Uses AI to figure out chords for you and shows how to play them. Learns your tone and playing style, then creates a backing track to jam to? Wow!

I'm interested. Plus I could walk room to room or even chase others in the house while I jam.

I think this is pretty cool(useful).

My poor audience!

 

[Maxbrothman]

Done. That's an instant buy. I will tell you why.

First of all, Spark have the best EVH sound and plugins for it. It beats everything else. That alone is worth it.
Second, I bought a Katana mini for holiday. It weighs like a small novel and had loads of features. Loved it. Makes me want the 100W Katana head but there is a Katana Air that does wireless but if they do a Mark III head with wireless I am sold.
Until then... this!

End of. Ordered.

That fast. I rarely do that. I do own Positive Grid software though. I use Helix instead now.

Here is what I mean by EVH.

In a couple of years when the Spark GO is "too much amp," we'll get the Spark Watch.

I have a Spark Mini and love it. It's been a transformative practice tool for me! I haven't figured out how to use the Smart Jam feature yet but I am using the feature that lets you jam along with other tracks. I was able to find my band's music and so I can "practice" with our recordings outside of our rehearsals.

Looks like a great Father’s Day gift for me. The Spark 40 is so damned good, so I’m sure this will blow away my Blackstar Fly.

Great job on the Panama cover. What preset or settings did you use to that perfect EVH sound?

That's MF'er @Steve Whiting in the Spark VH vid.

Ha, that's not my video. I wish it were. The Spark ToneCloud Presets.

I just bought a Mini for practice in places a regular amp would be too much. I considered the new Spark Go, but the mini is small enough to easily fit in a suitcase and has better sound distribution. Not a bad little amp for what it is. Is it a tube amp running high end effects and sound as good? Definitely not, but it sounds good enough for mini digital modeling and practice amp for that purpose. Once I was able to edit it with the app (which was a pain in the a.. more than it should be) and write some new presets to the four save spaces on the amp, it's pretty good. Worth the money to me for a low cost battery powered, take anywhere practice amp. I would certainly recommend one for a newer player just starting out as a great first amp to learn with too.

I’ve ordered one! As I noodle on the sofa most night’s unplugged I thought it would be nice and my jbl go Bluetooth speaker battery is now almost useless so was a no brainer. Had a play on app to familiarise myself whilst I wait for it to be delivered in late May apparently.
Looking forward to getting it. I don’t expect a massive sound but quiet noodling be great and as mentioned I’d love some decent Evh tones

Did you get a Mini or a GO? Because the Mini can be so quiet you can play it late at night while others are sleeping and it bother no one. The GO should be even more so. The GO does seem to be able to hang from a guitar with ease and someone just walk around practicing.

Tempted with the mini and passed. I have a 40. This is interesting but I'll probably wait for opinions.

 

[Deftone]

I had a 40 and sold it, the GO might work for me though.

 

[Mike_LA]

Bah! Don't want anything that I have to control with a [email protected] app.
Battery operated, 2 channel Peavey With a proper speaker, . . . . . done.

Ordered the Go. Wanted a new Bluetooth speaker also and this works for my sofa area as there is no power near by so battery power is perfect and I can use at work to play hair metal radio whilst I crack on

Cool. I hope you like it. The GO is even more portable. It looks like you can even put it in your pocket. They all work as bluetooth speakers from what I know. I bought the Mini for similar purpose. For the hotel, for camping, on the porch, on the top of a mountain, roof of a skyscraper, etc.... I've had a bunch of little portable amps for the purpose over the years and this one probably is the best sounding since it has some solid basic effects with reasonable adjustment to get some fun tones and save them. And it charges off my cell phone charger.
