New & Improved? Checking Out The Positive Grid Spark 2

I have the original and I can make it loop but it takes the air step and a tech wizard to make it happen so I was happy they added a more functional looper, might have to upgrade!

Not more positive grid shilling fuck me man. Pure advertisment.

As a Spark One owner, this new unit is pretty underwhelming. It still has the outdated Bias FX inspired interface, and the amp models don't sound noticeably better.

Got mine today, 🤗

We need folders to organize sounds. I like creating different sounds for different guitars, would love to label folder by my guitar names. Or by band names if I want to do covers

To me, spark is priced perfect and is the perfect at home guitar amp. I’ve purchased a few to give to friends and family. Love em, and can’t say enough about them.

I want to see if the AI can give me a good 2008 recession core tone

One can not describe the enormous sound of the Spark without being in the room with it, very amazing, I have let a lot players hear mine and they are genuinely impressed once they hear it in person.

Right On Ryan...Time 'IS' Just a Construct!

You get what you pay for.
I have the Spark 1, and have not played through it for a year or more. There is a reason for that.
Nearly every household has a computer so just buy yourself an interface, Reaper and get yourself some free amp sims and IR's for less than half the price with 100% better sound quality.
Fluff says he "Loves the Spark product line", but how often does, or did he do a video on the Spark line...? I reckon I can count on 2 fingers or less.

I can’t give up my tube amps. It sound OK, but nothing beats tubes and once my ears pick up on that digital harshness that most of these amps have, it’s all over.

Not a review. It's an advert.

The original has been my daily amp for the past few years, and I've been using my spark 2 for 3 days now and I must say it sounds much better, especially with heavy distortion, and gritty sounds. Can't speak to much of the software features but for me it was worth the upgrade tone alone

Great demo Mr Riffs! My Spark 2 was delivered on Saturday over here in the UK and I"m working my away around it at the mo. What is amazing is how they've got the spacial effects like delay and reverb to work so effectively and realistically for example, I was playing around with the Ambient presets and the delays on those were so realistic I thought I had an echo in my room. It wasn't, it was that the speakers have been designed and positioned so well that you really can get a full sound out of this small box. Cheers!

Egyszerűen imádom! ❤🎶🎸 Tökéletes! Új lehetőségek tárháza! 🤗

i need one !

Did you have any issues with bluetooth connection being disconnected all the time? Thats what I m having atm with my spark 2. It really sucks. Moreover no support so far from positive grid - that sucks even more.

I use the spark as a BT speaker to play along with, but it's awesome as a little practice amp. The recto model isn't bad, you can shape the tone some with the app.

The better sound, drums, and additional 4 presets are great. Now there is no
need to waste an effects spot with an eq.

I just got it in and I can tell you it’s a massive downgrade from the original. This thing sounds like a cheap Frfr speaker and it lacks the balls it use to have.

I am very sad I sold my old spark
To be able to upgrade to this. I can’t believe they went backwards with this product. It legit doesn’t sound good at all

So it only does heavy metal?

Bought my Spark 2 on the initial roll out and received it a few days ago. Just started playing around with it and absolutely LOVE it! I have only scratched the surface of what it can do but it has made playing fun again! Can’t wait to dig into it more!

Ive had the No2 for a few days and very disappointed with the drum sounds on the app for the lloper. Rock/Pop/Funk/Blues??? How about jazz or reggae or soul? And they are ALL IN 4/4 !! what about 3/4 or 6/8 or 7/4 or even 5/4. And the way the beats are organized, you have to go thru EVERY one to find what you may be looking for. Not even grouped into metal/prog/classic/light/heavey. Really bad and so easy to have NOT done it so lazily. Would have been noce to have printed instructions in a BIG font - we dont all have 20/20 vision spark-people. Have to print out the instructions from the website. The general sound,like No 1 , is Still very bass-heavy and you have to EQ every pre-set and save. On the plus side - its VERY loud and clear and the add-on battery lasts for ages. The controls are WAY better than No 1 . Not sure I'd say its worth selling your No 1 to buy it though..... and the resale prices have crashed, obviously. Close, but no cigar. Cant wait for spark 3 ha ha ha

Got mine today! Much improved version...very addictive

Got mine today Big improvement over the 40 much more balance tone and no more boomy bass.

