Its a nice looking 2 x 20 watt dual 4' speaker amp and very loud and clean + the Spark App (IOS/Android) makes practicing fun

#Spark amplifier update#

Its essentially an update to the the effects and Amp Modeling of Positive Grid's JamUp Pro (which is also Mono only), there are no alternate Cabs, Each Amp type has a specific Cab Model associated with it, and no ability for user to change the Cab type, no third party Cab IR Loading - but PG SPARK AMP sounds good out of the box.

' Left USB Audio Channel 1) available as Audio Source Input in Reaper DAW app, No Stereo Effects - All sounds are mono only - explains why there is only one ' Noise Gate Pedal > Compressor Pedal> Booster / Drive Fuzz Pedal > Amp / CAB Sim > Modulation Pedal >Delay > Reverb My only Spark Amp complaint is the effects signal chain is set in stone, can not alter the effect order, so cannot place the Spring Reverb 1st in the signal chain - necessary to get vintage Surf Tones - its stuck in a 1980's idea of correct signal chain and zero allowable deviation From this (this is review of 1st release SPARK 40 firmware May 2020 Swiftly Changing presets between the 4 Preset buttons on the top of the amp while still playing guitar results in a 250 millisecond gap of silence between patchesīut I'm already connected via USB and getting loud stereo audio from all Windows Audio player apps, Youtube, and it sounds better than one of those $400 Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth Stereo Speakers Now if they could do a firmware update to get it to work with the Positive Grid Blueboard remote footpedal, could be fun.

It gets plenty loud, Backing tracks are loud ( use the top Music Volume Knob to adjust USB Audio, Rear Aux input Audio, and Bluetooth AudioĪnd the large OUTPUT Volume knob on far right controls everythingĪnd of course spin the far left AMP Type knob full clockwise to Metal, and crank the Master and Output to max - and SPARK is nearly as loud as a Vox PathFinder 15R - louder than i could play at a few recent gigs with my tube ampĪnd the internal speakers NEVER flap / fart or spoil the fun Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 The Spark App synchronizes and compensates for any Bluetooth Audio Latency vs Video timing delay ( like many smart video player apps already do) Many of the SPARK app Backing tracks are sourced here -īut when used with the SPARK APP, you get matching chord charts that follow along with each tune Have to admit - this thing sounds wonderful !! and actually was worth the wait

Just a bummer that USB Audio Out is only Mono for recordingīut it does receive Stereo USB Audio at 24 bits 48kHz Headphone amp is Class AB Ti Directpath 25mW Amp I can see they originally planned to a have a separate subwoofer power Amp - but its not needed This explains much of the PG Spark delay - the final FCC Report was just completed March 5, 2020 The Spark app is a bit annoying as it only runs in Portrait Mode, and will not do much until you are 100% logged in with your Positive Grid Account I could actually play solo gigs at a coffeehouse with this amp alone The PG Spark is Easily TWICE as LOUD and Clean TONE vs the Fender Mustang GT 40 OK Plugged and using an Android Tablet (Galaxy Tab S3) to run the Spark Application
