Positive Grid Spark Pearl Guitar Amplifier Electric, Bass and Acoustic Guitar 40-Watt Combo Practice Amp with Spark Mobile App (Pearl)

The Spark arrived on time ,well packaged (Minimal Plastic) Although I haven't had time to upload the app for more functionality , their are plenty of good sounds right out of the box. Shimmering clean tones to various dirty sounds depending on use of gain. All in All tremendous value for money and looks great in any setting

Stopped working after 1.5 years of moderate use. The audio cuts out for both guitar and bluetooth after 10 minutes of use, then the audio comes back after another 10 minutes and the cycle repeats. Can't use it anymore. after checking the forums others users have also experienced the same problem. Looks like a manufacturing defect. Contacted Positive Grid and they said the best they can do is to send me a new unit at full price minus shipping. I was hoping that it would last for a few more years. Now it's sitting as a decoration piece on my bookshelf.

Sounds very good (this was when purchased) 18 months on now from purchase and spending hours trying to figure out why the speaker cuts out after a few minutes of use. Lots and lots of comment on this all over the internet. It seems the most likely culprit is one component goes out of certain parameters and cuts out the speaker volume. I will send email to the manufacturer but judging by other peoples comments it does not look very positive. Yep it looks like all I get is a bot replying to my emails to their customer support - product provider has run for cover - what a pile of junk. Not impressed given only 18 months of use.

Switches off after 5 minutes of use. Positive Grid will not help you. If you receive a faulty unit like mine, good luck. Be ready for useless emails asking you to send it back to US. UAE is not serviced by them and they do not have return facility here.

If you see to experiment quality and features, this quality is indisputable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH negative reviews, its worth every penny. That best.

Premier point (puisque je sais qu'il pose souvent souci): ampli reçu en 4 jours entre la commande et la réception. Je n'en revenais pas après avoir lu que certains l'attendent toujours après 6 mois de commande auprès de Positive Grid. Donc, coup de bol ou pas, un gros plus avec la commande Amazon. Deuxième point: fourni avec un câble avec prise à la terre, donc aucun problème de buzz signalé de nombreuses fois par les premiers acquéreurs. En ce qui concerne la bête, elle est fantastique si on n'en attend pas ce qu'elle n'est pas. C'est un petit ampli d'étude pour la maison, hyper pratique pour bosser au casque ou à faible volume (même s'il est capable de bien cracher quand on lui demande), ce n'est en aucun cas un ampli utilisable pour une répète avec un batteur et encore moins un concert. (à part peut être si vous faites un set solo dans un petit bar?) Bref, c'est certainement pas lui qui va me faire lâcher mon vieux combo JCM800 pour les concerts. Les modélisations d'amplis ou d'effets sont très satisfaisantes, le son très correct pour l'utilisation (peut être un poil de basse en trop parfois, même avec le potard au mini...) et la possibilité de jammer à volonté sur des backing tracks ou ses morceaux préférés est tout simplement fantastique. C'est la raison principale de mon achat et le fait qu'il ait remplacé le Vox AD60 dont je me servais jusque là à la maison. L'appli est très simple d'utilisation et n'a jamais planté jusque là. L'essentiel pour moi tiens en un seul point: je joue beaucoup plus souvent depuis que je l'ai et cela me semble beaucoup plus constructif (moins de noodling). Et tout ce qui nous fait jouer plus souvent et mieux est bon, non? Un dernier point qui peut avoir son intérêt pour certains: il fait aussi enceinte connectée, ça va bien être pratique l'été pour passer la zique dehors! Tout ça pour 250€... Qu'est-ce que vous attendez? Edit: au vu des commentaires de mes petits camarades, je serais curieux de savoir combien de possesseurs de JCM800 se sont jetés sur le Spark pour ne pas avoir à réveiller le monstre?... ;-)

This is the ideal practice amp for anyone who is reasonably tech savvy and familiar with guitar effects pedals. Even if you don’t have much experience though, it really won’t take much effort to get you going and there are plenty of YouTube reviews that show you how to use it and set it up. I found it simple to set up and was playing around with the downloaded patches in less than 10 minutes. One of the first things you’ll want to do is update the firmware by hooking it up to a computer, this was also pretty easy following the instructions from the positive grid website. Once I updated it there were more features and the Jimi Hendrix add on which is fun to play with if you’re a big fan. SOUND: Overall the sound quality is highly impressive and the possibilities are pretty much endless with this amp. The shimmery clean tones with chorus and reverb are honestly some of the best I’ve heard but I mainly bought this for metal. My usual rig is more blues oriented and I really just wanted something to jam Pantera riffs on and go wild! The metal amp models have more than enough gain and the amount of bass this thing can produce means you can rest assured it won’t sound thin or tinny. Overall I recommend this to anyone who wants a fun practice amp to play about with. I’ve got loads of music equipment now but if I had this when I was first starting out It probably would have saved me a small fortune on amps and pedals! If you’re a parent thinking of buying this for your kid then I would say go for it if you can afford it and the kid is committed to playing guitar. If you go for a cheaper no frills amp you may end up having to buy an upgrade in a few years anyway. This amp will be more than enough for most kids until they’re old enough to get a job and buy their own gear!

Anyone looking for a small AMP with 40 watts of power packed with endless features? This AMP is perfect and excellent. I am just starting my guitar journey and wow i was amazed on the sound quality let alone the feature that packed in the AMP Keep in mind i was using fenders frontman 10 watt and this has gotta be the coolest thing ever, it comes with an app & endless tones and pedals effects and obviously since im a beginners & professional guitarists the app offers real-time learning for songs which was awesome

Best guitar related purchase I have made in a long time. It sounds amazing, has a lot of options and can be used to record guitar on your PC. Can be used as Bluetooth speaker, it takes real guitar pedals well.

Simple , fun and good size. very easy to use and with the app it has a lot to offering. For beginner to learn or for more advance it's a perfect tool/amp. Suitable for home or small beginner band and party/small gigs. you can do so much with it and really recommend.
