Spark MINI 10W Portable Smart Guitar Amp & Bluetooth Speaker with App for Playing Guitar at Home or Travel (Black)

This little amp is nothing short of astounding! When I first got it I wasn't particularly impressed with the preset sounds and then I started fiddling about on the app. There are lots of different amps and effects to choose from and you can get a whole range of tones. It won't take you long to find 'YOUR' sounds. Save them to the presets and away you go! I don't know how Positive Grid do it, but you get this immense sound coming out of this tiny box. If you like Dave Gilmour and have the 'Delicate Sounds of Thunder' live album, you can actually get something very close to that immense sound he creates. The app is just brilliant! You have all these backing tracks from fusion, to soul, to rock, that you can jam along with and the sound of your guitar will be synced with the track perfectly. I've tried doing the same thing with my Katana and it wasn't as good. They just don't sound as synced. I hardly ever play my big amps any more as the mini pretty much does anything I need. If you're toying about with the idea of getting one of these ask yourself, 'What volume do I play at most of the time?' I play at home and don't need big volumes, in fact I rarely put my other amps above 2. Also because it's battery powered you can take it anywhere, which I can't do with my little Blackstar Fly. The Mini is really well made and sits nicely in any space. There are a lot of other useful features on the app like showing you the chords you're playing in real time and I think it makes you more aware of how you play. I've been playing for nearly 40 years and I don't think I've ever enjoyed playing an amp as much as this. One thing I would note however, is that if you're playing a single coil guitar and you have the noise gate on, it will choke out the higher notes particularly on the high E string. You won't get this as bad with humbuckers. Just turn the noise gate off and this will help. For the money you pay, you get A LOT and I really mean that. There are quite a few reviewers on YouTube who actually prefer the Mini over the bigger Spark 40. Treat yourself to one, I don't think you'll regret it!

I remember back to when you had to buy a guitar tabs book from a music shop if you wanted to learn a song. Then the Internet came and with it the guitar tabs app. This has taken it to a whole new level. Search a song and play along to a video whilst the chords appear on the screen! If it's an unusual song not on the app yet, the built in Ai will work out the cords for you. Its pretty impressive... Then you have the multiple different options for sound effects and settings, the jam along mode, various other bits n pieces ive not even looked into yet All from a tiny battery powered and mobile speaker that sounds great. Best purchase ever I almost got the spark2 but just needed it for practicing indoors. The mini was the perfect choice

This guitar amplifier is brilliant. It is very well made and is great value for money. The amount of features it contains through the companion app is amazing and lets you make your guitar have any tone that you want. Using it without the app is also brilliant as the preset tones are great. It is portable and has a great battery life. The ability to plug it into a bigger speaker for live gigs is a great feature. I would definitely recommend it for beginners and seasoned players.

It is good sounding small practice amp. Integrated USB-C charged battery is a life changing feature comparing to Boss Katana Mini and its AA batteries. Spark mini can store 4 different preset which can be edited only by the app on your phone or tablet. It is quite simple to do it, but I prefere to also have access to the physical gain and EQ controls on the amp. You have enough amp models and effects to build your tone and access to the library with a lot of premade presets (even by some famous guitarists). In conclusion this is a nice small practice amp even if slightly overpriced. It is close to Yamaha THR price range which sounds better for my taste.

I was a bit sceptical about the claims and the effectiveness of this amp especially given its compact size, but it really has far surpassed my expectations. It is only 10 watts, sits neatly on my desk, and is perfect for me. I would say it is suited to personal practice, home gatherings, and other small venues. It is ideal for my needs as I needed a small desk amp to use with my acoustic and electric guitars, and one which I could easily move if needed. This fit the brief brilliantly and its compact and lightweight design, along with its neat carrying handle, makes it extremely easy to move around. I did consider the smaller 5-watt Spark model and a wide range of rival options, but after long research into the qualities and capabilities of different amps, I decided that this one stood out from the crowd. I bought this with my own money, and I am happy to report that I have not been disappointed in any way. The Spark Mini also offers great potential for the more demanding too, with jamming options and the like, though these are not my personal area of interest. I prefer to sing and play solo, and this amplifier really works for me in that capacity. Even without using the free Spark app, the tone from the built-in options available on the amplifier case itself are lovely straight out of the box, but the free app provides a huge diversity of amplifier and effect options through what I believe to be a well-designed, simple to use interface. Overall, this amplifier is well worth the money I paid, and one I would happily recommend to any guitar enthusiast looking for a small, portable amplifier for personal use and small room gatherings. It is an excellent choice, and I would be happy to recommend it to anyone that has similar needs to myself.

I've already had the Mini since it first came out and it's been my beside-the-chair practice amp for years. Though it's easily portable it seemed a good idea to get another that could be chucked in the back of a car for adventures. This new Pearl White will be my stay-at-home amp and my trusty old black one will do for travelling. It's powerful enough to hold its own in a room of 10 guitar players with their practice amps and will even make a decent job of a bass guitar considering its size. Bluetooth connectivity has never been a problem and it works well just as a Bluetooth speaker.

These little amps are a total game changer. I'm a line 6 helix user, but I have some building work on the horizon, and need to put some things in storage for a while. So I was looking for something small, but versatile. I almost bought the bigger brother, but having researched, I settled on the mini. The main reasons for that decision were: 1) portability - the rechargeable battery and the possibilities to take this thing on holiday in my campervan was a real plus 2) the bigger unit has many reviews which say it's too bass heavy for a guitar amp 3) I tweak settings in the app and do not need all of the dials on the amp too So, what's it like in use? This thing is FRIGGING AWESOME! I wish I had access to something like this when I was a kid!!! So many options built in through the app to get you up and running in no time, and adding the footswitch gives you a proper workable jam machine to power through any style and go from clean to dirty and a range of effects. You can jam along too, using the app. There's also a whole load of learning features, ideal for beginners. Bottom line, is this going to replace my helix? Of course not... but for home practice and taking it out and about? This thing is a serious great bit of kit.

For a small amp the cleans sounds are good but overdrives are a little wasp in a jam jar ish. The tuner was way out but I could have lived with that. App is good with lots of features. Now for the bad news, sadly I’ve returned the amp for a refund as it crashed three times in the first three hours. This was later followed by a loud continuous whistle and the amp failing to power down, also a slight smell of electrical failure coming from the back of the unit. Wouldnt bother with this particular model again in light of the above. Hopefully the faulty unit I received is an isolated case, but not prepared to chance another.
