Can’t find you tone man. Try to search Karl Golden nothing show up with that specific search and when info to Clapton can’t find your name 😅 please help. I really like the tone you mimic there

@TheJollyMisanthrope 4 года назад

One of the biggest issues I have with sticking with practice is getting a tone that inspires me to play. That's a major reason why I pre-ordered one of these amps. If I can get something similar to a band I really like, and if I'm trying to learn their songs, the tone I'm hearing is just positive reinforcement. I don't really want to spend the time tackling the learning curve of using guitar VST's in a DAW.

The delivery times are catching up. I ordered one in August and got it in under 3 weeks. Very cool amp. I just sold my THR10 and this is now taking it's place. It does a ton more and has better bass response than the Yamaha. Although the THR is a bit easier to use in some ways but I guess it's because I'm still learning the Spark.

@Karlgolden 3 года назад

Thank you Rob! Nice to have a positive comment! I get a lot of hate in the comments for issues people are having and for some unreason I am getting the backlash!? The amp is awesome and I personally had no issues so I don’t understand 🙈🙈🙈

@robmaguire6689 3 года назад

Yeah no problem mate! I just think that something like this new bias/amp/app can be so frustrating in that if you forget one little thing, in the list of things you need to do in order to get up and running (eg.…I had everything A-ok but couldn’t get sound from the app....turns out it was the small volume knob which I had overlooked, was still on 0 setting) then it becomes frustrating, and you what people are like, they put a face to it etc etc. It’s handy to have someone to go through the same thing though so as to solve it together, definitely a plus. Being stuck here (Cheltenham) we’re back on lockdown so it’s the perfect time for spark! Keep safe buddy...Rob.

@BrianGuitars 4 года назад

You convinced me to get one. I use an Amplifi 75 mostly for practice and the 2013 iteration of bluetooth sucks so it's near impossible to tweak anything without a headache. This should be a good upgrade with even more features.

@Tmidiman 4 года назад

Brian interesting. I have an AMPLIFi 150 and have no problems with an IPhone 6S or iPad Air 2. I’ll be getting one if these for the living room, for practice,............if it’s ever released.

@chatter7653 4 года назад

Remember how the original Pod way back in the late 90's pretty much did the same thing when teamed with it's excellent editor/librarian software and also the online portal to user-made tones. Just lacked power amp and speakers and some of the extra apps this has. And you would assume 20 + years of tweaking digital algorithms to create the sounds has improved, although recently their have been a spate of original Pod comparison vids and it still holds up decently particuarly in recordings.

@BrianOates 4 года назад

Try before you buy. Many people love these all in one units. To my ears there are subtle but detectable artifacts like crackling sounds in the distortion and a never fully clear clean sound. These things appear over time spent playing with them, once your ear picks them up you may have trouble ignoring the slight imperfections. I have bought top of the line state of the art app based processing units and found myself getting disappointed with their sound within weeks of using them.

@Karlgolden 4 года назад

Brian Oates this is not the final models to be shipped. The final models are being tweaked to improve the sounds even further 👌

@spsanders69 4 года назад

Yeah, but for the price it is hard to beat. It is more than an amp though, the integration with the iPAD and downloading songs and having a backing band in a box to jam with you is amazing at the price point.

Just a heads up to anyone looking to get their hands on this. Positive Grid is currently behind in manufacturing and delivery by a couple months. It says on their site that you'll get it by February 2020 but people on the forum's who ordered early November 2019 have been informed it may be April before they receive theirs. Be prepared to wait a while if you pre order.

@alexcarvalho4274 4 года назад

They posted yesteray on their website that they shipped the first two runs of the spark, so I don't think that is true.

Alex Carvalho for people who ordered the super early bird. Those were very early orders. Oct November 2019. It says on their site if you ordered today you’ll get it February 2020 which is a lie based on conversations I and others have had with their support team. I ordered December 20 and it’s looking like end of March for me. Here is the forum chat forum.positivegrid.com/topic/3335/power-supporters-looking-like-april-for-us-disgraceful?page=1

Very cool demo finally. I love Bias Amp app but I've been frustrated there are no good third party reviews yet on this thing. Will be pressing preorder buy button in 3, 2 ... Couple other questions - is this actually the same Bias Amp and Fx engine? Can you use the same library of tones etc from those or when it shows you typing in and searching tones is that a Spark-specific library?

