Positive GridSpark 2 50W Smart Guitar Practice Amp & Bluetooth Speaker with Built-in Looper, AI Features & Smart App for Electric, Acoustic, & Bass Guitar

I have sold all my guitar gear to get the and I don't regret it one bit. The amp is tiny but mighty. The tone cloud has nearly every artist you can think of and the effects of which there are thousands will have what you need to recreate that signature sound. I created my own backing track for a full concert and I have saved every sound I need into the 8 slots. I purchased the control x pedal to go with it. The master volume on the amp controls the master volume of the amp inside the software. The guitar volume controls how loud the guitar is overallAnd the music controls the music volume. Having stereo out makes it easy to go into my pa system which is 1800 watts. Now I have everything in a tiny beautiful box that I can control from the app on my phone. It truly feels like I have arrived at a time in my life where now I can go out and gig and no longer bogged down by wires and power supplies. Just one power supply. A fully Charged control x pedal and one guitar lead is all I have. Downsizing but upsizing in effects. My guitar playing has improved dramatically having the sound be closer to the actual artist. I'm having the best time with it and I've only had it for a few days. I'm going to get the battery next month for it. If you get this you won't be disappointed. Plugging the headphones into it disabled the speakers but the sound through your headphones is phenomenal. The built in tuner is brilliant as it shows you when you're in tune but it also shows you the drift to sharp or flat. Sometimes the string will be in tune but ever so slightly sharp or flat once the volume of the string dies down. Much better than any tuner I've had before. The amp controls the app dials of the virtual controls but not the other way round so bare that in mind. If you move a control when you are playing it will alter the whole sound. So you need to set the sound as you want it to be and store it. Then when you select the patch you want its all set. If you have a sound set that has a lower volume stored it will play at the lower volume. This is excellent as sometimes you don't want to adjust the volume on the fly you can do that with your guitar volume but you might want to be arriving at a lower volume. With this amp you can do that. Truly outstanding bit of kit. Don't get the 40 version as it doesn't have the output to pa and sound quality not as good at 50. Highest recommendation I can give and even though it's classed as a practice amp I'm using it with a pa and using it live. It's perfectly capable once you have stored all your sounds in the amp. I would not use the Bluetooth live but only for downloading and modifying your sound before hand. The great part also to mention is that once your sound is stored you don't need to open the app to modify the effects as the amp dials affect the delay and reverb gain etc on the actual amp. If you are a serious guitar player like me get it. 5 million stars

Sound quality is fine for a practice amp, it’s not up there with valve amps but I can now save that for gigs and not deafen the neighbours. The thing that blows me away is all of the functionality accessed via the internet, want to play a new song or copy your latest muse; just type in what you want and the amp will come up with suggested tones that mimic sound. It gives you many variation which you can use the amps controls to tweak till your happy, then save it either to the amp (8 patches) or to the cloud (limitless patches) Wow!!!Then there’s the battery, charge it and play for hours cable free.Turn down the volume and, unlike the afore mentioned valve amps, maintain your tone just at a much lower volume so you can practice when everyone else has gone to bed.This thing is an amazing tool and I’m just beginning to scratch the surface of what it can do.The best thing is that it makes you want to practice and it makes it easy to do so anywhere at any time.I just wish I’d bought one sooner.

Has to be the ultimate purchase for any guitar player, novice or professional....I have been on a journey of 60 years of playing ( trying )... have through the mists of generations have bought dozens of pedals to assist or make me sound average....from every Zoom , every Boss,most delays,loopers,....most modern amps with and without modelling,tube, digital... tried them all...Now this Spark 2 is in my ears and eyes with the app something really special...Had it only one week and it's changed the way I play, because of the ease of changing totally the sound, adjusting volume of output and drums separately... delays are infinite,Ai tones of anyone or any sounds amazing..I typed Rory Gallagher and out came 4 different tones totally matching Rory's sound's,so impressive...the only couple negative I've found is the looper record length,but I overcome that playing from Spark mono input then to my Boss RC1then to the return input on a Vox 40 watt and bobs your uncle endless looping,then the app losing Bluetooth connection when changing tones and looping....I just use the amp now I have all the tones my Strat,PRS and Hofner can handle..my advice for the money Buy the Spark 2 ....

Second spark, really happy with the first, expect to be happy with the new one. Amazing output for such a small item. Solid build, fantastic sounds. Brill.

I'm still getting used to all the things this amp can do - It's very clever! My old practice amp was a Roland RX microcube, which had good reviews I recall when it was first introduced. But compared to this new tech with the Positive Grid Spark it's useless. I bought it with one thing in mind, to get a reasonable copy tone of my favourite Matchless Amp with effects, which would have cost me 3k+ to buy, so not an option as I'm an intermediate at best player. So the AI search part of the Spark gave me a number of quite good copies and one quite good one, which I am happy with for now. Saving presets in various ways is a bit confusing, and the sound from the speakers is not great as they are so small I guess. Clean tones are excellent though, So overall I'd say this is a good buy as a starter amp with lots of variables to find the sound you are after.

Absolutely brilliant! So much variety with the app and different types of effects from accoustic to full on guitar lead + so many ways to modify as you want. Portable, sounds supurb, well made and also can play backing tracks for you based on your style of play. Have loads left to explore but so much fun, brilliant!
