I'm using an angeled plug. And ist works
Lay it down, should be doing that anyway, sounds way better. Or get a right angle cord. I picked up one today to use as a fx box. You can change the output to mono and jack it into a real amp, 50,000 tone marshal?? Anyone?
HOLY CRAP IS THIS MENT TO BE A COMEDY ACT I HOPE . EINSTEIN POINT THE CABLE TO THE BACK!!!
That crackle was happening when you were not even plugged in i think you might have hurt it when you dropped it
Or put some velcro on the bottom and make a flat base for it
Cmon, enough of the dicking around and get to your point
All you have to do is move the cable to the right , do not have cable leaning to the front, it will always fall over.
Ive literally dropped mine today and broken the speaker ????
I have the original Spark, The Mini, and The Go! The Go is kind of like stepping in a pile of dog crap! You feel it squish and you know you took one step too many! ???? I absolutely love The Spark, and everything about it! Itâs the perfect little practice amp, which sounds great, with so many options to mess with. Itâs just fun! The Mini is my favorite! Perfect size, and sounds great! I should have stopped right there, but I just had to know what The Go sounded like! ???? Itâs so damn annoying, I immediately regretted it, and have barely touched it since. Truth be told, I didnât expect much, and I wasnât surprised! My main complaint is the volume is never loud enough, no matter what you do. I guess you canât expect much, considering the size, but I was hoping! Your video (and your commenters) have inspired me to play around with it some more, so thatâs a good thing! It works well with the Spark app, so Iâm sure Iâll get some use out of it somehow. Maybe Iâm just old and deaf! Weâll see.
Get a Spark Link!
Spark GO is great but that puppy is AWESOME! What a handsome doggie! ????â€â€â€
Use a lighter lead!! It picks up crackle from bad pots, well that's your poor guitar care. Basically it's good. I hope your other content is more educational. ????
Your voice is louder, and even the strings from the guitar can be heard. Is this amp loud enough to deliver a gratifying experience?
It wonât fall over if you use the strap to hook it to something with a carabiner âŠeven you belt loop will doâŠI use a cordless plug receiver no cord âŠ..cords suck
I did the same thing with mine, it fell over. Just lie it on its back, it sounds better lying down, more bassy.
My only complaint with it is the lag im getting when i push everything up. It sort of cuts out a bit, but the effects sound good. I got the Hendrix tones and am diggn in on those bad boys ????
In 50% reviews of go and spark mini amps, youtubers gives wrong information.. one idiot saying about rubber feet.. another about falling down on cable insertion… but nobody at least read manual where all those things are clearly explained) YouTube become a circus show where monkeys unboxing complex devices without knowledge how does it works and trying to put glasses on their asses instead of head)) You can buy good camera, back light and studio microphone for your channel …but brains are not possible to buy))
The other fix is turn on/off the tab in the amp for the type of pickups you have to eliminate the crackle/noise (maybe).
Get a wireless set up. Problem solved. Thanks for the vid.
Dude, get a cable with a 90 degree connector for the Spark Go side! Totally fixes the issue.
I have one and the outside can make you think it's durable. I dropped mine once and the speaker solder broke. Incredibly weak now I have an expensive headphone Amp. I wasn't standing it up dropped it hooking to belt loop.
If the guitar teaching doesn't work out you've got a career in physical comedy!
I just tape mine to the side of my head and wrap it with masking tape it works great!
Sure it's got a little speaker… use headphones. It sounds waaay better. It's a practice amp. Use headphones.
Just get an angled cable!????
Well it falls on the floor because of the weight of the cable, simple as that. Just put the chord wrapped flat on the table next to it: solved.
How can you not know the cord weighs more than the amp?
What do you think if is used with electroacĂșstic guitar ?
You need some Blue Tack my friend, or the Bluetooth transmitter. Have you had a chance to use the Mini and is it any better in room? This one seems like a great way to get into the Spark app and all it's features
I lay mine flat on the floor or table to make it more sturdy or you can use a transmitter and receiver. You can also just hang in on your belt as there is some straps with it. Its not as loud as some have been saying though when I play my backing tracks and guitar. I have only had a few days to play around with it but I will try it through my Boss Cube street amp next from the head phone out.
Actually I anticipated it falling when plugged, so the first thing was I attached a carabiner to the loop and anytime I'm using it I just hang it from my belt.
Thank you for the video. I'm thinking of getting one to take it on my next trip to visit my brother who is an amazing drummer. It's been forever we've jammed together and I'm hoping this will be good enough for us to have fun together. Thanks to you I'll be sure to also get a wireless link, so it won't go flying off of the table ????
how about with an angled jack?
I didn't even think to use a cable, instead I use a bluetooth transmitter/receiver, today they are cheap, they have no latency at all and they fit much better in the whole "portable rig" concept.
Just lye it down maan!
the ribbed pattern on the back makes me think its designed to be layed flat.
just turn it on its side
Itâs meant to lay on the back, that is why it has a large rubber grip.
????????????
Spark link solves that ????
The device is designed to sit flat on its back. If you look at it, it's got "ribs" kind of like a speaker. That's because it's a passive radiator that's supposed to give somewhat better bass response. As far as the crackle / noise issue, one of the effects you can add to a signal chain in the app is a noise gate. I get not everyone likes to use these, especially when playing jazz, but it could help a lot for high gain music where noise would be more of a problem.
Isn't this obvious that it would fall after pluggin in the cable?
