Positive Grid Spark Mini (Supposedly GREAT)

Positive Grid Spark Mini (Supposedly GREAT)
People are absolutely raving about this little guitar practice amp. It supposedly does it all and sounds good. The bigger Spark Amp was very good, so I have high hopes for this, but let's see if those hopes are justified.
Enjoy!

Hey Elmo, thank you for checking out MINI, and we appreciate the review! And your playing is great.

I got my Spark Mini a few days ago. This thing is like friggin crack. I can’t stop playing on it. I want to quit my job. The dog is pooping all over the house because I won’t stop playing. It’ll take a life time to explore all of the tones. I think my wife has left me.

I was shocked at how good that little amp sounds. I would never have considered buying one, but I have I changed my mind now.

I am late to the game but I just ordered my Spark Mini. Your videos have really helped me make the purchase and I just wanted to say thank you!

Have seen this amp a lot in advertisements for a while. So today I tought hmm… who would have made an honest good review off it? I immediately came to your channel and boom there is the review uploaded 4 hours ago😂 Nice video!

The fact that I can sit my spark mini in my hammock with me, load up a jam track and noodle away in the sun is so rewarding 😎🌞🎸
I owned the 40w Spark, but going fully wireless it the real gamechanger 🤩

Cool review.. just got one of these last week. Went to guitar center to get a cheaper little amp. The guys REALLY suggested this one. It was twice as much as I wanted to spend. But it is definitely worth it. I’m using it for all kinds of stuff around the house and taking it outside to play on the patio and everything.

I had a bad habit of procastinating regarding to practice, due to my need to isolate myself in the studio where all my gear is. It's such a gamechanger when it comes to habits. I leave my spark on the living room, all I need is to pick a guitar and just practice in front of the tv with great sound. I can bring it on my travels as well, this is an amazing piece of gear. For beginners and pros. I'd highly recommend you all to grab one as soon as you can. Totally worth it!

This guy is the best gear reviewer online. We can really hear the amp, there are too many videos where people are playing these amps into their phones and it makes the amp sound terrible.

[petkucius]

I just got mine delivered today. I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, just ask my neighbours. It is awesome, something as big as a jar of pickels can do so much fantastic stuff.

[johnpittman]

It even catches the squeeky high E and above sounds that help define a strat. Impressive.

[Ashbash]

Sounds great for the size ! I have two 20w Bluetooth wireless speakers that I can pair to use in stereo with my phone or similar device which astound me the level of bass and depth they produce from such a small device! So I can well believe how good that amp sounds and what a perfect thing to use while busking! I think it would be especially good to use with an acoustic guitar to give a really full sound in a subway station etc 👍🏻

I’ve got both the Mini and the big brother… both have their place and found Positive Grid to be helpful and good customer service just recently after a software issue within the big spark. (It was completely unresponsive and couldn’t even factory reset).
Positive Grid emailed me a patch with simple instructions and boom… all fixed!!
That has been my experience in Australia, and I’m assuming dealing with Positive Grid in US via email?
Rock on 🤘🏻

The intelligent jam feature is like finding some bandmates on Craigslist.

[ernieb]

Thanks Elmo, I just sold my spark and have been looking at this as well. I just bought a white addition Katana and so far loving it but I think this may be the best travel amp. Thanks again. I really trust your review because you purchase the equipment. Hopeing to support on patrion soon

[laurentinhk]

For the price, sound and unlimited sounds adjustment are crazy.

[Bowietrope]

Maestro Elmo! I have been loving this little amp, and found out by using my smart ass phone (that's right it makes fun of me, especially when I'm playing guitar) there is a huge library of already uploaded examples of various amps and or favorite band sounds, and many are very well done. I can get Fender, Rockman, Mesa, Bogner, Marshall, Soldano, etc, oh and incredible Matchless and even Dumble sounds. I know these are approximations, but dang, great. I found a setting that is simply titled Bogner Lead, that takes my breath away, same with a Steve Vai setting! Many awesome acoustic sounds as well, and this is great for a guy like me, who so far has been too lazy to come up with his own, cheers Elmo, keep up the great videos and inspiring me to practice 15 hours a day, Bruce

[comment.highlighted]

This is STILL the best practice amp!!! I was going to get the Spark 2, but I don’t really use loopers so there’s no need for me 🤷‍♂️

[DisruptedSinner]

Elmo, thanks SO much for your unbiased review/endorsement of the Spark Mini. I had ordered one last week and am still waiting for it in anticipation, and such a positive review from you makes me completely NOT regret my decision! Thank you! (Oh, and you rock, dude!) 😀

[Chrsly]

I bought one and I simply can't believe how good it sounds for such a little cube. The sheer number and quality of patches available for download is also pretty amazing. I'd love for it to have more controls on top, but there's simply no room, so I'm AOK with that.
