POSITIVE GRID SPARK MINI - Metal 

Thanks for watching!

You can play Wonderwall at campfire with any acustic guitar, but with this little beast you can play Raining Blood at campfire 🤘

You can’t be upset if your a beginner and got this . I do think it’s a great produce to help a new player and actually get them to keep interested and learn . Pretty cool 👍

Finally a famous RU-vidr presenting this amp using a room mic. Not like some other famous RU-vidrs who use the line in thus giving a FALSE impression how this amp really sounds like

I'm so happy you are finally reviewing this. I'm not gonna lie, ever since I bought a Spark 40 I have been secretly waiting for you to create a dimebag tone and upload it to the cloud. I can't get it right to save my life.

I just bought a full size spark and am loving it, really great for the price

As a commentary, I think the extras are not only amps that come with the AMP, I think it comes with a bunch of Jimi Hendrix songs and tones associated with them along with the full tabs. So the device can do the auto switching of tones during the song in order to play the full song if it has guitar changes. It's perhaps worth to look at it a bit more in-detail ;)

Wow. I have Nux mighty lite and I love driving around and practising outside all the time, I need this. Thankyou for the video man.

I am a truck driver and after seeing your videos, I have bought a SPARK 40, but my APU on my truck won't power the amp with the AC on. I am thinking about giving my wife the 40,and buying the MINI for the truck. Your videos are the best and it's great to see someone keeping DIMEBAG ON EVERYBODY'S MIND "GETCHA-A-PULL"

As a long time acoustic guitar player, who wants to get into playing more of what electric guitars can do with effect. This seems like a great starting tool. It allows me to get my feet into the world of effects a pedals without spending a lot more money. Seems like the ultimate learning tool for a beginner or me a 31 year old noob lol!

I picked up one of these out of curiosity and it's fantastic for teaching and traveling. I threw it in my suitcase this summer while on tour for a hotel practice amp and it's fantastic for that. I can hook up my phone or laptop and with some headphones I can practice, transcribe, and write with just a tiny little package. Also, I teach in a lot of different places so it's nice to have something tiny I can carry around and not have to deal with plugging in. It's an excellent "on the go" utility amp with some great tones. Rehearse or gig with it? No, it's not loud enough, but for everything else it's perfect.

The best Edition of all. Kkkk thank you Ola!!!

Waiting for my mini to ship. Already have the spark 40 and love it, mini is going to be my new office amp and backyard portable. Ola, you skipped one of the best features, the SoundCloud. It lets you search thousands of different sound setups that users in the community have created and shared. I’ve been really impressed with how close I can get to specific voicings when I’m chasing a particular song’s sound. It really is impressive, and is ultimately the reason why I play my spark more than any of my other amps. Oh, and this little beast also doubles as an audio interface too, so you can DI in off it, which is super awesome for a practice amp.

Another great and honest review by Ola! Keep up the good work.

as an oldhead that picked up guitar late in life and also doesn't have a dedicated space that I can play without disturbing the whole house (and frankly not very good anyway) I'm seriously lookin at one of these because of the battery so I can take it to the porch or the barn and play without disturbing the fam. I know ~just~ enough to be able to teach myself and this seems like a great little tool for this purpose. hopefully it will also entice my college age boys back into playing a bit as well. keep up the good work on your channel, really enjoy the content.

Always entertaining Ola! I want 1 of these amps big time!

Just discovered the haunted because of this video. Bad ass vocals/instrumental.

Pretty great sounding little amp. I bought a Spark over a year ago. I think i have about 10 hours on it (apt). Most mileage lately from a first gen MicroCube. 3 watts on years old batteries . Sounds awesome. The rest, head phones.

Just excellent Sir. I really enjoyed it. Now I want the 40 watt one. I've heard it comes with all the fixings.

I have now adopted Ola's pronunciation of "Meenee", life is good.

It sounds pretty good for a "battery" style amp I live on the East Coast and I can picture people down at the shore on the Boardwalk using this for playing Electric guitar which is awesome!!! 🎸

I agree on the purchasing upgrades. I did however purchase the Jimmy pack and there are some great high gain metal amps on it that you would probably love.

I love my Spark 40, but this would be a nice addition.. thanks Ola.

That tone sounds badass love it nice video ola

I have a Spark 40 and I love it. It's not the "big sound" of a pair of 12's but it's actually one of the best learning tools on the market for a guitar/bass play (I am learning both) It has so much capability I am surprised it's not expensive.

I have the big spark and I love it

brooooo, this would have got me through my first 10 years of practice playing and recording for fun really easy

I love this channel. I crank Feared immediately after I drop my kid off at preschool every day recently.

I mean… Who doesn’t use a Mesa Boogie MKV for a camera stand. So metal.

