Thanks Baz, always wondered about these little ones, much better than expected. 👍🏻

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

Yep, very pleasantly surprised - throw it in a bag and go. I guess I'd like a little amp sounding like this that I could control WITHOUT an app doing it.. but... there we are.

@paul_mitchener_ukulele 24 дня назад

What a fun toy! Could save a small fortune in pedals for home use. I don’t need one, but I want one. I can’t believe the sound from something so small.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yeah - pretty amazing what they've done. And I hardly had it turned up!

@LorraineKenna 24 дня назад

Great review Baz. Love it. Thank you .

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

My pleasure!

@chuckvt5196 23 дня назад

Great review, Baz! I have the standard Spark and love it. Looks like another winner!

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Amazing that it does all the standard stuff in such a tiny package!

@markattardo 24 дня назад

Cool little amp! I read that the rubber on the back is so you can lay it down and some.."ahem" ..bass... will transfer to the furniture it's on. I wondered about using the Spark Go on a solid body instead of something like a Nova U with Acousticplus when I saw it. Thanks for going ove the amp!👍👍

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

I think you are right - when recording an earlier take of this it toppled back and certainly sounded louder! Would work fine on an Enya with a pickup.

@richardsnow7299 23 дня назад

Thanks Barry I like these reviews

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Very welcome

@stephenilett4043 23 дня назад

Thanks. Would love to see a few more of such reviews. There are several ukuleles nowadays with pickups, I have one, yet I am ignorant of amps and how to use them with different types of ukulele, so these reviews are useful.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

There are a handful on the reviews section on my site - maybe a couple more to come too!

@wylancslass 23 дня назад

What a crackin' little Amp! The software seems to be a lot of fun! Thanks Baz!

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Hours of fun!

@grantbrown67 17 дней назад

That’s it Baz you have sold me got one ordered

@grantbrown67 17 дней назад

Be nice to play my Rob Colin’s tenor ukulele through it

@ROCKINGMAN 23 дня назад

That was a very good review. I agree with what you said, that maybe some time back small amps were tinny and weak, just for practising. But this has some character to it, plus the addition of computer tech to enable backing playback or for your instrument or as a speaker, plus apps to give a wide variety of sounds and a fuller sound. Would appeal to many I guess.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yep - I need to get into the modern world!

@veronicagrillo6695 23 дня назад

Bravo

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Thanks!

@faithoverfear70 23 дня назад

great review- here is a small tip- it's a great little amp- but ... if for some reason - you get a high pitched squeal- ( more like an air raid sound) - you will not be able to turn it off- do not beat it with a hammer- it will make it stop- but not in a good way.lol if this happens , press and hold down power button for 20 seconds and it should shut off ( if not then use the hammer- spark did send me a brand new one after that - but said i should have tried the reset. )

@GotAUkulele 4 дня назад

Thanks for the tip!

@kitwells2077 23 дня назад

Got one. Love it! All the 'extras' a bit confusing but, hey, it works a treat.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Lots to meddle with!

@hazelpurls 23 дня назад

Endless fun with that I think! So nice to be able to experiment without having to buy peddles :-) I don't currently have an electric but now I have a much better idea what to look for in an amp when I do take that step. Thank you!

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Have fun!

@pixpusher 23 дня назад

Fun!!

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yep!

@jimb1138 22 дня назад

Aww, fun! Just when i thought i had everything i needed, you had to show us this. Small and noisy, just like my youngest. Pity none of my kids come with an app for ultimate control though...

@jimb1138 22 дня назад

And a thought about Bluetooth headphones. An Airfly would probably work to connect headphones to it.

@GotAUkulele 22 дня назад

True - but would have been nicer for it to be native

@mroli74 23 дня назад

I have 3 in my family 😂 2 for the kids to use on electric guitars as they learn and 1 for me doing a bit of Uke and a bit of guitar. Brilliant for sheer portability and bedroom practice. Also you can play songs through it and play along. If youre really worried about software support you could just make aure you amend the presets to what you need and they'll presumably always be there. I use it as a bluetooth speaker as well.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yep - find four distinct setups you like and store them. Should always stay in the device then

@JonHancockUK 21 день назад

Cute design. It looks like a plush toy of itself.

