Recreating 5 Popular Metal Guitar Tones with SPARK (Positive Grid) 

No Metallica tones?, They are Great!

Could you dial in a juicy djenty tone like Periphery, Born of Osiris and Within the Ruins, wth this amp?

I think I'm actually gonna pre order one. its a great Price

Hey brother , Great job !!! 👍🤘How about so *Testament* - "Dark Roots of the Earth" and/or "Born in a Rut" ... *Megadeth* "Rust in Peace" album ... And *Lamb of God* "Overlord" ... Any or All would be Sweet !!! Thanks & Merry Christmas !!! 🎄🎸🎼🤘🤘🤘🤙

@@aidanbouw5224 Hell yes brother !!! I'm with you on that too ... 🤘🎸🎼🤙

Yes. I have one on order, should arrive @ 1st of Oct.

@@waynecribb4922 hows the spark amp?

@@kazzTrismus It is everything that the reviews say it is. I haven't used it as much as I want too. I've been very busy with work . Thankfully I have changed jobs and hope to use it more.

They added an EQ so now you can basically turn any amp into anything you want. Literally use a high gain Vox-styled amp for my 8 string tones.

​@@wingsoficarus1139 isnt this EQUALS to bias FX?

Maybe...

He uses his fingers

I love the Spark40 man it sounds so good!

@@jmlepunk Thanks for reminding me of a minor grammar mistake made by a cellphone using autocorrect on a one year old comment, I really appreciate it.

@@mosh-riff yeah man no worries

Yeah we need some covers !!

Slayer’s tone wasn’t scooped in a slightlest

@@russianconservative alot of them is even boosted

In the mid 90s I read a Kerry King interview where he said he doesn't scoop anything, he boosts mids and minimizes bass and treble. If you try it on a Boss MT-2 it should sound really close

what song is he playing?

@@forrestshrimp9716 Dream Theater- The Dark Eternal Night

me too, couldnt find any videos on it except theirs and it was all marketing fluff with no real sound clips

now of course, id love to hear you setup a rhythmn tone for them, considering playing in F# F# B E G# C# is a challenge when building a tone for it

@@adamkahn8645 most important thing when going for architects rhythm tones is the fredman micing setup. use 2 impulses one on axis the other off axis and a mesa cab evh 5150 sim then youre good to go. thats for the all our gods sound at least

@@3101max that would be the tone i was shooting to capture, but more specifically "A Match Made In Heaven" and "Doomsday" from Holy Hell. With their tuning being down in F#, I use my 27" scale Ibanez RG970XL 6 string, equipped with dual Lundgren Black Heaven pickups running into a Tube Screamer (for tone shaping, tightening the low freqs up) then into the amp. It took me quite a while to really dial in precisely the tone Tom used, so I was interested to see how close I got compared to a professional trying the same thing. I focused mainly on MMIH, because thats my favorite tone from them, and it works perfectly with Doomsday as well. I also tried the same setup but used Bareknuckle Aftermaths which sucked donkeys, and the same thing with the Dimarzio Titan (Jake Bowen's sig pickups). The Fishman Fluences nailed that shit perfectly, but I prefer the dynamics of passive pickups. Using your volume knob with active pickups just doesnt work right in my opinion, though the Fluence had the best dynamics of all the actives ive played, but not enough to swing me. I literally dont have to setup seperate presets for my lead and "crunchy" tone; i set my volume knob on the guitar at about 7-8/10, and setup my rhythm tone. When it comes time for leads, i just roll my volume all the way up.

@@adamkahn8645 yeah pickups actually play a massive role when you want to "copy" tone. i use the juggernauts in a jackson juggernaut and its perfect. cant really seem to get the tone from holy hell tho as josh and nolly used kempers for that album so i dont really know what profiles they used.

Thank you!

Sadly they changed it. It's called arctic dream. Now it basically looks black with purple and green hints. Was so pissed I returned mine.

Did you ever get it?

Metaalllllll!

@@NikNocturnal More metal!🎸

Curious to know as well?

but not for Behemoth

@@richmit7154 true

Please my friend, what song does it play from Behemoth ?

I've had mine for about 2 weeks now. You can build, find via the cloud, and save presets for easy access. I have all my favorite tones stored in my METAL folder. You can switch between them with your phone or pad while you're playing (there is a slight latency though) - which is fine for playing around, but less than ideal for performing. I haven't heard of any sort of a foot-switch, but that would be amazing. For like $240 I think it's a great deal for practicing and laying down some demos, but guess you could use it as a preamp/effects loop for live playing maybe? Hope theres something helpful in there- have a good one \m/

I don't use Drop A or B Standard very often is all, so can't bring it out often

If I wanted to use headphones, I'd use Guitar Rig and get better tones.

The Northman Riff It’s all the same really. Isn’t it?

Does it sound good playing metal?

Hell to the yes it sure does. Don't think anybody will be disappointed with the amp.

slav tone ok Behemoth :D

Serbians and Russians are different reeeeeeeeee

@@gregdjentyguy9986 both slavic roots

Next time

Nik Nocturnal we wanna see your top 10 riffs that inspired you to pick up a guitar

From what I've seen, EQ and cab emulation are the only things missing on the Spark compared to BIAS itself. Could be wrong though.

Absolutely. The quality of pickups and guitar make definitely has an effect on your tone.

Right I’m beginning to get impatient now

ordered mine last week....I have an eternity to wait... mid Jun-Jul ship I'm gonna go bananas waiting for it

@@chriss9340 there are people who bought it on November and still havent received it. I wouldn't even hope to receive it by 2020 if I bought last week.

@@juanmanuelcorrea7673 bummer man delivers

@@chriss9340 It is a bummer. I really wanted this amp. I might get it when they're widely available, and if it hits Amazon. For now I'm thinking about buying the Boss katana 50.
