Connect a USB cable to your computer and the Spark GO becomes an audio interface to your DAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unboxing the Spark GO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you open the box, find the folded Spark GO Quick Start Guide<\/strong>. Hang on to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the box are two carrying straps and the alternate black grill. Consult the Spark GO Quick Start Guide<\/strong> under Grille & Strap Swapping<\/strong>, and you can customize the unit by attaching one of the straps and swapping out the alternate grille if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Included is a USB-C to USB-A cable<\/strong>. The Spark GO documentation refers to this as a “Charging Cable,” but it is, in fact, a data cable<\/strong>. You can use it not only to charge the Spark GO\u2019s battery but also to connect to your computer or device to use the Spark GO as an audio interface to connect to your DAW and record your guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
