Getting Started with the Spark App 

These vids are great...should be required viewing for all Spark owners. Dude has a great delivery and the info is easy to understand. The vids really help me get a handle on everything the app and amp are capable of.

I'm STUNNED 😳. I just got my Spark Go today. Can't wait to get home and start jamming 😃

This is my first video on your channel. It is precise and well-organized, covering the details without a lot of blah-blah. I will watch it numerous times and check the others out as well. I also really appreciated your brief description of what each "pedal" does. Great explanation for a newbie like myself. Thank you!

Just got the Spark - been playing for 25 years and this has reignited the fun. This dude is great and helped me get oriented to the settings.

I’ve had a spark 40 for a while now, and recently got the Mini for making practice more mobile. Watching this has made me realise how much I’m underusing the app, lots more for me to explore and he explains it very well without all the noise you get on other explanation videos. Cheers

literally just bought one of these a couple of days ago, and your videos have been extremely helpful in getting me started having just watched the first couple. Nicely done and inspiring

great vids, i found your explanations to be super thorough and clear, was incredibly helpful...it's so rare to find vids with every detail covered in such a clear and thorough way, super grateful for this thanks!

This is the best instructional video EVER!!! I just received mine yesterday. The white looks amazing.

Much appreciated both on content and presentation. Although other videos referenced cover the topic, I'd like to see Dave Tran cover those topics. His teaching style is superb.

Thanks for these updated videos. Much smoother experience. Getting better ALL the time@

Great job. Mine just arrived today. Super impressed with the flexibility of this little amp.

Greetings from Liverpool. Many thanks for doing this excellent video. I’m looking forward to using the amp to its full potential. Clear and concise, much appreciated

Thank you. I've been away from guitar for a while and I think this will be one of my first purchases.

This is a brilliant video. Just bought the Spark Go as I work away a lot and wanted something I can travel with… very impressed with it so far 🤘🏼🥳

Thanks Dave. This is the advice I've been looking for since I got my Spark Go a couple of months ago! You teach it well.

Great vids man!! Its like you're right there helping me set up and use my Spark. I really appreciate your info, and enjoy learning. THANKS!!

Thanks for these videos! Well done! I'll be referencing them often until I learn my way around.

nice vid, this guy is so cool and relaxing to listen to and speaks very well and straight to the point, you should keep him around to do a series of videos on features as well as playing and exploring tones.

Thanks Dave - you have an awesome teaching technique. This 75 Yr old is still learning. I've just acquired a Spark amp and will watch your other tutorials + your other youtube guitar channels..

Just got the Mini, boy do I need these vids! Keep them coming please and Thank You!👍🤘

Just fantastic. Thanks so much for your time and effort. This has made all the difference to me. Tony

Thanks for posting this clearly communicated tutorial. This is a great walk-through and have me some reference points, adding to my anticipation, while I wait for my Spark Mini.

Huge thanks for such a concise and detailed introduction!

Very helpful vid Dave. Your delivery of the info is excellent which is such a big deal on YT. You did a great job and as a new Spark Go user the information you shared is very useful for me.. Thanks much.

Thanx so much for this video, it really helped me out learning how to use my new Spark Mini & especially the App. Clear concise instructions and examples, I especially loved watching his reaction while going thru the various FX pedals - yeah, not a real flanger/phaser fan either. Looking forward to checking out the other videos.

Thanks for this! I’m horrible with electronics and you have made this so much easier. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing all your videos.

i've just got my spark 40 and found this very nice tuto !! thank you !!

Great vid! Just what I was looking for. Step by step simple explanations of the features. Looking forward to seeing more.

Great information presented in an easy to follow format. Thank you!

Thank you for an excellent presentation of the features of the Spark amp.

I love how he kept a straight face when he engaged the vibrato pedal. I learned on the line 6 spider jam amp and it helped me a lot. I’d recommend the spark to beginner guitarists for sure. Amazing

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to educate me on how to use my new Spark. Can wait to start practicing and getting better at playing my electric guitar 🎸

Thanks man! Great intro to the Spark. Just got the Go and finding my way, your tutorial has helped me a lot!! New sub right here! Cheers!

Brilliant, I now understand my spark amp ....you rock !!!

