Positive Grid Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Smart Guitar Amp & Speaker

Exactly what I needed. Great little, convenient practice amp, really well made, I've had several 'practice amps' in the past, ranging from £50 1-5w gimmicks (Fender mini, Blackstar fly, Orange crush mini) to £150 25w modeling amps (Marshall code). They are all awful, all sound like cr*p and the more pricey ones (bigger) which sound a little better are a faff, needing mains power, Bluetooth functions are limited and are still a pain in the arse*e to get out of a cupboard and set up before you can play. This is perfect, holds a charge, is pocket sized, truly plug and play, get great guitar tones in seconds and the app is fantastic. If you're like me... who just wants a good sound, at low volumes, that you can set up in seconds for a 30min noodle/practice on the sofa in the evening, then don't look any further. Again the app is great too, a fantastic learning/practice aid. On top of all that...... It has very impressive sound quality when used as a bluetooth speaker and plenty loud enough for a lounge or barbecue with 12 people talking and having drinks. I very nearly went for a GP5, but by the time you buy a decent little speaker, battery pack so you're not chained to a wall, you're in the same money.... And again it's all a faff to set all that up. This does everything that a GP5 does and more, and is far more convenient, well worth the extra £25 I would highly recommend! If you didn't already realise 😜

Brilliant bit of kit. Great quality speaker and the guitar effects are excellent and easy to change through the app. Connected to my phone very easily. Allows me to practice without headphones and not have to use my large amp that upsets the neighbours. Easy to carry outside and play a bit of guitar on the patio (when the sun is out). Great build quality.

These little amps are expensive compared to other practice amps, but absolutely worth it. Sound quality and ease of use are great, the app works well, the sound models are pretty varied and all sound good. The battery lasts a good while and it weighs next to nothing - I took this and my donner travel guitar round the US and Canada, with this inside the donner case - and it was great for practicing inside hotel rooms. Can run the line in, the metronome, and backing track all at once. Also great when used as a BT speaker. I’ll be buying more PG amps based on the experience I’ve had with this one.

This is a small 5W practice amp that does a whole lot more. It has 4 effects built in, with even more available through the app. It has a good sound to it, which is very suitable for practice. The battery life is good, and it has Bluetooth, which allows it to be used to play along to music from you devicves and link to the app. Value for money is a difficult topic here. If you don't have any other effects pedals, these features will be well worth the extra money. The Spark app gives access to a lot of other features, a tuner, a song bank, and so much more. So I would say that this is probably better value for money for beginners rather than experienced players.

It’s tiny, you immediately think it’s going to be no more than a toy. Feels solid, comes with two grills, two handles but still it’s tiny. Plug it in and prepare to be absolutely gob smacked at the sound coming out of this thing, check to make sure you didn’t plug into a large amp, nope this little thing sounds absolutely amazing. I’m stunned at the crisp clear sounds emanating from something so small it impossible but true. Pair the app and prepare to pick your jaw off the floor, it’s thousands of amps in one, metal, rock, blues, pop, acoustic this little thing handles them all delivering clear tone and killer volume. It’s versatile, you can plug it into a powered speaker, it’s simply stunning. Paired with wireless transmitter and people will struggle to understand where the sound is coming from it’s a complete game changer. My Roland Cube is redundant this is my favourite purchase of the year. It’s also a Bluetooth speaker, plays jam tracks, guitar amp and it fits in your pocket !!! Absolutely the best practice amp. Battery life is epic. For the price this thing punches way above in terms of quality, sound and functionality. Simply stunning !!

It's very small but the sound is very big and it is a breeze to use. There are limitations- you have no control over the 4 presets unless connected via Bluetooth to the Spark App on a tablet or mobile phone. I connected to both with no trouble at all and the app gives easy access to a huge range of presets, control over individual presets and many other services online. The quality of individual patches is excellent and distorted amp patches respond well to backing off guitar volume and tone controls. The internal power amp is pretty loud and for practice you wouldn't need anything else. For ultimate sound quality a set of quality over-ear headphones or a stereo power amp set up is a must. I have just been running mine into a power amp through separate modulation and reverb/delay units and the result was awesome. It would be fiddly, and you would need a good monitoring set up, but you could gig with this. I can't comment on battery life, it lasted 2 hours with plenty to spare and you could carry a power bank around if that was a concern. The hanging loop supplied wasn't much use to me as I use wide straps with strap locks and I figured it would be a pain to get on and off, so I drilled out a small right-angled bracket to suit and attached that with a carabiner and some strong velcro loops so it can be moved easily between guitars or taken off for charging. If you are going to hang it off your strap it is worth investing in a short (30 cm or so) guitar cable. I made one up with right angled jacks, one of the silent variety so no nasty noises if I disconnect without turning it off!

Ive only had this product for less than an hour and Im already blown away by how amazing this is considering both its ridiculous small size and very reasonable price. For anyone starting out playing electric guitar this is a must have. The sound it gives for such a tiny package is really astounding. For my man-cave I had to turn the volume right down! Couple that with the what the app provides in terms of the wide range of various sounds and tones through all the software amps and pedals...it's just plain mental! For learning what each type of pedal does and how it modifies the sound alone is an education in itself, and thats only a small part of what the can do. If you have just started out learning guitar do yourself a favour and forget buying a big expensive and limited amp, buy this instead, you won't regret it.

Great little amp, all I could ever need for playing at home. The battery lasts for ages, the tone is fantastic, it doubles as a blue tooth speaker, you can download the set up for your favourite songs…. Did I say I liked it?!!

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

I have a travel guitar that, I used to use a lot but the honey tone amp ate batteries, the set up breakdown time was annoying and the sound quantity disappointing, so I mostly stopped using it. I ordered this amp with low expectations but after playing with it I couldn’t wait to endorse it: I love this amp! Great sound, great build quality nice and compact. The app has one common feature I don’t Ike but is very powerful. Feature I don’t like: different amps and mixers are skeuomorphic forcing you to interact with pictures of physical Amps. Feature I love: you can play a track and have the app lift the guitar settings an apply them to your guitar. Volume is surprisingly strong and clean and distortion free. By far the best electric guitar accessory I’ve gotten in years. One physical complaint. I wish there was a way to have a rigid connection the the guitar. I bought a male male amp adapter hoping I can attach the amp right to the amp port (although this will face the speaker towards me rather than out). Ps - also doubles as a high quality Bluetooth speaker.

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.

Powerhouse of a practice amp. The wonderful features aside just the portability makes it so easy to play anywhere and anytime! The tones are surprisingly good for something so small
