Big Tone In A Small Package! Positive Grid Spark! 

Hey Fluff I've had my spark for a few weeks now and your dual rec preset is definitely my favorite of them all! Sounds so close to a real boogie. Cheers!

I was actually chatting with their youtube channel in the last two weeks and told them "The only thrid party review I'm waiting for is Fluff's from Riffs, Beards & Gear" I'm glad you just put this up!!!

Adorable handle? Ok, I'm sold

Hell ya "Alone + Easy Target" been years since I heard it. This was an awesome demo, been looking at these. Thanks man!

I'ma gonna go pre order one of these. Perfect thing to have sitting next to my spot on the couch!

Alone+Easy Target is one of my go-to tunes for trying out a distortion!

I am super excited about this box since it was in the making by Positive Grid. Happy to see a couple of my backing tracks appear in this demo :) I think Spark could be like heaven for all jammers and improvisation lovers.

Fluff is the guy that texts his sentences one word at a time.

0:36 wait that is actually clean

If that auto transcriber feature works decently enough, this is going to be a great practice amp for a lot of people. I'm interested in using it at lessons.

Great review. When you summarise all of the capabilities, it really is a serious piece of kit to help build your chops and have some fun doing it.. 👍

Fluff: Uses the Les Paul GoldTop he got for free Me: Is so jealous wants to dislike but leaves a like bc good content

why why why do amp makers think we all want controls on the back of the top??? makes no sense, especially for a desktop practice amp.

Seems like a great tool for the bedroom guitarist. I’ve been thinking about an amp that would work well for guitar and bass, might have to look at this! Thanks Fluff!

This would’ve been great info a month ago... I knew I should’ve kept my email subscription to positive grid. Update: I preordered this! Thanks for the video!

Pre ordered mine in February. Delivery should have been April. Then moved to May. Then moved to June. They they said that they HOPED to start shipping in August. I would have been lucky too see a delivery sometime in September. I cancelled my order and bought a blackstar ID core BEAM. Brilliant kit and arrived 2 days after order.

You also reviewed the new THR30ii....how does it compare to this one?

Spark vs THR30ii This is a must video, we wants it

Nice cover of the Foo Fighters! I still think that is their best album and definitely one of the top albums of the 90's.

Starting to develop the opinion that some of the rack mount processing equipment like Kemper helix and other are just tantamount to $1,000 worth of compression which is useless keep it salty and keep it raunchy keep it High Gain and keep it Marshall. Marshalltown loudest raunchiest and saltiest with no compression . Thank you for the demonstration of the amp I really enjoyed it and I might purchase it. Blah hum bug

3:44 Fluff dad chuns 😂😂😂😂😂

I became very excited about this product when you mention that it also works for bass, then within seconds I was disappointed that you didn't demo it's bass tones. That feature sounds like something to make this more than just another amp modeler, and instead something that can benefit those that like to record bass through DI's. (Which seems to be common practice.)

That sounds like a freaking amazing deal, and it's really inexpensive it's less than $300 rn, I wish I had the money lol

Holy shit! When did Bert Kreicher grew a beard and start playing guitar? Lol, just having fun, awesome videos man!

the only thing that is on the edge for me is the Bluetooth speaker function. How does it sound to listen to music? Maybe you can do a quick demo of how it sounds with songs in different genres. I have looked all over RU-vid and haven't found a video about this feature. maybe one of you in the comments has found a vid or maybe one of you has one and can tell me what it sounds like?

How does it sound at low volume? Can it give an acceptable tone at low volume like a Yamaha THR?

Nice Foo Fighters tone!

I have the Katana 50 i got new for $169 and really love it for at home practice but this amp has my interest in a big way! Has anyone ever compared the two amps? With tweaking i got the Katana to sound very non solid state . I fooled a few of my buds in a blindfold test where they did not know what i was using but i told them it was a Marshall. When they seen it was a $169 Boss amp they were shocked.

The first sentence of your title is the nickname I gave my junk!

