A Sweet Level Boost for Any Pedalboard

Kick on the TC Electronic Spark Mini boost pedal to send your guitar amplifier into glorious overdrive. Or, use it as a clean boost for a subtle volume increase during solos. Either way, the Spark Mini packs premium analog circuitry that won't degrade your tone. Even better, there are two ways to use this boost pedal: kick it on and off like any other pedal or hold the footswitch for a momentary boost. At Sweetwater, we know a smart pedalboard solution when we see one, and the compact TC Electronic Spark Mini is just that.

Note: A compatible power supply is required to operate and is not included. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with any questions.

TC Electronic Spark Mini Features:

  • Level boost pedal for electric guitar with up to 20dB of boost
  • Discrete analog circuitry and true bypass design maintain your tone
  • Compact design is perfect for any pedalboard
  • PrimeTime switching gives you 2 options: standard latching operation or momentary operation
  • Perfect for subtle volume boosts or sending your amp into overdrive
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Spark Mini Boost Pedal
Great little pedal with tons of boost on tap. You can run it in front of a tube amp or on the FX loop or after a BOSS IR-2 amp and cab sim or to a mixer (see photo). It does its job everywhere. For extra gain, put it in front of tube amp. For true volume boost use it in FX loop. Good value!

Amazing Pedal
What amazing buster pedal, I really appreciated the sound, the best that I've tried. The delivery was faster, thank you Sweetwater.

Nice Clean Analog Boost
This pedal is true to its name - a spark plug so to speak. Nice clean, tone-true boost to your signal. I use this primarily at 25% as a 5 dB boost for lead/solo situations. I have it placed after tube driver pedals, last in my chain before noise gate on the way to my Catalyst 60 instrument input (pre-amp). I've also placed it in front of my Hot Tubes OD pedal to drive that even deeper into dirt, a real juicy application of this pedal.

Majic elixir for amps with gain
Have a Marshall ?
Buy it. Yes clean it offers +20db of boost. Where is shines is boosting a Marshall with gain. Adds mids and low mids to your guitar !
But only 5 to 10 db with gain.
All you need for solo boost.

EXACTLY WHAT MY ACOUSTIC PEDALBOARD NEEDED!
I was looking for a smaller sized pedal to fit my acoustic board and give me just a little bit of that extra PUNCH when I needed it. The Spark-Mini by TC Electronics was a PERFECT FIT. I keep my EQ pedal "always on" to dial in the tone I am looking for and to quiet the "quack" of the piezo pickup, so the SPARK-Mini is used to BOOST my leads and even just as a bit of boost for the chorus in a song.

Perfect pedal at the perfect price....and once again, SWEETWATER had everything I needed. With the addition of an octave pedal, my acoustic board is complete....for now !

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?
Mitch Gallagher
Need a little boost in your guitar playing? Then here's the solution: the brand-new tc electronic Spark Mini Boost! The Spark Mini Boost is a clean boost pedal in a compact enclosure - I love these little "bantam"-sized pedals; they allow you to put together a small pedalboard that still has plenty of power. Perfect for "grab it and go" rigs and gigs. But small size doesn't indicate a lack of performance. The Spark Mini Boost offers 20dB of gain and transparent sound quality with just a hint of beef in the lower mids. My favorite setup is to run the Spark Mini Boost into an amp that's running just on the verge of breakup. When you really dig in with the pick, you get a nice crunch, but lighten up, and the tone is clean. Then, with the Spark Mini Boost set to 12 o'clock, you get a nice jump in volume, a fatter tone, and a nice singing breakup that's perfect for dynamic leads. I like to have a clean boost pedal on my pedalboard, but real estate is always an issue. Now, with the Spark Mini Boost, I can always include a great boost pedal without taking up hardly any space at all. Highly recommended!
