Some tips: update firmware, delete default patches, go to Spark app settings as select your pickup type: low or high output (this will make the crackling noise go away). To get more vol on clean use a sustainer (or also an EQ as you mentioned).
I run it into the effects loop return when using it with an amp. Also it works great into an IR loader - takes it to another level to shape the tones with different IRs.
I just got mine yesterday and it’s awesome. This is hands down the greatest gift you can get a guitar player under $$100. It’s on sale for holidays. Im thinking of getting my little brother one.
Before I found out about this, I bought the Fender Mustang Micro to use with my Traveller guitar when travelling by plane. But I'm tempted to also get this since there is an external speaker if I don't want to use headphones and its much smaller than my Yamaha THR 10 that I use as desktop practice amp. We are in the age where we can bring our guitar and all our practice gear as a carry on.
I have both Spark Go and Mini. The Mini sounds better and the size is pretty small. I think I'll only bring the Go if I really need to travel light. Now I can alternate between either one. They're both good
Tuner works great. I still can't load my own backing tracks in yet as I have to use the phones playback for that. I updated the firmware to day as I only had it two days. Its fixed a lot of bugs am pleased to say.
Thank you for this very inspiring demonstration, which more than meets my expectations. Indeed, I didn't think it could be connected to a tube amp. However, I'll leave you with a thought. Isn't there a risk of damaging the Spark Go or the amp if you use an adapter for the 1/8" jack cable?
That's what I thought. I read the opposite on a forum dedicated to the Spark Go. However, it might be a good idea to change the device settings to mono for the headphone output if you're connecting it to an external mono tube amp.
What wireless system under $100 do you recommend to practice at home that would work well for electro-acoustic guitar, ukelele and electric guitar? Thanks
These are quite decent for the price JOYO 2.4GHz Wireless Guitar System 4 Channels Rechargeable Audio Wireless Transmitter Receiver for Guitar Bass Electric Instruments (JW-03) a.co/d/1VT1JE1
How do you use it as just a bluetooth speaker when i activate spotify through the app it plays through my Iphone not the speaker or any of jam along features for that matter. except for the guitar sound of course. if you go USB to a computer will DAWs see it like Protools and Logic Pro ?
This amp keeps me practicing, but the tones are rough , I've got a few down that don't icepick .I'm pretty sure the tones sound better on the larger spark 40 . But you are very , very limited on effects and placement of the effects . Plugging into a stereo or an actual amp helps with the thin sound the go puts out . I keep telling myself it's tiny and very affordable. BD Bryan's patches are really good on this !
If I used something like that to practice, I think I'd go for the version that's a bit bigger. Just for the speaker size other than that I'd say it's a nice practice amp.
I have a THR 10x for aux use of Go. Does mini make sense then? Current purpose in just have motivation to play at home/room due to portability and features. don't play live. Occasional with friends. Have aux speakers where i play with friends@@boechlerguitarsandrepair
I tried doing this by connecting the spark go to my fender blues deluxe. I’m getting a-lot of hissing. Using th noise gate app is useless. Too bad i wanted to use the possibility of having all diffrent pedals from the app but it does not sound good when you hook it up to you cab.
If i had the Go and the Spark 40 ¿Would I need an application installed in my tablet for each one of them? Or they share it. Then; ¿Only one of the Sparks can be turned on at a time? Thanks PS: I would ask you to make a video of how the Sparks can be used in a live gig environment with the app?.
They share the app, you would pick on the app which amp you want to connect to. The app would only be able to connect to one at a time, if you wanted to use both at the same time you would need two devices both with the app. I'll consider making a vid for that, thanks
When u use earphones u using with bluetooth? I see no cable. Dont you get a big delay when using with bluetooth? Or how Else are u using you earphones when u play???
@@louispatrone8824 yes it works with an acoustic, however the Spark Go isn't very loud so I'm not sure using it with an acoustic would increase your volume louder than the instrument already is. You could use it for the different tone options and for recording though. You could also go with the spark mini or spark 40 for louder options
when rubber gets sticky its the vulcanisation of the rubber breaking down, not sure if it will ever happen to the spark Go, if it does use Isopropynol on a cloth and rub it down.
Trying to use this thing is like trying to get my girlfriend to make a sandwich. "Gosh, I can't do everything!". I didn't ask you to do "everything". I asked you to do one thing: Make me a sandwich.
