And there’s no indication in the UI that double tapping is how you change out amps and effects.Įven the other parts of the app, while functional, lack some polish. The signal chain relies heavily on double taps which just aren’t as common in a mobile app. But some of the rough edges are just questionable interface design. I’m just not huge on heavily skeuomorphic designs. Now, to be fair, some of this is down to personal taste. The app unfortunately isn’t quite as polished as the hardware. It even eschews the usual amp format of a single 12- or 10-inch speaker in favor of a pair of four-inch ones. The white vinyl, unique grill cloth and fluted knobs give the whole thing a classy vintage vibe that straddles the line between guitar amp and home stereo. As with Yamaha’s THR series, you could easily leave this out in your living room and it wouldn’t feel out of place. But the Special Edition Pearl model is especially attractive. The regular Spark is already a pretty great looking amp.

Last chance to get your Positive Grid Spark GO at the special pre-order price. You’ll undoubtedly play more often as result, as I did, and that’s ultimately what great gear is all about. Throw GO in your backpack or jacket pocket, or let it hang from your wrist or guitar strap, and you’ll have all the inspiring tones, jamming features and more you desire or require. Spark GO’s compact form is a huge part of what makes it both fun and a boon for creativity and music making. You can turn this off in the app, which also has a handy volume level indicator. In addition, because the hardware volume knob is an endless encoder, GO by default makes a not-so-quiet muted guitar “chuck” sound to let you know when you hit its maximum. I could even see taking the GO and a pair of headphones with me on a guitar shopping trip for some privacy and detailed product auditioning.Ī few app features – like EQ Scenario, which has optimized preset curves for various music styles – weren’t active at the time of review. GO sounds satisfyingly loud, present and detailed for its size, and being able to have all of Spark’s features with you in such a compact travel-sized amp is pretty awesome. (I had connection issues with my Pixel 6, but Positive Grid has had no similar reports, so this was probably down to my preproduction test unit.) Spark App connected instantly with GO on my iPhone and I was up and running. In addition, you get Smart Jam, Quick Jam (featuring editable pre-made tracks with drum and bass accompaniment), Auto Chords, and video capture and sharing.

Like all Spark amps, GO relies on the Spark App to get the most out of it, including tone tweaking, and preset management and downloading. While Spark GO has 33 amp models and 43 effects onboard, thousands more are available for download. It also comes with red and black straps, so you can accessorize accordingly. GO comes mounted with a black-and-tan hardshell grill, and an all-black woven grille is included in the box, should you prefer that look.

The back of the body has several rubber concentric bevels molded into it, so you can lay the amp flat, with the speaker pointing up for omnidirectional sound, and have some isolation to prevent resonance from the table top. The power switch is mounted on the side adjacent to the volume control, next to a recessed input for the USB-C cable for charging and recording – yes, GO is also a 1x2 USB interface.
