Will it Rockabilly? – Spark Amp by Positive Grid
https://damianbacci.com In today’s video I’m checking out Positive Grid’s new Spark Amp & App. I’m going to be dialing in some Rockabilly tones and putting this little amp though the paces. Enjoy! 🙂

This friends is a master at his craft
That lick at 8:52….. ABSOLUTE FIRE!!! ????
Great video man.❤ Rock on.
Sounds great, did you put those on tonecloud?
Yes Sir, we can boogie
Damian, I love this little amp too. I have a hard time believing you would say anything bad about anything though. You are so kind. Thank you for sharing with us!
Hi Damian! Do you have any of these Spark setting saved as searchable by other Spark owners? Thanks!
I love this amp, I have two rockabilly tones on mine:
-Memphis Grit which is a cleaner sound and meant to replicate the Sun studios sound and all the 1950’s rockabilly players
-Setzer Strut a much dirtier tone to replicate tones like Eddie Cochran, Brian Setzer, Danny Gatton and the Psychobilly music
Well Done Damian! Just received my Spark Today. Looking forward to some clean jazz and country tones!
Your setup sounds great ! Now all I need to do learn how to use the amp????
I was looking for something like with the spark amp.Thanks so much for this.
Thanks Damian! This is the review I’ve been looking for. Your rockabilly and swing tones are perfect when you play during your other videos. They sound great through the Spark. Always a pleasure to hear you play. Many thanks.
This needs to be reshot. That creepy picture of the killer who keeps peeking out from behind your guitar…is creepy and distracting. So is your choice of shirts. All the music and all the guitars in the world snd that’s the best shirt you’ve got?
Do you have this preset in the cloud for download?
Great demo Damian! I watched this before, just after you recorded this I bought the Spark and nearly 2 years later still I play it every day and love the versatility of it, and it sounds good without having to crank it up to non-domestic levels.
Damian you've great guitarist and a nice guy too..a pleasure to listen to you …best wishes from the UK.
I finally caved and got a pedal with modelled amp emulations in it to play around with a few months ago. It has a good selection of amps I like in it, but it occurred to me not long ago how something you don’t see in any of the amp modellers out there is a model that specifically emulates any small octal tube amps from the 40s like you would have heard in very early rock and roll /rockabilly – like the Gibson EH 185. I used some of the small combo models that were mids-forward like the CarrMercury, Brownface Vibroverb, and even a Mesa Boogie, Tweed Bassman and Vox AC15 with some EQ tweaking, and tiled room reverb, and managed to fake some Sun Studios tones pretty well. You got some surprisingly good 50s tones with that Spark too.
You have a great attitude! Thanks for all you do.
Love your playing
I like your openness about new tech. There are a lot of “purists” out there who automatically turn their noses up on small solid state practice amps like this. The Spark is an awesome little amp to practice on. ????????
Damian what settings did you use for Chuck Berry
I thought the Texas Chainsaw shirt was terribly creepy, you of course are incredible. Please… ditch the T-shirt. 🙂 Sorry, don't mean to be judgemental. I love your videos. I love Rockabilly.
You convinced me Damian… I got my Spark 40 today… I hope you're on commision ???? ???? ???? ????…Can you upload some Jump Blues amp settings?.. T-Bone tones..
It sounds nice.
I’m a rock metal guy. I like the spark but it’s a little thick.
I got to see minor threat once in Camden nj. They played with ssd and agnostic front. It was a blast. My first stage diving !!!
Sits on my desk and does what it's supposed to: gives me a little amp that I can play through and control with my phone. I bought one when they first released. Sold that and got the white one. Honestly, it's worth the $$ to have something convenient that sounds good and I can leave it on the shelf and control everything with my phone or the new foot controller. Good stuff!
Also wanna see country and chicken pickin
I don’t have the same software on mine (amps & pedals) – what gives?
The Spark is awesome. Bought it last Year.
I noticed a bass line going on .is that a backing track or did the amp generate it
I could watch this all day. Great playing. Great review. Glad to see some varied tones pulled from this amp. I’ve had mine a month, love the practice features but not the tone. I’ll try your settings and see if I can get closer to what I want. Thanks!
Yes nice
Great playing and authentic tones. Just ordered one of these yesterday. Cant wait to get it. Modelers are getting better and better these days. Been using Roland V technology since the VG-88. Since 2007 been using the Roland VG-99 since 2007 for my road gigs as I fly to my gigs. Positive Grid is the next step in the evolution. I stopped using tube amps back in the late 70s. They sound nice and I still have two but modelers have made recording with them a thing of the past for me.
Again, great stuff and I am a new enthusiastic subscriber.
Thanks Bro
This is not metal. ????
Some really nice playing there!. Sounds great to me!
Lovely playing sir! Carry on.
