Positive Grid Spark MINI Guitar Amplifier, Portable Mini Amplifier for Electric Guitar, Bass and Acoustic Guitar 10W (Black)

So far, so good…works as per specifications.

C'est réellement étonnant! Je l'ai acheté pour ne pas avoir à allumer mon Marshall tout lampes qui chauffe la pièce, et c'est la meilleure chose que j'ai faite depuis longtemps en matière d'achat musique! Le son est puissant pour la taille, et les possibilités sont infinies avec l'app associée. La configuration est rapide et facile, en quelques minutes, vous êtes prêts! Les sont sont variés et très bien reproduits. Que ce soit avec une acoustique ou une électrique, c'est vraiment bon. On sent bien que les progrès de modélisation sonore ont été importants depuis quelques années. Comme ampli de chambre/bureau pour s'entrainer, c'est parfait! Il est très compact, esthétique et pratique. Couplé à un transmetteur sans fil pour guitare, c'est idéal. L'application dédiée permet tous les réglages imaginables pour tous les styles. Elle est bien faite, à part la partie qui crée de l'accompagnement en fonction des accords joués, soit disant grâce à l'IA, qui est décidémment partout, qui fait de la bouillie, tout le reste est pratique. Choix du modèle d'ampli, des pédales d'effet actives et des paramètres avec les boutons virtuels, comme sur les vrais. Une fois le son trouvé, vous pouvez le sauvegarder dans une des 4 mémoires dédiées sur le premier bouton en remplaçant les sons d'origine. Bref, beaucoup de choses à explorer avec ce petit ampli de chez Positive Grid, et pour le prix, vous ne serez pas déçus, c'est sûr!

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 pre-ordered the Spark Mini and it arrived 11 days before I expected. Setup was easy, I upgraded the firmware to the latest version and it was ready to go. Despite of having fewer knobs that its big brother, the app makes it very easy to configure a rig like the big one I have. I got the tones I like quickly and assigned to the presets knob. It sounds very good, much better than another portable (but bigger) amp I have, plus the Mini works as a bluetooth speaker. Battery last a lot, in fact I have charged once a week with one hour of playing daily. It looks very good and finish is high quality. It's pricey but it packs a lot of technology. In other countries, those who pre-ordered it got the red grid as well, not our case in Australia, hence the missing star in value for money.

Mycket schysst och smidig stärkare i kompakt format!
