Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Amp & Speaker – Pearl

Love this thing. Saw youtube videos from 3yrs ago complaining about connection issues and firmware updates. Mine connects fine so far, and I just went with the firmware it already has, as it works amazing as is. I just use it to practice out in my yard and the sound is perfect for that. Do not expect hi fi. Put it on a 'Hendrix' setting and it sounded better than what I get out of my amps-as I just don't get involved with pedal or amp tweeking-I've just set them and play as is as their intricacies just don't interest me. I want to spend time playing. This thing though added that slap back or momentary echo after hitting a chord and was just...perfect. It was a lo fi mini version, so SOUND is not better than my amps, but the vibe was just so fun and a surprise from this little thing. Glad I got it. So far, so easy. UPdate; 9/26. I finally started using this with headphones. So much for calling this lo fi. With your headphones on, and picking a good pre-set, just amazing sound. I'm addicted. I can play in the yard and sound like I have a stack of Marshalls making the trees sway...and no one hears a thing, which is just what I want. Highly recommend this.

I just received my spark go and was truly impressed. The sound quality is great for such a small device. The amp is not overly loud but the volume is plenty for house practice and on the road practice. The tones are great and there is a multitude of amps and effects to shape the sound your trying to achieve. The app is pretty simple to use comes with tons of features like tuner, metronome, and lots of varied backing tracks to practice along with. The amp also functions extremely well as a portable Bluetooth speaker that you can play music through. Battery life is great and charges just like a phone. This will fit inside virtually any guitar case/gig bag and you have an extremely portable amp that has all the tones and effects of much more expensive amps in a form factor that you can take with you anywhere. I own a lot of music gear but this device is so feature laden and versatile for the money that there’s hardly any level of musician that would not benefit from owning one of these devices. There’s nothing in this devices price range that comes close to having all these features. Heck, most decent Bluetooth speakers aren’t this cheap and this thing functions as a fully featured amp modeler that can project great sound quality or be used with headphones!

I have a travel guitar that, I used to use a lot but the honey tone amp ate batteries, the set up breakdown time was annoying and the sound quantity disappointing, so I mostly stopped using it. I ordered this amp with low expectations but after playing with it I couldn’t wait to endorse it: I love this amp! Great sound, great build quality nice and compact. The app has one common feature I don’t Ike but is very powerful. Feature I don’t like: different amps and mixers are skeuomorphic forcing you to interact with pictures of physical Amps. Feature I love: you can play a track and have the app lift the guitar settings an apply them to your guitar. Volume is surprisingly strong and clean and distortion free. By far the best electric guitar accessory I’ve gotten in years. One physical complaint. I wish there was a way to have a rigid connection the the guitar. I bought a male male amp adapter hoping I can attach the amp right to the amp port (although this will face the speaker towards me rather than out). Ps - also doubles as a high quality Bluetooth speaker.

Amazing! So much sound for such a little thing. The app helps a lot too. Very portable, great for playing indoors, outdoors, or on the go! Built-in presets (effects) are included; Rhythm, Lead, Solo, and Custom (reminder, doesn't need the app to access). It came with it's own charging cable (not box though) and the Bluetooth has its own volume controls for jamming along tracks. Overall great 5w amp, would recommend! (It came 3 days earlier which was spectacular!)

The Positive Grid amps have been getting great reviews in the guitar press. I’ve been tempted to buy one for travel and back porch jamming use, and the GO was cheap enough for me to finally do so. The pluses: - It’s very tiny, small enough to fit in a guitar case or gig bag pocket. - it has a wide range of sounds - it’s easy to modify the sounds with the app - the app includes a play-along function that allows you to jam with mp3s or make up your own backing track on the fly. - battery life is excellent - it’s also an excellent Bluetooth speaker The minuses: - it’s not very loud. While it claims a 5 watt output, that 5 watts is limited by a 2” speaker. Most of my acoustic guitars are louder - you need to use the app to get decent sounds. While there are four built-in sounds that can be used without the app, I found that two of them weren’t very useful to me. - As a bass guitar amp it’s only useful with headphones. Should you buy it? If minimum size and cost are the most important factors in making your choice, absolutely. But for $100 or so more, the Spark Mini delivers a lot more volume and low end, and the new Blackstar Beam might be even better.

Love this little amp. Has built in tuner and available backing tracks. The ai feature will create a backing track for any melodies or riffs that you play.. The sound is great. High quality and clear. Perfect for practicing and jamming in the living room. Loud enough to hear and enjoy but won’t disturb your neighbors! Haven’t explored all the effects yet but what I have explored, I love!! Where has this been all my life?!? For the price, it’s a treasure!!