Really cool bit of kit but I am not sure I really liked how it sounds. For the money it's pretty good but I deff need to hear it myself before considering it. It just seems to lack any punch and the gain seems really thin and fizzy. Maybe it's just the settings or my personal taste but I can't figure out exactly why I don't love it sound wise. All the features are awesome though

Waiting for mine. Hoping I like it. But, no foot switch, no ability to use a separate cab, no line out, and no effects loop. Wish it had a foot switch especially. Having to reach over and turn effects on and off on a device sucks. As a Bias FX 2 Ultimate owner, I’m curious if I’ll play this more around the house for convenience or my MeloAudio AI plus iPad and MeloAudio Footswitch for function. We’ll see.

Awesome review! It was very cool to hear it be demoed in the room and direct. I think this system will be very good for all levels of players. Just like the katana it’s a ton of bang for you buck.

great little amp except for one major flaw...theres no speaker out to run it into a cab - really missed the mark there. for $300 make it about 50 watt with an out for a cab out instead of the built in speakers. Boom, killers piece, then make a 100 or 150w for about $100 more and you got 2 killer affordable head options.

Can't wait got one coming

I wish they would make it with out the speakers. Just a small 15 or 20 watt head that contains the Bias FX software and an out to my 4 x 12 cabinet. Similar to the Mooer Little Tank D15. Moore really hit a grand slam with the Little Tank D15. If they come out with a unit similar to the Little Tank I would buy it.

I ordered mine on December, 2019 and I received it yesterday. It was worth the wait! Been using the free plug ins on my I Phone.

I ordered one a few weeks ago. I am pretty excited to get it. Should replace the mass of practice amps lying around my space. I am a bass player, but dabble in some guitar. One amp to rule them all.

I was thinking about maybe replacing my Yamaha THR 10 for this, but definitely even recording via USB the Quality of the Yamaha blows 1000 times this amp away, would be nice to listen to the amp personally anyway.

Did anyone else noticed some weird pitch thing on the Foo Fighters tune and on the last clean sound?

You missed 2 big questions. Lucky for you im here lol First how does this compare in sound to the other stereo amps? .Yamaha thr katana stereo etc. Second how does this compare to computer version? I know that depends in speakers abd interface. Great video and i think yours is one of tye best so far would have like to hear more variety of sounds like effects using stereo and more amp sims

How does the low-end of Spark compares to the Yamaha Thr30? Thanks, Ton

Wanna hear some bass tones on this amp

Just ordered one with the carry bag. Im expecting it to take 6 months or more but will be great when it gets here!

I see a ton of people saying they have pre-ordered it after watching this video, but not one has come back to comment on their experience :-/ Yamaha THR for me!

Friedman sounded awesome 👏

I have one of these on pre-order. I have high expectations. We shall see...

Just saw this initially on a Tom Quayle/Dawson's music vid and I gotta disagree with you on one thing Fluff - if this things features, especially the live chord transcription thing actually works half as good as they say, this thing could be a genuine game changer in this kind of device space. And in that case, right now, this thing has no absolutely competitors that I know of, in any guitar amp/speaker. On top of that, the asking price seems crazy reasonable for a Positive Grid product. I for one am gonna look real hard at this little sucker, but my interest is indeed piqued. :)

I ordered my spark and with everything going on. i will probably get it next year, I hope not. Looking forward to getting it soon

Fiiiinaly. Was looking forward to this guy doing this.... Now to watch....

How does this compare to the Yamaha THR30II? If you still have both the THR and the Spark and they weren't just demo models you borrowed, a comparison video would be awesome. :)

Hello, Do you think I could get Type O Negative Peter Steel Tones on the Spark? Thanks David

I wanted to hear the jamming feature lol didn't sound very good to me though but I do like it for beginners

Mine has way too much bass and I have the bass set to zero. It also has some weird static after chords ring out. overall, I think its pretty meh. So many options and buttons with the app but the tone is just not there. A Yamaha practice amp sounds better - waaaay less features - but sounds better.

