- Spark GO sound test...you know, with the actual speaker. Playing cold, not warmed up, so there's that:) Verdict, it's awesome...sounds great for what it's meant to be used for...practice. The ease of use, portability, interface, app, with headphones, you can't beat it.
Presets
"GO Clean"
"GO Gritty Slap"
"GO Dirty Blues"
"GO 80's Lead"

I'm not sure if the app settings transfer over, but I had the Hi-Z Mode turned on because of my pickups (humbuckers) - Hudba
Sounds great. What an ace time to be a bedroom guitarist
Best live thru mic'd speaker demo yet.
Thanks! It was the phone camera/mic:) Galaxy Note 22 Ultra, propped up, hit record.
Plays SRV and Whitesnake in same video....instant like.
Nice demo man! I just got mine in the mailbox yesterday. The Top Gun song had me going
Haha, thanks!! Yeah, played 2 notes that reminded me of it...had to throw it in there...with the "wrong" suspense note.
It was extra suspenful
Nice sound review!
So many CZcams channels have reviewed this small, portable, practice amp and they all complain that it doesn’t sound like a huge Marshall stack! 🤔😂
I know! It wasn't made to fill those shoes! I actually appreciate how low I can get the volume and retain a decent sound. I've never been a fan of playing guitar through headphones...this little guy helps. Also, depending on the sound you go with, it's surprising how loud it can get for what it is!
@@simonpeek37 I pre-ordered a Spark Go and received it today. No problem setting it up. Really looking forward to trying out it’s features over the weekend! 👍
@@Planet-Bertie Awesome! I never thought I'd jump into a whole series of amps from a particular brand...but here we are:)
@@simonpeek37 Good man!
The Spark Go is an excellent wee beastie 👍
At least yours is working. Sounds awesome! Great demo! Mine won’t charge back up after running it down. Waiting on a response from positive grid. Hoping that they can acknowledge and resolve so I can play again. Time to go back to my 40.
Oh no! I hate to hear that! Hopefully, they well have a response soon. Will it work plugged in? If so, if you haven't already, you could try the firmware update? Not sure that has anything to do with the charging issue...either way, I hope it gets sorted out.
I'm amazed how little Positive Grid is caring about their customers. Almost every single unit I've seen has had an issue.
1:56 Oops!!😂
LOL! Oh, I'm aware. I love doing that occasionally...and quarter bends, it drives people crazy. Ending one fret off adds suspense...or anxiety, haha.
Nice! Can you do one for the acoustic guitar pretty please?! Cheers!
I'll see what I can do! That would be interesting because I think the full volume of an acoustic might be louder than the amp. Regardless, if I can pickup some pancake batteries for the acoustic, I'll give it a shot:)
How's the sound when listening to music, I plan to use it as a computer speaker also.
It's not bad, but not great. With it being as small as it is, it does lack low end. I mean, it will work in a pinch, but the Spark Mini may be a little better and louder for a PC speaker. To be honest, I've only tried running music through it very briefly, just to see what playing along with something would be like.
Where's the mic? Nice tones
Sorry for the delay in response! So the only mic I used was on my phone...Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. In all honesty, all my videos and recordings are my phone!
Your hand is huge 😄
LOL! The amp's just tiny...OR IS IT!?
@@simonpeek37 This is what Shaquille O'Neal will say?
You know what they say about big hands.
Big gloves
I just got mine today.
Straight away I need to update firmware.
I don’t have a computer to do this and firmware cannot be updated by Bluetooth, iPhone or iPad.
What the F???
I now have to buy a computer to update the firmware????
That is something that concerned me. I'm hoping they will create a way to perform a firmware update via the app. I tried to see if I could find a work around, but it seems as for right now, a PC is needed to update the firmware. I wouldn't say you HAVE to buy a computer...I'm sure someone you know may have one you could use...takes maybe 10 mins.

Thanks for the reply Simon.
I’m travelling, that’s why I got the GO amp. So in a couple months I’ll see a friend in Phoenix who has a computer.
Meanwhile I have a headless guitar and a different headphone amp to use.
There was other issues with Positive Grid that were not good.
Also they have zero customer support directly.
There are search suggestions that run you around in circles.
They used a lame courier company called UniUni that also had zero customer support who left the delivery beside my apartment elevator in a 19 story building. Not at my door or mailroom as indicated.
I rarely complain but this time I thought maybe it will help someone else decide about their possible purchase, I won’t deal with this company again ever.
@@kerryfromaj9032 Mine asked to update firmware, but I didn't do it, and it works fine.

Hi Gilland. Thanks for the reply.
Most of mine now works well enough until I update when I’m back in Phoenix to a computer.
It looks like the tone and speaker tone adjustment defaults to “requires firmware update” and this should really help the bluetooth speaker sound, later.
For some reason originally it would not connect properly asking for firmware update but it is ok now and I got it working well yesterday.
So today I used it for headphone practice and mono out into a large guitar amp. I’m surprised how good it sounds, I have a large effects pedal collection at home and this will easily do the same job I think.
@@gillandcleveford5925 Thanks for sharing! I just ordered one and when I read there was a firmware issue I slightly panicked 😂 but I'll get sorted when I have computer access