I got one of these. Honestly its an awesome sounding plug and play. I wish I had these 10 years ago. It sounds great, has a ton of features. Its battery powered which is awesome. And for tones, some great tones too. I love the Engl tone and the Plini stuff. Just sweet. And having a few go to presets is nice. Engl Ola Rythm, Plini, Plini Solo, Clean prog. Booom, all I need.

I love my Spark 40, It’s brilliant.

great review Ola, your mic'ing is good BTW, as it translates the boxy sounding nature of small practice/learning amps when pushed.

Damn dude… that little cube ROCKS!

Always cool to watch your demos .. ;)

Loving The Drapery Falls at the beginning, there ;)

Dude I ordered mine and then got a wonderful message saying I'm not getting it till UFCKIN JUNE! Fml!! I wanted to review this before you!!!!!!.... one day Ola... one day...

I use the full size Spark at home, and no complaints! Just have to EQ it accordingly and use the App. 🎸

master of the chug, mr ola englund i got this amp thanks to you

I love my Spark amp. Sounds good & fun to play along with cover songs. I street musician’s dream set up.

I have a full size spark to use when i can't get to my tube amps. I really like it. Took a chance and it sounds much better than expected

I have the original P.Grid and I love it! As a beginner player it saved me ton of money on effects etc..

OMG finally!!!!

Spark 40 was decent for low volume practice. This one adds the portability to make it killer for traveling practices, practicing to clicks/drums, on the road, warming up etc. 8 hour battery life alone made me order it. Tonally its not the best but the response and articulation is very good. For what it is- a helpful portable tool that doesn't require power or pedals to plug in- not much like it out there with all the possibilities it offers.

Spent more than a month in a hotel room with this amp and a local second hand ibanez i got for 80$. that's the real deal. this thing is LIGHT and LOUD! I love it. my tube amp hates me now too.

Wow! Nice video. Very impressive ‼️😎🔥

After selecting an amp, you close the selection window by clicking the word amp or the down arrow next to it. Same for selecting effects pedals.

*Great work with the demo! I’m looking forward to buying a compact decent modeling amp. ⚔️🛡️ Something I could plug strain into my mixer for silent recording with my guitar.*

wow i gotta say thats really fn awesome, it sures beats packing 3 pedals and a 15 watt amp with ur guitar or sacrificing tone and bring a micro stack camping.. this changes the game

Hi Ola. Great review on the Spark Mini. You did overlook one of its biggest features however. If offers access to what it calls the cloud. You’ll see a icon of a mini cloud on the upper right hand side of the Spark App. Inside that cloud they claim there are over ten thousand pre programmed tone packages. I did a quick check after your review and found fifty one different Pantera tones. Some referred to specific songs “Walk” etc. some were programmed just to Dime or Dime solo. Some of these tones on the cloud are made and posted by owners you could make and post a Haunted tone if you wanted. Some are Positive Grid (most) presets. As for the Hendrix thing they had to enter into a license agreement with the Hendrix estate on a per user bases in order to get access to Jimmy’s catalog, image and sounds with his name. They have had other upgrades in the past and assured users the Hendrix deal was a one of. Future upgrades will again be free to all. Check out the tone cloud and maybe review if it’s a good collection and maybe even leave us a package or two. Keep up the great work. I’m a big fan and felt compelled to point out your oversight. Thanks.

I live on the Jersey shore. This is great for me to take to the boardwalk with my solar 1.6 BLB and rip on a beautiful day. I’m sure u can play backing tracks while u rip on this thing.

The intro was really funny! I love the wackiness and humour. As well as the good reviews.

Truly if all these videos show anything its that if you get a real mic in a decently treated room on anything you can get some good tones.

Thanks for your work. Want this one now 😆

This thing is amazing.

I agree, Ola. You pay a good amount of money for a product of this caliber, you don't expect to have to spend more money like a subscription based service. I suppose that's where everything is going. Thanks for a great demo!

This sounds pretty great tbh

Man, I watched Your review of the smaller version the "Go" before this review and I thought it was just a waste money. A toy. Maybe I was too harsh? This one sounds great and now I understand that the Go has.the same software and WAY more features than I realized. It would make a great recording interface that also sounds pretty decent. This review represents the product better.

Sounds awesome brother 😊

Ooooh yeeeah! 🤘

I own a Fractal FM3, 5150 combo (original), and a Marshall SLP. I did own a Spark 40 I sold it because I went down the Fractal rabithole. I'd buy another SPark in a second due to its plug-and-play versatility, build quality, and overall sound. I'll prob buy this Mini. I can play it in the living room just to noodle around with.

What?! Never tried the Spark 40? WTF It's a Beast !

I have the original Spark and it sounds ok. I use it as a Bluetooth speaker to play jam tracks while I play through my Marshall.

Sounds better than the new Katana, the way Ola's capturing it here.