@GotAUkulele 20 дней назад

Ha ha - yes!!

@fbales 23 дня назад

At that price, gotta try it!

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Oh for sure - i'm keeping this one!

@Haroythere 23 дня назад

Funnily enough I got the Spark Go to accompany my first guitar (electric) the Blackstar Carry On you reviewed- Neat little thing so thanks for putting that on my radar. Alongside the cable lead, I also opted for a plug in wireless transmitter and receiver. While not as clear as a line, great for walking around without worrying.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Good idea!

@cecicestmoi 21 день назад

i bought mine in white and its a stunner to boot.

@james_aldred 24 дня назад

Best practice amp I've ever had endless fun and worth every penny

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

I've had a LOT of amps - wouldn't say best - certainly in the best category for size though!

@faethe000 23 дня назад

I like the software. I like the sound. I don't like using it because the guitar cable pushes it all over the place and off the table or wherever I have it.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yes it does - though i've been since told the ribs on the back are designed for laying it flat and they also increase bass response!

@oldcrow6990 23 дня назад

I want one, but I don't even have an electric instrument! 😂

@thepoloking9345 23 дня назад

I have the bigger brother, the Spark Mini, but both use the same app, which has a few very usuable acoustic tones for ukulele (with some tweaks to the various settings). However, my biggest issue is the lack of one of my favorite features when playing guitar with the Spark app - the guitar chords that are generated for any song you can find or even add from you're own library. There are no ukulele settings, like in Choridfy for example, where you can change your instrument so that it displays ukulele chords, only guitar chords. You can still jam along with effects but having the chords scrolling along is a nice feature that I hope they update one day to include ukulele. But, I should add, for baritone ukulele the guitar chords feature is still very useful.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yep - should be an easy update for them

@grahamriceukulele 23 дня назад

thanks for the review, I am really not having a moan but on the spark go website it say that the headphone socket is a "1/8" Headphone/Line Output" having line-out could make a big difference for some, once again thanks for the review

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yes, saw that - edited the written article to reflect that.

@hattster1818 23 дня назад

Moveable bass bellows on the back

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

They look like it - but fixed - apparently they help bass when laid on back

@mcstabba 23 дня назад

I've seen this around the internet for a year or two, I really don't want apps for playing music etc... but I still kind of want this regardless! But it is kind of a bad decision to buy it if you are gonna ignore the online functions I realize. If it had more presets I could justify it. Really cool thing for people that don't mind using apps etc in their playing though, just not for me I suppose.

@GotAUkulele 23 дня назад

Yeah - the 'smart ' stuff needed pointing out. But then, so much stuff is now - and so long as people KNOW it relies on that (mainly) I'm kind of cool with it. I don't think mobile phones are disappearing soon.

@cocorico1976 24 дня назад

@StevenDoyleLuke 24 дня назад

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

@jonneet2126 24 дня назад

I don't have a new model cell phone/device.At 70, I don't intend to get one either. I use an old style flip phone. Yep. It makes phone calls. This amp really has nothing for me.

@EliseVeldt-xc5wl 24 дня назад

The app makes it an instant no for me those smart devices agrevate me more than it should

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

You can use it without, but i do make that point. It's not like they try to make out that you DON'T need the app though - it's a smart device

@anorak211 24 дня назад

Absolutely useless if your uke does not have a pickup!

@GotAUkulele 24 дня назад

Ermmm.. correct. Not sure of the point you are making? It's literally a product for people with ukes they can amplify. That's like me reviewing a ukulele case but saying it's 'useless' because you play a Tuba.

@LorraineKenna 24 дня назад

Get a peizo pick-up and stick it on your uke. Sorted.
