All-new HD amp-modeling engine
Driven by Sonic IQ Computational Audio, Spark 2’s all-new HD amp-modeling engine delivers a well-stocked arsenal of outstanding tones.

Finally, Spark 2’s two angled 4-inch FRFR speakers and reflex ports equip you with a generous frequency response, immersive stereo imaging, and room-quaking bass.
Your home for tons of tones
Thanks to all this processing power, Positive Grid’s Spark 2 contains a massive cache of ear-grabbing sounds — 33 amplifiers and 43 effects, to be exact. And it sounds better than ever; all the amps included in the Spark app have been remastered to take advantage of the new HD amp-modeling engine. Plug into this stellar practice amplifier, and you’ll experience a greater EQ range, more expansive dynamics, exceptionally true-to-life gain staging, and more.
Advanced smart groove looper
One of the most frequently requested Spark features here at Sweetwater has been a built-in hardware looper. Spark 2 not only contains an advanced smart groove looper, but it’s also jam-packed with hundreds of authentic-sounding drum tracks. It’s incredibly intuitive; you select a genre, choose a groove, and you’re good to go. Whether you want to craft a solo jam, build a layered performance, or explore exciting new musical possibilities, the Spark 2’s looper is ready and willing to oblige. Want hands-free looper control? Who doesn’t? All you need to do is pair Spark 2 with a Spark Control X footswitch, and start, stop, layer, and undo commands will be placed firmly at your feet.
Generous connectivity abounds
Positive Grid’s Spark 2 is brimming with convenient connectivity. Bluetooth 5.0 empowers you to stream audio, jam along to your favorite track, and more from any Bluetooth-equipped device. A headphone output jack makes private practice sessions a snap; meanwhile, stereo 1/4-inch line outputs enable you to send your sound anywhere. You also get a USB-C port, which enables you to use Spark 2 as a 1-in/2-out audio interface. To top it off, Spark 2 is Wi-Fi enabled, so you can receive over-the-air firmware updates without a computer and connect to a Spark Control X footswitch without an external software application.