I just revisited this video because I need a small living room amp while I’m renovating my home studio and even though I would probably get the 40, I figured if Ola liked this one then the 40 would be ok. It’s either this or a fender lt40s which is a similar size.

I have an order in. Now just waiting.

That Mimi amp sounds awesome Ola maybe you can use it to play live lol

Good Luck getting any help from Positive Grid Customer support. Mine became a brick after a month and PG was totally unresponsive. what a waste of $$

I love my Spark Me-Knee!!

This is pretty rad imo.

Awesome video

I have a Spark and find myself using it more than my tube amps. The built in interface is just amazing.

You can search for tones that others have made which is a great feature.

Trust me, get a Marshall Kilburn ii + a fender mustang micro. It’s the ultimate on the go setup. It does what the spark mini wishes it could. This is not new tech.. there are many other bt speaker/amp combos . But instead of letting you pick the effects with buttons like the mustang micro you are forced to use the app to change effects.. which seems like a major PITA. and some amps / effects are considered “expansion packs” and cost upwards of $20 each to unlock. If you don’t have a lot of money this is decent, but I highly recommend a mustang micro paired with a Kilburn ii or stockwell ii .. more options, fewer pay walls, you still get line out, and 20h battery life vs 6h. Not to mention the Marshall is simply a higher quality, better built and more powerful speaker.

Can't wait till mine ships out

Holy crap! Sure does chug! 🤘

You can get that add-on pack for the big one, too. So, 12 more amps, with some actual control over them (you've got more controls on the full-sized version), I think it works.

🤘 Team No Sleep here Woohoo!!!

For such a little size it sounds damn good ! ...

You can use a electro harmonix magnum 44 power amp pedal. Use a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch cable. Run it into a 4x12 cab.

Awesome combo o.0 ! I wonder when it will be available in Poland

9:06 when he drops the pick and it plays part of the sound “when you die” in classic Mario. GOLD 😂

Now, we need to have Positive Grid do the same thing as Blackstar with that lil 3watt amp as it comes a stereo package, ext speaker to get actual wide stereo sound. This little amp would be perfect with just an ext cab to match for true wide stereo sound. Bam!

Ola! Slave it with your dual rectalfier into the oversized mesa cab!

I've got a Mustang V v2 and a Mustang I v2, and I'm pretty happy with them, but Bluetooth+app would be nice. Fender doesn't even support these amps with that Fuse software anymore (which I never even tried, since I use Linux). This tiny little amp would be perfect for my kid and his Squier Mini Jazzmaster FSR, but he'll be taking the Mustang I from me since I own it already. I am kinda excited to think of what amps will be capable of if/when the time comes for an upgrade, although I was considering a tube head... If I could find a vintage Traynor that'd be awesome, but I also like the Kraken... Decisions, decisions! (Also money...)

Greatness

Funny watching him figure it all out. 😄

Awesome review as usual! Always fun to watch your videos. Is there a direct out to mixer? I’m thinking of if I get lazy to bring out my pedal board I will just carry this on stage instead. 😂

Классный усилок Возьму наверное

When testing out the different amps, I'm worried that having the comp/wah pedal on was altering the tone of the amps and giving it a cocked sound. But the preset tones sounded pretty good.

I ordered this as a brand new guitar player. Figured it would work well playing in my truck on the road. Now the guitar just needs to get here lol.

Pretty kewl 😎

What is up ? Love ya man .

2:05 The Drapery Falls sounds good 🥸

If they bring out new amps/pedals to buy, I hope they will have a Tom Scholz/Rockman/Boston package one day. That's one I would definitely buy as it is such an unique tone. Anything else I guess I can dial in pretty easy myself with all the amps and pedals that there are already in the software. Maybe an autowah would be cool. Even so there is a Com/Wah section there are no Wah pedals included - only several compressor pedals. I guess they will also appear in the packages you have to pay for (maybe there is already on in the Hendrix package).

These types of amps may not be the "end all be all" of amps, but they're a great first or second amp which allows someone to get a feel for what type of bigger amp and pedals to save up for.

They do in fact do free updates with new pedals and amps. Or at least they have done one or two so far. They added a Dumble on one. They are pretty cool practice amps. I am having problems getting it to play music via bluetooth and getting the interface to work though.

Reminds me of when Roland was making those cube amps back in the day. I remember I had the Roland cube 60 when I was young and I thought it was the coolest ever lol

Pre ordered mine on day one, won't be here til June... But I am excited to try it out since I'm needing a practice amp that's gonna be a wireless setup :)

Ive been saying this for a while but with the technology they can build into portable Bluetooth speakers for music, theres no reason they can make more micro guitar amps that dont just sound sh#tty. For the longest time, all we had was the Blackstar Fly 3 and then the Katana Mini. Its time we get some real amps in the micro catagory!

thats badass
