Positive Grid Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Guitar Amp, Headphone Amp & Bluetooth Speaker for Electric Guitar, integration with the Spark app

Exactly what I needed. Great little, convenient practice amp, really well made, I've had several 'practice amps' in the past, ranging from £50 1-5w gimmicks (Fender mini, Blackstar fly, Orange crush mini) to £150 25w modeling amps (Marshall code). They are all awful, all sound like cr*p and the more pricey ones (bigger) which sound a little better are a faff, needing mains power, Bluetooth functions are limited and are still a pain in the arse*e to get out of a cupboard and set up before you can play. This is perfect, holds a charge, is pocket sized, truly plug and play, get great guitar tones in seconds and the app is fantastic. If you're like me... who just wants a good sound, at low volumes, that you can set up in seconds for a 30min noodle/practice on the sofa in the evening, then don't look any further. Again the app is great too, a fantastic learning/practice aid. On top of all that...... It has very impressive sound quality when used as a bluetooth speaker and plenty loud enough for a lounge or barbecue with 12 people talking and having drinks. I very nearly went for a GP5, but by the time you buy a decent little speaker, battery pack so you're not chained to a wall, you're in the same money.... And again it's all a faff to set all that up. This does everything that a GP5 does and more, and is far more convenient, well worth the extra £25 I would highly recommend! If you didn't already realise 😜

These little amps are expensive compared to other practice amps, but absolutely worth it. Sound quality and ease of use are great, the app works well, the sound models are pretty varied and all sound good. The battery lasts a good while and it weighs next to nothing - I took this and my donner travel guitar round the US and Canada, with this inside the donner case - and it was great for practicing inside hotel rooms. Can run the line in, the metronome, and backing track all at once. Also great when used as a BT speaker. I’ll be buying more PG amps based on the experience I’ve had with this one.

As someone who started playing the guitar a long time ago this little amp has amazed me. It's not much bigger than your phone but is loud enough for home practice and is very portable. Where it really comes into its own is with the app which gives a whole range of different amp sounds. That in itself is great but what makes it even better is the tone cloud where users have submitted presets. What this means is if you want to play a particular song you can search for the tone and there are usually a good number to choose from to sound like the song you want - no twiddling with knobs or extra pedals, just a couple of clicks. Great little amp.

Nice little amp, with a surprisingly good sound given it's tiny size. Battery life is decent and charge time isn't too long. It is relatively light and even fits in my guitar case so is handy for practicing when away from home. For under £100 it is good value. Only one frustration and that is bluetooth / iOS app stability. For some reason the app loses connection sometimes, not too often but often enough to be annoying. My older Line6 TT is rock solid on the same bluetooth / iOS device which suggests the issue lies with the Positive Grid app or the Spark itself.

Excellent sound, whether it’s clean or overdriven tone. So many different amps and pedals built in, all easy to adjust. Battery lasts ages even when playing at high volume. Very loud for its size. If you’re worried about it being quiet when on the clean channel there’s a clean boost you can use which pumps up the volume plenty without causing breakup. Plus you can use an AUX cable to connect it to bigger speakers. Great amp, you will not be dissapointed.

It's very small but the sound is very big and it is a breeze to use. There are limitations- you have no control over the 4 presets unless connected via Bluetooth to the Spark App on a tablet or mobile phone. I connected to both with no trouble at all and the app gives easy access to a huge range of presets, control over individual presets and many other services online. The quality of individual patches is excellent and distorted amp patches respond well to backing off guitar volume and tone controls. The internal power amp is pretty loud and for practice you wouldn't need anything else. For ultimate sound quality a set of quality over-ear headphones or a stereo power amp set up is a must. I have just been running mine into a power amp through separate modulation and reverb/delay units and the result was awesome. It would be fiddly, and you would need a good monitoring set up, but you could gig with this. I can't comment on battery life, it lasted 2 hours with plenty to spare and you could carry a power bank around if that was a concern. The hanging loop supplied wasn't much use to me as I use wide straps with strap locks and I figured it would be a pain to get on and off, so I drilled out a small right-angled bracket to suit and attached that with a carabiner and some strong velcro loops so it can be moved easily between guitars or taken off for charging. If you are going to hang it off your strap it is worth investing in a short (30 cm or so) guitar cable. I made one up with right angled jacks, one of the silent variety so no nasty noises if I disconnect without turning it off!

Ive only had this product for less than an hour and Im already blown away by how amazing this is considering both its ridiculous small size and very reasonable price. For anyone starting out playing electric guitar this is a must have. The sound it gives for such a tiny package is really astounding. For my man-cave I had to turn the volume right down! Couple that with the what the app provides in terms of the wide range of various sounds and tones through all the software amps and pedals...it's just plain mental! For learning what each type of pedal does and how it modifies the sound alone is an education in itself, and thats only a small part of what the can do. If you have just started out learning guitar do yourself a favour and forget buying a big expensive and limited amp, buy this instead, you won't regret it.

This is an awesome bit of kit for someone who wants get a bit of amplified practice in anywhere without all the bother of getting your amp etc out. It fits in your guitar case and only requires one short lead and is rechargeable so no power source required either. It is loud enough to easily join in on your electric guitar with people on acoustics or piano. There are four pre-sets ranging from a nice clean sound progressing up to a surprisingly decent crunchy metal sound with good reverb etc. There is also an app that links to the spark where you can adjust these sounds or model your own, personally I think the presets are fine as they are. The app also has a myriad of backing tracks, tutorials etc etc. It is also a really good Bluetooth speaker. Not only that but you can play your guitar at the same time as a tune from your phone so it really sounds as if you are the extra member of your favourite band! There are separate volume controls for the Bluetooth and the guitar so you can get the balance how you want it. For a hundred odd quid I really can’t fault this. If only these were about 40 years ago when I started out.
