Spark amp announcement11/10/2023 ![]() ![]() But I'm especially pleased to see four presets that can be saved to the hardware itself – just like on the Spark Mini.Īpp integration is great to have, but I don't always want to have to use my phone to play guitar. In addition to the same array of models as the other Spark amps, all of the Positive Grid Spark app features are accessible with the GO it's processed via your smartphone so that's no surprise. I think it's a great idea to allow this flexibility for players and reveals surprising depths from such a diddy amp. But for ambient tones, rock and blues we liked the 'omnidirectional' flat position as it was more expansive and really showed off those reverbs and delays. We found the two options are suited to getting the best out of different kinds of tones.įor heavier amps and metal styles we preferred the more direct response of having the Spark GO upright as it made for a tighter sound. This is the first Spark amp that can be positioned in two distinctly different ways for varying response – upright as you'd expect but also flat on its rear passive radiator speaker. ![]() But Positive Grid has also been extra smart with its already smart amp… Positive Grid's BIAS Tone Engine processing helps it sound more expansive with the same selection of six virtual delay pedals and nine reverbs that the other Spark amps have, along with the same electric, acoustic and bass amps – plus drives, compression, noise gate, EQ and modulation. This is the first Spark amp that can be positioned in two distinctly different ways for varying response It's really convenient for quick plug-in and play sessions wherever you sit. ![]() The fact the Spark GO's speaker is facing up also means you don't have to have the amp over half volume to get decent monitoring. We're not sure Positive Grid even has this in mind for use but it soon became second nature to us – and that rubber casing means it doesn't slide around easily. Let us introduce the concept of… the leg amp!īecause of its design we didn't always have to worry about having a table or surface in front of us to sit the Spark GO on – sometimes we'd place the Spark on our leg while playing because you can lay it flat (we'll get to that). Because it's so small and ruggedly built with its grippy rubber casing, it's easy to take with you in a gigbag but it also affected how we used it in the house compared to the Mini and Spark 40. While the rechargeable internal battery of the Spark Mini freed players up to choose where they wanted and needed to play, the GO takes that idea further. ![]()