Thanks for the guide. I was playing around an hour with the App, and could not figure out how to add / change an effect or amp. Now I know the double tap is neeeded

Just got my Spark 40, loving it as a beginner player.

Really an awesome video! Very well done. Your video is the first I have found that actually goes through the software capabilities step by step. Tons of videos on the amp itself, but you did a wonderful job on just the software. I subscribed and am looking forward to all your other content! Well done.

Thanks! Outstanding tutorial.

What a great video, just received mine today! So excite

Really first class and sensible explanation his teaching videos are equally as good

Great video, really helped a lot. Keep them coming

Thank you I finally picked up a spark today very glad i found you! Subd

Very helpful video & easy to follow. I learnt quite a lot from it & it will certainly help me get more from my Spark Go device.

I just came here to work out how to change pedals, but stayed for the informative full tutorial 😊

Amazing Clarity Thanks!

Great video and very well presented. Top marks!

Excellent review!!! Thanks!😊

Nice job with these tutorials young man!

Outstanding video. Thank you.

That was very helpful. Thank you.

I totally agree, very well done my friend!

Well done! Exactly what I wanted to know. 🙂

excellent presentation...

Dear Positive Grid. Thank you for the review. The amp and the app are both great and I'm enjoying them both very much. Could you please reveal some more information on how to create a SPARK account, Sign Up, Log In and so on.

I sold a guy a Strat style all maple neck that he needed for a build he’s doing. He just happened to mention that he JUST had a Positive Grid Spark amp that he played through, like he was slumming it or something lol. I’d never heard of the amp, so quickly Googled it, and checked out some of the videos on the thing, including this one. I was COMPLETELY blown away by what I was hearing, and seeing! I couldn’t believe the sounds and features on this amazing amp! I’d say within an hour, probably less, I had ordered myself the new, Pearl version, as with the discounts offered by Amazon, everything evenened out. It didn’t cost any extra than if I’d bought the black version! Well, I’ve been tearing my hair out, waiting for it to arrive, which will be between Monday and Friday of next week. In the meantime, I’ve been watching every video I can find on the amp, and just keep getting more and more impressed/excited about the thing! Can’t wait until it arrives lol!!

I never new you could change pedals by double tapping thank you!

Thank you for the awesome instructional video that is easy to understand. Will you be releasing a video that speaks to the differences between the Spark and the Spark Mini when it comes to the App? Thanks again!

Great job man

Muchas gracias! Me fue muy útil

Thanks for the introduction of the spark and the information, 🙂🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video. Just got my Spark Go. I live in a flat and dont want to annoy the neighbours, hence the small amp. Good delivery without all the techno babble.

good information

Dave thank you for your excellent presentation; very concise and well done. Can you tell me if I’ll be able to plug my Hohner Harp Blaster HB52 microphone into it to play my harp?

Hi thanks very detailed demo. I’m thinking of using this instead of my heavy pedalboard if I am just playing 3 songs on stage. Is it possible to use only the line output and not the main speaker? Like plugging it directly to mixer. We have IEM setup so I don’t need to hear the speaker.

Dear Positive Grid, thanks for the video. Just wondering if there is a possibility to add a functionality in the app in the future like a set list (by song or patch groups) with virtual buttons to change patches (e.g., like in Boss Katana Librarian app)? I envisage that the phone can be put on a mic stand with a clip-on stand at an appropriate height to change patches. This will be a very useful feature in a small live gig situation (with a lineout to PA), without having to buy a footswitch that allows only four presets.

Great video! What if I search songs that are played using alternate tunings? Will the images show the tuning, as well?

Any chance they could add customizable categories (beyond Pop, Blues, etc.) so that I could save presets for songs and not have to scroll through a list? (Or at least, is there a way to rearrange preset orders within a category?)

Hi Dave, great vids. Is there a way to change the capo position from what is given when I'm using apple music and auto chords?

I want to group the presets for my different bands together. Is there any way to change the order of the presets in the Spark app? I have tried to find some way to do it but no one seems to know how. This would be a great feature for your next app update.

This is very cool. How many of these features work on bass?

Hi, thanks for your overview. Just a simple but vital question; does it have anykind of lagging while jammin along? For example "Rocksmith" is unplayable to me because of lagging. I can't stand not even a nano second of lag - it's absolutely horrifying to me. I need total tightness

I don't want to run my amp from a phone app (screen size for a major reason), but I wonder if I may have to give in and get a Spark anyway. Do you think they will ever come up with a Windows program?