I currently re-amp bias fx 2 through my blackstar tvp15, think this might be a better alternative..

Can I get some sweet Mastodon tones out of this? I’ve got it sat in my basket waiting to pull the trigger 👀

Is this made in China cause I see delivery delayed and delayed.

Alone + Easy Target! Nice!

Nice sounding amp! i'll have to look into one of these!

Thanks Beard Buddy

Nice demo, thanks!

Alone + Easy Target?!?! Nice

Thanks for the vid! Hey where did you get those diffusers?

1:56 Fluff Dad Crunch

So this is a really good competitor for the yamaha thr10 and vox adio air gt?

Nice review did you get the travel bag and how was it? Thanks!

Alone + Easy Target! Underrated Foos song

You had me at adorable handle!

iPad only? What about iPhone? Can you save presets to the amp and use it without the iPhone? Or are all the options tied to app?

If this is more for home use, I already have this with my computer or ipad and a set of 50W powered studio monitors. Jamup, or any other dsp software and a simple Irig HD interface.

Bark!

Whats better for metal. The Yamaha Thr10x or the Positive Grid

What sounds better this amp it the Yamaha thr10ii?

like that EBMM guitar that you are playing... what is the exact model?

Are you capable of hooking it up to another Bluetooth speaker I have a guitar amp that is Bluetooth I understand that it don't have a line out I just want to be able to scale the sounds that they are providing

I really wish they would release a hardware companion to their FX package. Bias Rack + Bias FX Rack would be great.

Foot control channel changes? midi? I think they will come out with a more fully featured version

Can you break out an acoustic and demonstrate some of that? They claim its good for acoustic too. That got me thinking this unit would be better if it had a vocal input and did all the vocal effects stuff, all in one mini PA kinda thing. That would blow ppls minds and basically have the entire market

Nobody is actually demonstrating how this jam along, tune-clone backing track feature works. I wonder why?

Is there a video showing how it works instead of just how it sounds.

Should I get this or the Boss Katana 50 MkII?

Does it work well for recording? Like would you use it for your guitar sounds if sending tracks to other people?

This is a very cool amp at a very affordable price!

Got mine 2 days ago, it comes with an ungrounded power supply?!? The humming and unwanted noise is stunning. Over a 90 day wait for an amp with great features and an ungrounded power supply. Who does that? BTW customer service has not responded to my request to return this humming machine. Not sure how all of these Spark demonstrators pull off their videos with straight faces?

Just pre-ordered. Been a tone chaser forever. Now I can get all that for around $200 plus a small amp? And play music through it via Bluetooth? Take my money! Shit, I paid almost $300 for the JBL Extreme a few years ago.

Sounds like a REALLY fun toy for about the price of a new pedal. I'm in.

Ordered mine two months ago and have not received it yet. Is there even ONE SINGLE PERSON who paid money for this and got their amp. I am beginning to think not!

Alone and Easy Target!

Is it possible to use a Bluetooth footswich to change patch?

can you load custom IRs into it?

Are you able to put down a Hi-gain riff or progression & then practice solos over that? Or does it act like a looper & becomes too muddled to hear everything clearly? Thanks for all the GReAT content!!

Just pre ordered one

Looks a lot like a Roland Micro Cube.

just placed an order for mine!! now i can get rid of my katana!

Positive Grid says it has great bass tones as well, any chance you could demo some bass sounds from the Spark?

How does that compare against the Marshall code 50? If you could only have 1 amp, which one would you go with?

Can it actually tab complex riffs?

Does it come with Bias FX? Or do you have to buy that separately

Great video man, will say though I would’ve liked to hear your actual opinion on the features rather than just the features themselves. Does the voice command feature work? How effectively does it detect chords from songs that you’ve tried?? Etc x

could ya do a tutorial on how ur interfacing this unit n getting such a big sound? thx!

I am seriously thinking about this amp but I would be great if you could go to down to a guitar store and test it out, I am not sure this is amp will be always mail order maybe like Harley Benton Guitars that's why they are so affordable,
