month and still waiting to get mine. I use the Nux wireless pods and also a little FM transmitter that I used to have for my old iPhone. Let’s me play wirelessly through my 60’s hi-fi stereo system. Can’t wait to have this smaller option so I can jam through my truck system on road trips! Thanks brother for keeping it real.
