  • It seems there are quite a few disappointed customers of the Spark Go. I'm enjoying mine, despite the lack of volume. Aside from the lack of volume, the problems mentioned in this review can be worked around. Here is a short video on how to resolve them. https://youtu.be/mAByjOJo40U

  • I bought the Go as i'm a condo dweller. I also have a Marshall tube head and a Marshall cab 2Ɨ12 slanted for when im playing at a friend's house. I've been playing guitar and buying gear for 45 years. The Spark Go is an amazing piece of gear for the price. I've spent way more for one pedal. You have 50,000 tones from the cloud. It has a good noise gate. Many amps and cabs and stomp boxes to choose from. And you can put them anywhere in your signal chain. You can use it as a pre amp or hook it to the send on your favorite amp and use your amp as a speaker cab. Or the best thing is to get the Positive Grid power cabinet at a very reasonable price. The sound is nothing short of excellent. It has the same soft wear of the 40. People who dont like the Go, it's probably because they dont know how to use it. It is the best piece of gear that has come out in a long, long time. 129.00 for the Go, 289.00 for the 140watt power flat response cabinet that can do many things. Tell me what more bang for your cash and sounds better than that. And dont forget it teaches you the cords to any song. Has many backtracks to choose from. Has A.I. to make your own songs. You can sing thru it while playing guitar with a backtrack. And it sounds great. Who is kidding who. The Spark Go, along with the Positive Grid powe amp, is all you'll ever need. And a Strat or a L. P. I'm telling you it's a game changer.

  • Just listened to this review on my new Spark Go in bluetooth mode and it sounded great. Am looking forward to pairing this unit with the Spark CAB.

  • Due to a 404 error code I could no longer respond to the chat we had. Now just a separate message: By the way, I am familiar with tsl files for the Katana. Do you know any good sites with presets?

  • Thanks again for this review. Honest and very clear. The main reason to buy the Go is that I want to connect the Go to my audio interface and use the presets. After I made my song in Cubase i'll take the Go to the practice room and connect it to my guitar amp so I have the same sounds as on my recordings in Cubase. Will it work like this?

  • I have recently purchased this little thing and I absolutely love it. It's crazy how many features it has and how it sounds considering the size. A very cool small thing for a touring musician or for people who are always on the move. I also own a Yamaha THR10II which is obviously better, but it is not that portable. I think Spark Go is very good, but it depends on what you expect from that.

  • Peice of junk out the box. If I'd known I'd have to bring it to a computer and fix it out of the box I'd have bought something with a few built in effects for $50.
    Fuck this thing, if I didn't have a torn rotator cuff I'd throw it in the trash.
    Fuck Positive Grid with the Detroit Pistons.

  • A review that i don't have to listen to someone playing 90 percent of the time. Some actual information to work with. Unfortunately a little short on content as far as other video's to check out unless you have a Katana amp. But i will subscribe and see what happens at least i know I won't have to waste my time watching someone just showing off. Lol

  • I've got to say that you're very wrong in one respect.
    It very much fills a room.
    So much so, that my neighbours closed their windows and grumbled about the volume.
    Not everyone owns cavernous spaces like can be found in middle class north American countries.

  • I'm curious, do you have to pay to use the stuff in the spark app, like the amps and pedals????

  • Just got it. My 1W Fender mini twin and EVH mini are both louder! Haven't done the update yet, yes, it does rattle…meh…

  • Dont understand all the positive reviews. Could not communicate by bluetooth with ipad and three different mobiles. Useless gear.

  • At last, a real review hehe. I'm a fan of positive grid products. I've got the 40 and the mini. The Go is not for me. The volume and the sound quality was a deal breaker for me???? Thanks for the honest review ????

  • I just ordered one it will be here on Monday. I got it to play with pedals. I'm new and learning. I don't need loud. I keep our house amp on low volume so that isn't going to be a problem for me I don't think. It seems very cool and can't wait to play with it.

    Reply
  • Would you think it would still be loud enough, if for example, I was playing my electric through it while someone was singing and/or playing an acoustic guitar, or maybe a bass?

  • Positive Grid makes cheap unreliable sh–! Its going to brick out on you and good luck dealing with Indian call center posing as their customer service. I got the complete runaround.

    Reply
  • Yeah it's totally not room filling, unless they mean a bathroom. It's OK though, I got it so I can play at 3 am and not wake anyone, no chance of that happening.

  • Thanks man! That was a great impartial review! I wish others would take your lead and not blow so muck smoke.????

  • I have the Nux Mighty Air, which sounds awful, but at least is wireless. I can't imagine an even smaller amp sounding better. At this point, I'm back to using my trusty old Micro Cube. The Mighty Air is rapidly turning into a dust collector. Maybe I'll invest in a wireless set instead.

  • My next door neighbor plays solo acoustic guitar gigs for various sized events/partys. He often is asked not to use an amp at smaller venues. But he likes a little reverb and/or delay and thinks that this Spark Go might be 'just the ticket' for an acoustic guitar needing a little volume boost and some mild effects. What do you think. Price is now $129 at Sweetwater.

  • Paired with the Headrush or my JBL Partybox 310, this amp is a real killer. I have the Spark Go and the Mini, but honestly, I would have loved to have this when I started playing guitar over 15 years ago, instead of the bulky amps I had back then. A minimalist setup like this one not only completely satisfies me, but it also sounds better than what I had in the past. I recommend it to everyone. With modeling, what people need to understand is that the sound system makes all the difference.

  • I've been using it with headphones and it sounds just fine. It also works fine as an interface. For the last week or so I've been using it instead of my Focusrite (which still gives me clipping issues with active pickups even though Focusrite says they've fixed that). The only problem I'm having with the Go is that the app doesn't want to connect sometimes. I'm going to keep it.
