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.

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!!!

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.

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.

How come your amp does not hum or hiss at all?! Mine hums no matter the pickup type, the gate kills the low volume tones, so I don’t use it.

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.