@Karlgolden 4 года назад

Sophie Craze it must be from the existing library for them to be over 10k tones. The app to my knowledge isn’t officially released yet

@jayluck8047 4 года назад

Lotta ifs with this amp if it's on preorder. Lotta questions... You can physically turn the amp's knobs and the software will display the changes you make. But, do the amp's knobs physically move if you make changes in the app? Also, the preset knob (the first one), aren't those first two selections just emulators of Bass and Acoustic guitars, not just recommended settings for when you plug in an Acoustic or Bass, but for when you plug in any instrument? I mean, I'm pretty sure neither my acoustic or Fishman sound-hole pickup has a chip in it to tell the amp what they are, considering those were manufactured over 30 and 10 years ago respectively. I'm pretty sure it modifies the sound of anything that sends a signal to it. Example: I think I could patch in a mic to modify a singer's vocal tracks. Oooohhh, Question... if I did plug in a mic, does it have an emulator for a Healy Talk-Box so I can perform The Crüe's - Kickstart, or Frampton's - Do you feel? I'm really tired of the smell when cleaning out the tube and spit-valve on my classic unit if I forgot to brush my teeth before my last practice session. 😳

@markalexander4641 4 года назад

Having viewed all the various demos I could find on this, I don't THINK the knobs move in response to the app. Just vice-versa, as you noted.

@killacoiler1707 4 года назад

How well does this amp replicate the valve tones compared to say the Boss Katana or the Blackstar Silverline deluxe? I love all the options and gizmos, but I want something that truly captures that valve attack, response, and chiming highs of the valve amplifiers. I like the Blackstar Silverline because it allows you to select the different valve styles, such as EL84, 6V6, KT88, and so on, but it is extremely limiting in its available effects. The Boss Katana Artist MK2 is a bit more pricey but delivers the goods as far as tube characteristics, but again it does not allow you to select the tube type just the gain style of the amp and then a boatload of the best stompboxes ever created. I understand that we are probably comparing limes to pears here. Still, I am looking for an all-in-one that genuinely delivers that high-end sound that valve amplification delivers without the cost of a valve amp and then all the effects. I prefer the Silverline over the Katana MK2 standard series, but the Artist MK2 100w is insane sounding, and unless you knew what amp someone is playing through, you would not know that it was a valve replication. I was just curious what your thoughts would be on it. Great Video!

The Spark has lots of tube amp models to select from the Katana uses the roland Blues Cube tube replication technology. I was curious because it would be an awesome little home studio rig if it delivers the tones, attack, and response.

hi man! nice demo. is there a built-in looper in that amp?

@Karlgolden 4 года назад

Hey man I don’t think so. You can loop backing tracks and things

@jonathanromero5292 4 года назад

This is only amp that tweeked my interest from my katana air thr and vox too limited. Just a couple of things missing thst means i wouldnt bother 1. cant change sound chain to get any sound i want. 2 no in depth eq like parametric to fine tune. 3. only 1 effect pedal at time along with a drive. 4. Not wireless which i love on my air But close to msking me get one to side by side agsinst my air as i did eith thr30 and vox which i got rid of both. I would even forgo one less pedal slot on this if it had a parametric eq that like the air could be moved sbout to fine tune sound and be able to alter sound chain and if it was wireless and no using a 3rd party isnt as good as being able to just slot transmitter into sir and its charging. But what i love about this amp is same as air that any downloaded presets are put on in component form and can be used as a starting point unlike thr30 and vox which are literslly click a sound presets. So p. Grid add a parametric eq. Add sound chain moving and an in built wireless and i would get one

I got a THR based wholly on a tone I heard a guy on youtube had and he was kind enough to respond that he got it with only using his THR. It was ridiculously awesome. I tried and tried but could not come close. Don't know what kind of magic he had, but I ended up sending it back. So sad

@VictorGonzalez-gk1nr 4 года назад

How does it handle playing at low volume? Is the quality of the tone consistent even when played very low? I'm trying to decide whether to go for this bad boy or the new Yamaha THR wireless 🤔

@kingfisher7960 3 года назад

Sounds like your playing at full volume. They separated the volume and signal path gain so it sounds the same just lower volume. Because, well, thats what volume is....

@VictorGonzalez-gk1nr 3 года назад

@@kingfisher7960 that's very helpful. Many thanks for sharing that information! 👍

Hi Karl. I finally have a spark amp and have only been able to find your Green Day Tone using the Spark Amp App (Tone Cloud). The others do not appear to be on it. I have searched using your name as well as the artists name. Do you know if they are still on it, or can you re-upload? They sound mega and cant wait to try them. Thanks!

@u2adrian1000 Месяц назад

How do you change effects while a backing track is playing and you are jamming? For example the Fractal Audio units have scenes with effects for each of the footswitches but how do you get this effect on the Spark Positive Grid? For example if I play U2 with lots of effects how would I switch between them while simultaneously using a backing track live?

I need an answer to this particular question. Thanks.

@rickmcnulty7909 4 года назад

Really Great video! Can you play "along" with any Spotify, RU-vid or other song app..at the same time? Can you play "along" with an external device, mp3 player, phone etc.? What song is that at end you are riffing on? Is that included song, app or what? Your video is the only video I have seen where someone actually shows " the back"!!!! Wow! An AUX input!!! There it is. Thanks
