Ratings and Reviews
New Spark - new me!
Having reviewed the spark via countless you tube reviews and independent commentaries since seeing its capabilities over two years ago; I can save you a lot of wasted time and say go right ahead a invest in one.
Since linking it up and taking guitar in hand I have seen a vast improvement in my improvisations. I thought I would have to resort myself to rhythm and little else, but I have to say this amp coupled with the spark amp has opened a world of possibilities to me. I’m still playing around with the multitude of options at the moment but if this last few days are anything to go by, I can expect greater things a few months down the line.
The interface is simple to navigate and for a practice amp - it can belt out the decibels. I am still a beginner and in the infant stages of my musical journey but I must admit, armed with the spark amp and the spark app, I am looking forward to each session with renewed figure and motivation. The Spark just does that to you, brings out the best you have and awaits better each time you fire it up.
Almost the most fun you can have!
Fantastic combination with the Spark amp. Just a phenomenal concept and delivery! My very expensive tube amp is now gathering dust...
Only suggestion is to be able to choose a different modelling sound from within the music section of the app without having to toggle back and forth between the two screens. I find myself jamming along with my favourite artists and then need to go back each time to get a new sound.
Should be able to update firmware via the app
The firmware updating process is horrendous. You should be able to update it wirelessly via the app like any modern device but instead you have to find a computer, connect it with wires and adapters, then download software plus python onto your computer. Not the greatest unboxing experience, this dampened my first experience with a speaker I had high hopes for. Additionally I hoped the music from the app would play through the speaker alongside my guitar but the music comes out of my iPad/phone and guitar out the amp. Troubleshooting is difficult when they don’t make support resources easy to find. The one video I found to get this working doesn’t resolve the issue.
