una recensione onesta. Io l'ho ricevuto ieri, ed è stato proprio il suo "form factor" a convincermi. L'ultimo amp "portatile" che ho avuto è stato il Microcube RX, che pesa 7 chili, richiede di essere attaccato alla corrente, non ha il bluetooh e quindi ok, non è più divertente. Il Go forse è davvero troppo piccolo, i suoni puliti sono quasi inudibili, in particolare il preset 1 fa ridere perché sembra di suonare con la chitarra spenta. Sul rock e metal invece il volume per me è ok, perché gonfia il suono con tutti i suoi pedali, eq, reverb, eccetera. Il problema è che quando lo suoni con le basi, se il suono è pulito dovrai abbassare la base altrimenti non senti la chitarra. Se invece il suono è distorto, dovrai abbassare la chitarra perché se no la base sarà troppo bassa anche al massimo. Per questo credo che passerò al Mini, che dovrebbe (spero) risolvere questi problemi, anche se costa una cifra che non volevo spendere per un amplificatore da divano
Positive grid is junk. Why don’t you mention the crap Bluetooth which is junk
I guess I am alone on this but the idea that I need to have my phone handy to use this seems worse than being waterboarded while listening to bad polka music.
The stage, studio and practice halls are my escape from phones.
They are my excuse to not carry my phone. …eeek!
It is like gigging with my mom, 27 ex-wives, 14 telemarketers and a few bothersome folks shackled to me.
No thank you!
Loved that bit of Count of Tuscany !
I have both Spark GO and Blackstar Fly3. To me, Spark sounds awesome when Blackstar Fly3 sounds like you're playing in a toilet. Oddly, everybody is raving about Blackstar…
My little Tribit Bluetooth speaker is about the same size..cost 50 bucks has 25 watts power, and sounds 50 times better than this little box.
Positive Grid could have done better.
The low frequency spec on this Spark Go is listed as 110 Hz…which doesn't make sense, because…an open low E string on a standard tuned guitar vibrates at 82 hz.
Also the design sounds muffled & boxy to me at any volume.
Spark App is great, no doubt..
But the Spark Go is a dissapointment.
Needs better engineering and or a bigger speaker.
I'll keep using my Tribit connected wirelessly to my Nu-x Mighty Pro headphone amp, and get
25 watts, full range sound, tons of volume, longer battery life, full app control, and the same pocket size portability.
Hopefully the Spark Go 2 will sound better.
It makes fantastic crackling fireplace sounds. The Spark GO is a FIRE HAZZARD. I have had THREE of them and EACH ONE is, basically, a timebomb! The batteries are flat-out DANGEROUS. Customer Service is SHIT !!!
I think the point was how the actual amp sounds not how the mic made it sound through my phone ok through my tower speakers night and day actually having the amp in front of you completely different and nobody is ever going to play this at max volume I say get one and make your own choice because overall for what it is this has to be the most fun I’ve ever had gone are the days of buying one effect at a time super cool worth every penny
Thank you so much for tjis review! I have seen other videos but this one was really good. I think i am gonna get one. Thank you!
Caméra audio sounds better that’s because the mic is to high and the amp has directional tight pattern.
So if the mic output is so good, can't you just plug it into a better speaker when you play at home?
My daughter wants her first electeic guitar for christmas. Would this be a good first amp to go with her first guitar? Or should i get her aomething more traditional? I find the ability to play along with her favorite songs via bluetooth might keep her interested when she's just starting to play.
Thank You & God Bless You In Jesus Name Brother, the most realistic review of the spark Go ❤ Appreciate you doing this! 5:43
Thank you for really showing and letting us hear it! I've been searching the whole internet trying to find an as close as what we might get in a room without any post-eqing and compressing!
Is that BK or PW?
Thanks for the video. I would love to have heard it tested with an acoustic guitar & and a looper pedal,which is what I would like to use it for. Would you have any advice on the best small practice amp (for ~€100 mark) which would be good for looping a Takamine acoustic guitar with built-in pickup & pre-amp – for home/bedroom use only. Would appreciate any guide here.
camera audio ends up acting like a high pass filter (relative to the mic at ear level). Presumably, the mic at ear level is close to what it actually sounds like
Is it possible to use the amp without the app?
Hi – Out of both the camera and microphone recording, which do you think sounded closest to sitting there listening to it live?
God bless you!

If you use a cable from headphone output to any amplifier input using a 1/8 to 1/4 cable you get amazing tones that you can also tweak with the eq of your amp.
UnBias ????????????
I am just starting out, mostly headphone use. Think this one all right?
do you know if aux input have latency?