Hi...How can we save the jam session we created. I would like to save that so i can play later and don have to recreate it. thanks for your response in advance

i got my Spark Mini four days ago, its graet! I play it with a Start and an e-ukulele, makes so much fun! But how can i arrange my favorite sounds in the app?🤔 Can i create own categories?

in the section where you went into saving tones, i downloaded the metallica one and saved it, vut i dont have a "hardware" option ...where is it? i only have from "all" to acoustic".

Hi. I’ve been seeing some reviews about the Spark Go. I like the way you explained things, very calm and relaxed. I’m aware the Spark Go app used RU-vid search engines. For the record, I’m from Mexico and I’m still wondering… Do you know if you can find any songs, including the Latin genres like Bolero, Son Cubano, and Cumbia? Thanks, cheers!

I see an orange cab below the amp head in the software, is that changeable and does it change tone?

Hi, am I able to connect my tablet to the spark to adjust the settings etc and make use of the app but at the same time connect my laptop for the audio? I tried to do it but can't seem to connect both it's only one or the other

Do I need the Spark amp for the app?! Would be the best if you simply could use the whole amp in an app. (without the actual amp)

I've had my Spark 40 and Mini for almost a year now and I'm wondering how to get the new ODS 50 update. I've updated my firmware to the latest 1.7.4 and I update the iOS app on my phone but i still don't see the new amps or pedals. Out of all the videos you guys do on the Spark it would be great if someone just showed how to actually update the thing. Thanks

one thing I have noticed is that, with a phone and an iPad, sometimes you bluetooth audio spontaneously connects to the wrong device. I prefer the iPad, but the phone is more convenient when traveling. So just check both if there are connection issues.

Am I right in saying this means I wouldn’t have to use my fiddly little i rig adapter to pair up to the app like I currently do with the Tonebridge app? So I just get the spark amp, download the app, plug my cable from guitar to amp, pair up the Bluetooth using the app and hey presto? And I listen to what I’m playing through airpods?Please tell me I can I’m so sick of all the wires I have to use. I will literally buy this tomorrow if you can confirm these things for me

I recently got the Pearl Spark. I haven't tried the App yet but I notice that when I plug straight into the amp and not using the App, the electric distorted tones are very bassy ,very little high end even with the eq's treble all the way up and bass all the way down. I'm guessing that can all be fixed using the app?

So is the signal chain fixed? Can I have phaser and flanger in the same chain?

Is this direct pluggable into a recorder or DAW to record?

If you've added the app to your phone, can you add it to another device like a tablet or are you limited to only 1?

Hi! I connected my iPhone to the spark go,tried to use the APP’s camera . But it’s sound likes record by IPhone’s microphone 😅 Does it work when I connect to the USB C? 9:42

For our hero

Does the Spark mini/app have a pitch shifter pedal effect?

Number 3, press the power button to start Bluetooth pairing mode. I thought mine was defective.

Help. When I tap create and choose a drummer the app shuts down and I have to restart it. Cant create my own tracks. everything else works? jam tracks ect?

hello i have a problem i hope you can help me but when i go to spotify on the spark app it says "Fetch playlist fail:-1" and it also does the same with my brothers spark app i dont know why please help.

Can you add more pedals to the chain? if so, how to? Thanks, master. Cheers to the community.

Can you use spark with line 6 ampli 150

So the Ipad was connected to the amp through bluetooth only right? There is no jack or wires of some sort? Sorry just trying to figureout things here before I possibly buy this

Absolutely Zero customer Service. I have been trying to order a grounded power supply for days now. All I get in response is we are merging your tickets into one to avoid confusion. But no one has gotten back with me on how to order the grounded power supply for my spark 40

My Spark has problem with intermittent audio cut-off that lasts about 1 minute. Problem also occurs with USB connected to iMac as an interface. Downloaded update-sill has this problem Waiting for feedback.

Hello, can you tell me what kind of tablet you use?

Hi there i try to connect my ipad pro with bias fx2 running on my spark amp but it wont work. I connect the cable but it seems like something is missing. Do i need to connect between the ipad and amp an extra audio interface? Ty mike

Why cant i use bias fx on my spark amp via the ipad?
