This is hardly a deal breaker, however, given the sheer number of possibilities. Your reverb pedal always sits at the end of the chain, for example, and you can't have two. You've got a lot of flexibility in editing these, but are locked into a certain signal chain order and can't double up on pedal types.

It can be a little overwhelming to start, but Positive Grid has shipped the app with a handful of preset tones. There are over 30 different virtual amp options to choose from and extras available as in-app purchases. The companion app lets you chain up to five virtual pedals and an amp (and a noise gate) to create a whole plethora of tones. You have three out-of-the-box tones on the amp and a fourth slot for a custom you can build using the companion app. It also helps that the Spark MINI sounds far better than it should for the size, and matches this with a whole lot of clever smart functionality.Īt its heart, the Spark MINI is a tiny tone-modelling guitar amp. For me, it's an act that's removed a barrier to entry. Having a tiny guitar amp that just sits on my desk makes playing feel effortless. I'm definitely not at the level of someone who's technically been playing as long as I have.īut to my surprise, the Spark MINI has me wanting to practice more. I'd love to get better, I just haven't had the discipline. I've been playing guitar on and off for a little over ten years, but I've never really committed to it in the same way I've managed to with drums.

I wasn't expecting to have the same kind of experience from the Positive Grid Spark MINI, a teeny tiny battery-powered guitar amp Bluetooth speaker hybrid. While fitness trackers have their issues, they're fundamentally aspirational products designed to help you meet goals. My Apple Watch has genuinely made me a healthier person, for example. At its best, technology can foster positive change.
