Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Guitar Amp, Headphone Amp & Bluetooth Speaker with Smart App for Electric Guitar, Acoustic or Bass – Pearl

I picked the Spark Go up on sale recently and I'm really glad I did. I already owned the Spark Mini and knew the quality that was built in so I didn't even think twice. Both are bedroom amps playing different guitar setups (a Strat on the Mini and an Epi SG on the Go). Others have said it and it bears repeating that it plays much bigger than it looks. The tone a bit deeper than the Mini with more bass present (the Mini carries more mid-range by the default settings in my opinion). For the money, this is a high value and high-quality small amp that holds its own. It also takes pedals well as I have a Boss SY-1 and a EHXtortion in front of it. If you are on the fence about purchasing the Spark Go, I say 'Go for It'! Note that I don't talk about the app because I don't really use it, I'm fine with the default presets.

This is a 6-7 month review. Let me begin by saying I have put this amp through it's paces and it STILL delivers probably the best sound, amp per amp lol, than ANY and I mean ANY other micro amp in it's category. It has thousands of settings and combination of settings and amp emulations that can range from sparkling cleans to death metal. If I was to suggest an amp to a beginner or pro show needs a travel companion, THIS IS THE ONE. The price is affordable, thankfully, and it's small enough to fit in almost every guitar case. Rechargeable, easy to set and forget, and has a tuner. If you need a review to make a choice, trust this random Amazon review and I'm sure lots of other reviews. THIS MICRO SPARK ROCKS! Literally!

This pocket-sized guitar amp is seriously, ridiculously good for the money. I've owned a number of amps including modeling amps, tube amps, solid state, etc. It can take a lot of tinkering to get the sound out of them that you want. I mostly want a nice clean sound without too much reverb or a hard driven fuzzy sound like that of Clapton when strumming in overdrive. Let's start with the sound output: It's *really* good for its size. No audible distortion even when the volume is at max and some of the drive pedals push it beyond its normal volume. Great bass, too. Modeling abilities: Infinitely customizable. The community is also enormous. So many people have contributed great amp/pedal combos so that you do not have to start from scratch. Just find one that's close to what you want and modify from there. The preset buttons are awesome, too. Bluetooth: This thing works as both a BLE device and bluetooth audio device, and has separate hardware output volume controls for EACH. That's so, so good. You can play built-in backing tracks, AI backing tracks, or your own music and control the volume directly on the speaker alongside your volume knob for the guitar itself. Wants? Ideally, I'd love a dedicated button to toggle overdrive and clean (or any two pedal configurations of your choice). I suppose that you could do this with the hardware presets, but then you'd have to occupy all 4 of them with 2 different models in order to reliably switch back and forth at the touch of a button. For reference, I'm playing on a well-set-up Fender American Professional II Stratocaster. It's rare to see such a small amp do such an expensive guitar justice, but I am immensely surprised. This is my new go-to practice amp for my office.

Great practice amp. I also have the Mini, and even though the mini is portable, the go just takes things to the next level. Sounds good and just a joy to carry around and put it in the gigbag or moving it around the house to play. Totally recommended.

Makes you sound like the rig real artists use, but in your living room without bothering neighbors. Believe the hype. This is the best guitar accessory you can get for the price. The app has all the gear you could wish for and the ability for search for tracks in YouTube, and have the chords extracted makes it easy to play along and solo. Battery is fairly decent for regular practice.

Just to flex my street cred (kidding), I've played guitar for 25 years and have several amps ranging from tubed half stacks to smaller, lo-watt combos, to a couple other battery powered amps because they're fun to play even after the neighbors go to bed. This is my first experience with a Positive Grid product and so far the impressions are good. I purchased the Spark Go to dip my toe into the world of Spark. The price is really good for what you get. At it's core, the device itself is essentially a bluetooth speaker with a quarter-inch input and 4 memory banks for configurations saved in the app. The app is where the real power is. It's fun to play around with the pedal settings and dial in a sound worthy of the 4 memory slots. I'm still trying to decide. You could theoretically use this without the app, but half the fun is configuring the sounds that make you want to practice and ultimately not have to use the app so much once it's all set up. The UX of the app is pretty okay. Lots of skeuomorphic elements that fans of GarageBand will find familiar. The sound is decent, especially for drives, modulation and delays. Reverb is laughable and barely audible through this speaker. It feels solid and a lovely little piece of kit. I wish there was a drummer built in, but bluetooth makes it easy to stream drumming backing tracks. Time will tell how this amp works down the road. Who knows if they stop supporting the app / device down the road and we all have fancy door-stops. But hopefully this is something... disruptive to an industry that will not be disrupted. The Spark makes it easy to get going and makes practicing more accessible. I'm still messing with the settings more than I'm playing the guitar, but i'll find my stride soon-enough. I would recommend buying this for any guitarist that's half-way tech savvy.

