Updated today and I love the guitar EQ pedal- very useful to help tame that bloomy, overblown bass and add some overall definition. One thing that bugs me about the Spark is that when you change amps, it does not retain your settings- it starts at that amp's default settings and you have to go through everything. So say if I want to compare two clean amps with the same EQ settings, i have to go through and touch every control after switching amps. Seems like something they could address in a future update.

Hi Darrell! Your channel is new to me and this is my first vid by you. I subscribed after only after several minutes because I LIKE everything about your personality and delivery style. I'm SO fed up of tubers who waste my time with too much SHOWING OFF when what I'm there for is to get as much varied demonstration as I can. To showcase different sounds you stuck to simple playing. I didn't feel hopelessly less skilled than you because you were sticking your shred hero prowess in my face. You played your test runs like I would: I could easily see myself putting each effect through it's paces in the same slow, selective, discovery-oriented playing that you did. You played IN MY PLACE for me, and I thank you for that. I'm going to enjoy your channel because you're not making it ABOUT YOU. You're coming from a place of joy in discovery. Which is what every guitar player enjoys most about both learning something new and in trying out new gear. Thanks for remaining one of us and walking by our side, rather than waving gold medals at us from the finish line.

Luv these Spark videos! Got one for XMAS for the wife (beginner) and I’ve played the heck outta’ that little bugger. So much good stuff in these amps. I have 45 years of analog gear (and I mean a LOT!!!) but I have to setup an entire rig to get my analog fix, or I have to hook up a modeler (Helix floor, or AXE FXIII, AX8, or FM9) in order to jam at home. All of my analog gear is 50 watts, or more. So, having a little guy like this makes a big difference in just playing for a few minutes, but not having to setup and take down any of my rigs… I guess what it boils down to is, I had better get my own because my wife is transfixed on the amp too!!! lol 😂 Thanks again Darrell, for another great video!!! Best! ✌🏼 ***Stashman***

This amp has really come a long way !! I remember recommending it to a friend of mine. When he brought it to my place, I didn't like it at all. Everything was unrefined and not feeling right. And now I decided to give this amp a chance and I am really impressed. Positive Grid has really improved the amp. The hum/buzzing is gone, the app is better, the amps, everything sound better. The EQ pedal is the salvation of this amp. This is one of the best investment I have made. I hope Positive Grid will keep the good work and continue to innovate. They have found a golden nugget !!

I've got Spark for almost 3 months, haven't really played with the settings that much so far. But what I can say for certain, Spark is the amp I've been looking for for the last 30 years. Finally I got an amp which I can use with very low volume and still sounds great. I only wish it had a switch pedal to flip between channels, but am certain it will be added on when Spark II goes to production and as a bounce it will addition 150$. I know there is a self made pedal guide, but I don't fancy doing the required modification, at least not for now.

Spring reverb yet? I love my Spark, don't get me wrong. It things all the things that people say it things. But the lack of spring reverb has always puzzled me. BIAS FX has a decent usable one, so why not the Spark? (Plus I just got a Laney cub supertop and am in love with it. It also plays "cranked" sounds at bedroom volumes -- though in a much more limited range of tones.)

The new graphic EQ is awesome. I can dial out that slightly boxy tone I sometimes get on the Spark and makes it sound much more like a full size cab. Just remember to disable it if you go to headphones as it will sound unnatural with it on. Also, the new "Peavey" style amp is great.

That sounds really good. Are you running that into a recorder, Or is it miked up in the room? Almost every review that praised the Spark, the review had it running directly into their recorder and didn't display any room tones. Probably because they were super muddy and flabby like my experience with the amp. I SO wanted to love it but the sound was horrible. Did they fix the muddy low end sound issues with this patch... is that what the EQ is supposed to address?

Covid is hurting my busking opportunities but it has given me time to check out ways to lighten my load. NUX B-3 vs Xvive U-3 Wireless Mic Systems - Which is Best for a gut playing on the corner or pier. Could you do a review like this. A guy with a guitar and a microphone.

Is the Spark also suited for use as an bluetooth speaker? Is it possible to easily connect it to any android device via bluetooth without even using an app or so? I recently thought about buying a bluetooth speaker like the JBL Charge 5 which cost about 160dollar. But since Im a guitar player I thought about this here could be a good 2 in 1 device. Do you think this device sounds good as a normal bluetooth speaker ?

@donofono You can use the spark as a Bluetooth speaker. I can not speak for Android because I use an I pad, but you do not need to use the app to play music over Bluetooth. I’m sure Android is the same way. I think the spark makes a great Bluetooth speaker.

The problem I had with BIAS AMP 2 in my iPad mini was the latency. Even when used with a Focusright dock. It was basically unusable for any serious recording. Do you experience that with the Spark Amp?

I wish they would have added the Ampeg SVT for Bass. As a bass player that's the amp I am really missing. For guitar it would be great if they would add a Tom Scholz Rockman Sound. I know this is not an amp, so it could also be a pedal to get that distinctive tone.

I am a regular customer and I love it. I don't have the luxury to buy a bunch of pedals or expensive amps so I love the amount of tones I can get from a 225 dollar amp. Plus the new EQ pedal really improves it so much.

It’s not a bad amp, it’s just way overhyped and doesn’t have the same rich tones as some of the other practice amps. For the price, it’s decent. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you get much better sounds from amps like the Yamaha THR10X, THR10 II etc.

Theoretically, all you would need to do is get a headphone to instrument patch cord and run the Spark into a powered cabinet like you would a Kemper then the Spark can be as loud as you need it to be. The downside is that the eq settings used for the onboard stereo combo speakers will not sound the same and your patches would need to be tweaked for the powered cabinet that you intend to use for stage performances. In comes the true beauty of the tone cloud app you can have patches labeled for that sound profile using the combo speakers and then a tweaked patch for gigging with the powered cabinet. Where there is a will there is a way. This is also where the new update with a usable EQ section becomes imperative so that you can tweak a 400w powered 2x12 or 4x10 cabinet to sound the same as the combo by scooping and bumping the Highs, mids, and lows. Just a thought of how to take the little gem and make it an all in one head unit for rocking the hotel room between shows and pummeling full blown arenas later that evening. It would be no different than using a Marshall head unit that you have dialed in for a stock Marshall cab and then plugging it into a 5150 cab; you are going to have to tweak your settings to get as close as possible to the same sound. Wish I had a Spark I would test the theory myself. As long as you are not asking it to drive the speakers using its power section itself I do not think it should be a problem, I have seen people hook the headphone out of an mp3 player to a powered cab and it worked so I do not see why this would not do the same.

I updated my app and downloaded the firmware per instructions, but how do I find the new amps and pedals. You go into them without explaining where they're located. And as far as I know, there's no search bar on the Spark amp.
