Welcome to Episode 1 of our complete guide to mastering the Positive Grid Spark! In this tutorial, we tackle the two most overlooked but essential effects in your signal chain: the Noise Gate and the Compressor. Think of them as the bouncers at your tone club—without them, you get chaos.
We’ll teach you why this “boring” foundation is the key to every great tone and show you how to dial it in perfectly.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO:
The full Spark Amp signal chain and why the order matters.
How to use the Noise Gate to eliminate hiss and hum for a clean, professional sound.
What a compressor actually does and why it’s the secret to a polished, “expensive” sounding guitar tone.
A full demo and explanation of ALL 5 compressor pedals in the Spark App:
Red Comp (MXR Dyna Comp)
LA Comp (Teletronix LA-2A)
Sustain Comp (Boss CS-3)
Optical Comp (BBE Opto Stomp)
Bass Comp (EBS MultiComp)
Which compressor is best for funk, rock, clean tones, soaring solos, and more.

Also, these types of videos take a lot more effort to put together than my other usual videos, so please give this one a like if you want the series to continue. Thx and take care!