Realmente muy útil para practicar, aún que el sonido no es tan nítido, para el tamaño que tiene suena muy bien y con un volumen alto, tiene buena potencia y lo que destaca son todos los efectos que se pueden utilizar gracias a la app. Pros: tamaño discreto y uso de múltiples efectos, buena duración de la batería (llevo una semana sin recargarlo con prácticas diarias de una hora), buena potencia en comparación con el tamaño. Completamente recomendable en relación calidad/precio. Cons: aún que tiene función de bluetooth, no se puede utilizar como bocina para la música desde las apps como spotyfi, tienes que utilizarla desde la app de spark, el sonido no es tan nítido (sin embargo se entiende en relación o tamaña)

I use it with a blues harmonica, and it exceeded all my expectations. I can only recommend it!

Suono top! E non solo amplificatore.. Partiamo dalla cosa principale, ovvero come suona. Bene, molto bene, si possono salvare quattro preset rapidi, ma tramite l'app se ne possono creare molti di più scegliendo svariati amplificatori, distorsori, delay, rev e fx. Il suono è molto convincente e nonostante la dimensione piccola dello spark go, il volume non è niente male. Inoltre sempre tramite app si può accedere a youtube e suonare sopra i brani che vogliamo, e con gli accordi trascritti sotto! Possiamo anche suonare su delle basi niente male presenti all’interno. La batteria dura tanto, e il design è solido. Che dire, suono da tanti anni e questo ‘’ampli’’ è perfetto per studiare quando non si ha voglia di andare al computer, o quando si è in giro, plug and play. Proverò anche a collegare l’uscita cuffie ad un mixer, credo che non sfiguri assolutamente. Ergo, acquisto azzeccato!

Vraiment le meilleur truc que j'ai jamais eu de ma vie. On peut jouer partout quand on veut. Très léger, petit on peut même le mettre dans sa poche. On peut l'utiliser en tant qu'une simple enceinte ordinaire. Mais c'est un véritable ampli connecter avec sur batterie et qui dure longtemps. Sur l'application il y a plein d'effets. Clairement pour le prix c'est extrêmement correct. Avec un ampli classique où on voudrait y ajouter des effets ça aurait clairement coûter plus cher (Et ça aurait pris une place pas possible chez soi). Alors que là on a tout dans une seule enceinte. Accompagné d'un son de très bonne qualité. Moi qui aime bien jouer 10min par-ci par-là de temps en temps tout au long de la journée. Vu que c'est sur batterie et que les effets sont déjà dedans. Pas besoin de faire d'installation ou de branchement à chaque fois et de tout ranger 10 minutes après. (Si vous êtes comme moi c'est si je vous faut mdrr) Qualitatif, simple et efficace !!! C'est exactement ce que je recherchais Sans parler du design de l'ampli, qui est vraiment super jolie et les matières sont agréables et m'ont l'air de durée dans le temps (Il fournissent 2 pièces supplémentaires pour modifier le look à notre goût). Extrêmement ravi je recommande à 1000%

The wow factor of this is the amp and effects unit. It does what it's supposed to, which is make your guitar sound fantastic. The phone app is easy to use and includes a nice tuner feature as well as a massive selection of effects. The sound through headphones is incredible and it's really a perfect headphone practice box, though it does have a decent speaker. Spark will tell you all about the AI features, and the ability to play backing tracks, and that works well, but we wary ... some of the features come with an extra cost. The audio reproduction from this tiny amp+speaker is very good. Volume is great for the size and the quality is decent. It's not directly comparable to an Apple speaker or similar as it's not attempting 3D sound - it's just a good mono speaker. I've had a few devices like this, and none of them sounded as good, either through headphones, on built-in speaker, or into a power-amp. Setup is easy, though the setup guide is poorly presented. It comes with two face plates so you can have fabric look or black, and a choice of straps. Everything feels rugged, solid and robust, no loose plastic or cheap controls. The base is rubberized to stay put and damp any rattles from sitting on a desk or floor. If I have one tiny complaint, it's that it can be a little slow to negotiate a bluetooth connection, and you have to manually make the phone-app reconnect each time you power the unit on. Other than that, it punches way above its weight and easily knocks out the "usual" competitors. Spark are the boss of the phone-app-driven amp segment right now. I've heard the Spark 2 and that encouraged me to buy this with confidence. Obviously, these things don't sound quite like a big cabinet plus a high-end valve amp, but they are eerily good for the size and money.
