My Spark MINI arrived today after the typical Positive Grid delay.
I have to say I’m very impressed.
I had the bigger Spark 40 but sold it, as I found it too heavy in the bass and it isn’t really a portable amp, given it needs to be plugged to the mains and it was quite bulky compared to a THR for example.
Enter the MINI. All the features of its bigger brother, plus the benefit of having a built in rechargeable battery and being super small, so you can move it wherever you need it with zero fuss.
It sounds much bigger than it is and the sound IMO is better than the Spark 40 at lower practice volume, given they have been able to reduce the boominess this time.
It’s really well made and has a nice sturdy weight to it.
The app and connectivity is great. It just seems to be the ideal practice amp.
I’m going to build my own presets and replace the ones on the hardware, so I’ll have 5 good tones, directly accessible on the amp, without having to get my phone out. The presets as standard have so much delay on them, everyone sounds like a U2 song, with extra delay…. Why do they do that?
Anyway, I recommend it. I was skeptical given its dinky size, but it sounds much better than expected and will definitely do for practice!

My mate has the bigger one but he ordered the Mini and it's coming in tomorrow. I can't wait to try it.
Enjoy yours @Barnezy

I just checked, today at $195 + $35 delivery, works out to £186. I guess early bird got around 14% off, a large part due to the stronger pound 2 months ago.