The one thing that I really hope they addressed in this new one is the glitchy volume and tone issues that happen with my original Spark 40. I’ve done a couple firmware updates and it still will occasionally change volume level and the tone will change randomly from one power on to the next. Sometimes I’ll turn it on and it sounds louder and clearer and feels inspiring to play and other times it’s way more quiet and feels like it’s missing something almost like if you were to turn down your guitar volume control. Definitely not the guitar since any guitar I plug in when that happens sounds off.

Best demo I've seen so far on the Spark 2. Looking for some details on how to use the looper function.

Useless tutorial unless you’re into noise

I pre ordered spark2. Giving my gen 1 to my son. Just good amps

I like that various styles of music are being run through the spark 2. It’s a fair chunk of change to get one delivered to Canada. The upgrade offer is decent. For me it’s about learning the gear to get the best out of it.

I was hoping for some advice from those who’d know; I got a Boss Katana Mk 2 and a RC5 looper based on advice from my guitar teacher, which I use as my main gear when practicing. I had a Spark Mini before, and loved it because it was so easy to use. I find the Boss products to be not very user friendly, often a bit frustrating. Would it be a mistake to sell them and change over to this new Spark 2?

why do you all start playing that trashy music same old stuff

Great update except for one thing... the line outs MUTE THE INTERNAl SPEAKERS! That's a MAJOR FAIL!!

i really hated the original spark, just sounded like a 90s zoom pedal. So does this.

Thank you! Such a Great Review! Now I Want One!🎼🎸

Thanks, My Spark 2 arrived today. Can't wait to try it out

How does spark 2 compare to Hotone Pulze?
At the moment I have a spark 1 and a Yamaha thr 10 ii.
The heavy distortion in the spark is so bad compared to the thr that I don't want go for this again. Also liked some deep delay in in hotone review so can't decide where to go next.

Lots of forehead leaning into the laser focused authorial ether. Umm do you know stairway to heaven?

I got the spark one. I had preordered it months ahead of time on a count a cause a, I suffer from G.A.S. Well, let me just put it this way. The next gen white model came out 10 days before Mine even arrived. Disappointed not, Furious? Absolutely. I had gotten my passport because I was going to make a sea assault on Brittany. I had plans to fight my way up the Thames and overland to at least the Brew House in Oxford near the castle mound. So spoke the wizard from his mountain home. The vision of his wisdom means we will never be alone. And As such I became embroiled in more important things. Chasing women, stealing gold and other finer things.

noise

I own a Spark version one. I use it 'clean' and add stomp boxes for performing and it's really great.
I didn't care for this demonstration 'cuz it was almost entirely 'metal' demonstration on it.
The version 1 has too much bass that you can't really dial out unless you have a stomp box equalizer.
The blue tooth audio that I play sounds terrible on that version one.
Apparently the Version 2 has less of that bass.

That intro about time being a construct is cracking me up 😂

It be nice if the speaker does not disable when plugging it in the cab version.

Ils devraient améliorer la connectique en ajoutant du Midi pour pouvoir changer de preset et ajouter une prise pour un haut parleur extérieur. Sinon c'est un excellent ampli.

Should I go for Boss Katana 50 gen 3 or the Spark 2?

i heard the speakers were the biggest issue.....i know these are supposed to be better but i wish they would make a premium version of these with some crazy good speakers

How does the Spark 2 react/ sound with physical guitar effect pedals in front of the device?

Although I'm not a metal fan I did find your video of using the Sparc 2 really good and informative. Thanks!🎸

Did you record with the Amp mic'd? Or the direct output. Headphone jack. Sounds great. I have Boss katana air. Wonder how it compares
