Positive Grid Spark Mini Portable Combo Amp - Pearl Reviews
There’s nothing “Mini” about the huge, full-sized tone of the Positive Grid Spark Mini! This little box shatters all expectations of what a portable practice amp is capable of, boasting a unique dual angled-speaker design that utilizes a personalized EQ, omnidirectional bass response, and custom damping to produce a tone to match amps several times the Mini’s size. Designed for guitarists of all styles, if the Spark Mini’s four onboard studio-quality presets aren’t to your taste, you’ll certainly find something to love when exploring the Spark app’s vast library of over 10,000 presets, full of world-class amps, effects, and pedal emulations that allow you to capture your dream tone. What’s more, the Spark Mini is a must-have practice tool for beginners and pros alike, allowing you to play along, slow down, or loop tricky sections of your favorite songs for complete fingerboard mastery — the Spark app can even display a song’s chords in real time as you’re playing along! Add in the built-in tuner, Bluetooth audio streaming capability, and audio interface functionality, and the Spark Mini isn’t simply a great amp for its size, it’s a great amp, period.

This little amp rocks.
I bought this to use with my bass. The app doesn't have a whole lot for bass guitar. But it's still great for portable practice. I can take it with me anywhere and even plug in headphones if I need to be quiet.
Best guitar practice tool!
Best portable practice amp. Perfect for guitar. Not good enough for bass through. Unless using good headphones.
Little rocker
This little cube is sick!! I love it. It does everything it says it will do. Looks awesome and is a solid built piece of equipment. I found it easy to setup and hooking up the Blue tooth. The speakers sound very good if using it in a small room. It also sounds really good using to play tunes from Spotify.too. The effects are good. I would recommend this piece of gear for any one looking for a small practice amp learning tool. I also love the fact that it is battery powered. Go buy it.
Worth every penny
Amazing the sound this small package produces. Not only does it look great, but its very functional with a lot of extras you don't get from most amps. Easy to use and operate. Light and portable with a long battery life. You will not be disappointed.
Impress your friends!
This amp surprised me! A great little amp. Love the customizable grill! It sounds way better than expected and can be a valuable tool for those looking to learn or improve their playing.
Not to mention it has impressed a few colleagues of mine with the various sounds I can get through the app.
Be realistic, and it's great.
I recently became a dad, so firing up even my small tube Marshall isn't plausible most of the time. The Spark Mini is a great little practice amp that allows me to quietly play electric without waking up the kid. The tones, though they require some tweaking, are pretty good, being able to play along to music through the same speaker is easy, and the music looping (for learning) is really solid. Overall, I'm glad I bought it.
Little Big Amp
What an outstanding product! I'm a big tube head but this little amp is so much fun to have around the house. Cheers to the Positive Grid Engineers!
Impressive!
Wow!
All the sounds you need from this little fella. Great for beginners who want to learn as well as the seasoned veteran. Getting the footswitch next.
Travel Amp
This amp is prefect for playing in Hotel rooms. It sounds great at low volume and higher if need be.
Great little amp!
I frequently have power issues when to many things are plugged up so the rechargeable feature is awesome. I have put all my amps in storage till we can get our house built, no worries with the spark. The little thing sounds amazing! Not a 1x12 but, I think most will be surprised with the quality of sound. Download the spark app and your off. I use the backing tracks. They are in lots of keys, shows you the chords and changes and can show you an area to noodle in lol. The different amps all sound great. You can find a tone to get ya going. I also bought the jimi Hendrix pack for 19 bucks...WOW! I recommend it if your a fan of his music or sound. Check this little amp out. Glad I did!
Probably The Best In Its Niche
There are three good reasons to get this amp: extreme portability, the treblyest screamer distortion, and broad tonal range for its size. The size of the speakers is at times a downside, though. If you have an ES335/9/Casino type guitar and like the low end thump, low volume. But mostly it can get pretty loud in the mids and high frequencies. It's extremely directional and requires a flat surface to make the reflex work. Since it has only Volume and Preset knobs, you're going to spend way too much time fussing with a phone or tablet and bluetooth. My rating assumes an overriding need for a surprising range of sound in an extraordinarily mobile package. If you don't absolutely need those things, pass on this. If, like me, you'd rather play your instrument than spend half your life messing around with your phone, pass on this.
Positive Grid Spark
Nice small amp. lots of sounds available with download of app. I wish there were more instructions with it, and easier to access the app. I like that it can blue tooth pair with my iPhone or iPad.
Just a blast
I call it my back up band! Loads of fun when traveling just the right amount of volume and function. You can get some cool tones out of it. Sometimes it freezes so you just let the battery run out, recharge and then your back in business. This happened to me about 4 times in a year of practicing at least five times a week all year.
Not what they claim it to be
Got this for my daughter and her electric ukelae. I tried it with my Les Paul just to see how it sounded. It does not have the volume and punch as shown in their videos. It is great for my daughter to practice with but don't be fooled by Positive Grids videos, it doesn't have the punch they are showing. Would be great great for a beginer who can't crank up to loud and wants some portability.
