I got one, Was gonna get me a quad. But after dealing with my laptop, sound usb devices and so on. I just wanted something I can play.
I had a kemper and that was amazing, just turn on and play. And the spark mini is a great investment.

Mine sits on my desk, I use the Bluetooth on my laptop when im working. And within moments i can grab my guitar and jam along.
Easy to control the volume of just the music VS the guitar. Have my go to 4 tones.

And best of all its battery powered. So no having to deal with nosy outlets, more wires and so on. And yes its SMALL. Like tall as a pen small.
There are two speakers inside of the mesh. But also ONE bass at the bottom. So you get a decent tone and that nice thump when you palm mute.

Tone wise Im more of a Ola / PLINI type guy and both of those tones are in the cloud.

Somebody said you can drive the USB port out to a PA so you can play it through a PA system with your patches? Anybody know how you do that?

[dr.stevenpennym.d.]

From the tone cloud, can you save a tone on your phone?

[airtondia]

amazing. but could you help me in a doubt i have? how many effects or pedalboard chains i could save in the memory? If I need to play a song that urges for 2 types of effects is it ok for me to use just the Ipad to change the effects with my hands or the foot control is mandatory

[onzkicg]

The headphones out can be used simultaneously with direct output?

[blueeyedsoulman]

What chord was that at 1:40? Sounds Hendrix-ish lol. Nice! Do you recommend this or the Spark 40? They are nearly the same price :(

Meant to add I play Irish trad on acoustic uke and mandolin.Its acoustic clean tone is barely louder than the United amplified instrument.

[johnnymegabyte]

I dropped it in the first 5 minutes of getting it off my desk cuz I used a short cable and I put guitar away without unplugging Like nothing happened

Hello . the piano on the Yamaha montage sounds better than the DGX 670 - 660 cvp?The quality of the piano and the sound. I use 2 Hs7 monitors and a Yamaha Hs8s subwoofer. Please answer me . thank you very much . Horia

[onzkicg]

Awesome play. He can be mistaken as younger brother of Marty Friedman. 😅

Need a string recycling thing at ur store and give credit back to ur customers

[thegoodguy]

The necklace, the rings… uggghhh lol.

[mr.d.]

Too much caffeine, or just trying to keep the video short?

[darbyogill]

Great amp if you want to sound like Hendricks or Van Halen but the pure acoustic tone is useless as the gain has to be up to get any decent volume.This is rubbish.Should be able to get good clean tone.Even using the 3 acoustic amps, it doesn’t work.