Only had it for a couple of days but I already know I like it. If you just plug your guitar into it, the little speaker sounds pretty good. Not like a full size amp, it's a little thin, but you can EQ the tone for a little more bottom. When you plug it into a PA system, it really comes alive. You can find any tone you can think of in the Tonecloud and it sounds great! I left my pedal board at home and used it for a band rehearsal last night and it was pretty awesome. The four presets held all my usual tones and once I get the pedal switcher it will be even easier. I plan to gig with it. The tones I've gotten from the cloud are a little bottom heavy, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Like I said before, you can EQ the patches, I just haven't had that much time to play with it yet. After playing with the amp for a couple of weeks and playing a couple of gigs with it, I'm upgrading to 5 stars. I got the Airstep switching pedal to use with it and it made it easy to use on stage. Run through the P.A. the tones you get out of it are as good as you could want in a stage situation. The thousands of tone patches available, the fact that you can Bluetooth backing tracks, the auto chord function, the Jamtracks, and all the other extras in the app make just those things worth the cheap price of this amp. The only drawback is that it's made my pedal board obsolete. I'm glad I got mine before the price goes up, because it probably will with a product of this quality.

Nothing beats this. In all ways you can think of. Price for the product is absolutely awesome. Its so conveniently portable. Easy to hook up. Want to show off at a party? This thing fits in your pocket. I could list so many things Ive done with this little amp my review would end up a novel. Get the thing. If you are looking for a practice amp you can jam woth, has a tuner, a plethora of community made amp tones, AI made amp tones, AI drummer to jam with... seriously I could go on for days. Buy it. If you arent satisfied with it Ill pay for your refund myself😂

I use it with a blues harmonica, and it exceeded all my expectations. I can only recommend it!

Vraiment le meilleur truc que j'ai jamais eu de ma vie. On peut jouer partout quand on veut. Très léger, petit on peut même le mettre dans sa poche. On peut l'utiliser en tant qu'une simple enceinte ordinaire. Mais c'est un véritable ampli connecter avec sur batterie et qui dure longtemps. Sur l'application il y a plein d'effets. Clairement pour le prix c'est extrêmement correct. Avec un ampli classique où on voudrait y ajouter des effets ça aurait clairement coûter plus cher (Et ça aurait pris une place pas possible chez soi). Alors que là on a tout dans une seule enceinte. Accompagné d'un son de très bonne qualité. Moi qui aime bien jouer 10min par-ci par-là de temps en temps tout au long de la journée. Vu que c'est sur batterie et que les effets sont déjà dedans. Pas besoin de faire d'installation ou de branchement à chaque fois et de tout ranger 10 minutes après. (Si vous êtes comme moi c'est si je vous faut mdrr) Qualitatif, simple et efficace !!! C'est exactement ce que je recherchais Sans parler du design de l'ampli, qui est vraiment super jolie et les matières sont agréables et m'ont l'air de durée dans le temps (Il fournissent 2 pièces supplémentaires pour modifier le look à notre goût). Extrêmement ravi je recommande à 1000%

The wow factor of this is the amp and effects unit. It does what it's supposed to, which is make your guitar sound fantastic. The phone app is easy to use and includes a nice tuner feature as well as a massive selection of effects. The sound through headphones is incredible and it's really a perfect headphone practice box, though it does have a decent speaker. Spark will tell you all about the AI features, and the ability to play backing tracks, and that works well, but we wary ... some of the features come with an extra cost. The audio reproduction from this tiny amp+speaker is very good. Volume is great for the size and the quality is decent. It's not directly comparable to an Apple speaker or similar as it's not attempting 3D sound - it's just a good mono speaker. I've had a few devices like this, and none of them sounded as good, either through headphones, on built-in speaker, or into a power-amp. Setup is easy, though the setup guide is poorly presented. It comes with two face plates so you can have fabric look or black, and a choice of straps. Everything feels rugged, solid and robust, no loose plastic or cheap controls. The base is rubberized to stay put and damp any rattles from sitting on a desk or floor. If I have one tiny complaint, it's that it can be a little slow to negotiate a bluetooth connection, and you have to manually make the phone-app reconnect each time you power the unit on. Other than that, it punches way above its weight and easily knocks out the "usual" competitors. Spark are the boss of the phone-app-driven amp segment right now. I've heard the Spark 2 and that encouraged me to buy this with confidence. Obviously, these things don't sound quite like a big cabinet plus a high-end valve amp, but they are eerily good for the size and money.

Powerhouse of a practice amp. The wonderful features aside just the portability makes it so easy to play anywhere and anytime! The tones are surprisingly good for something so small

Einfach nur der Hammer! Mit der App hat man fast grenzenlose Möglichkeiten, was die Effekte angeht, und der Klang ist 1A.
