Positive Grid Spark Mini BK

Efter att ha läst recensioner och tittat på en lång rad videor på YouTube, hade jag högre förväntningar på den här pjäsen. Den låter mycket för att vara så liten men ljudet imponerar verkligen inte. Det är möjligen orättvist att jämföra med min Line6 Firehawk FX men intrycket jag fick efter att ha lyssnat på youtubers var att Spark MIni skulle göra ett bättre jobb. Det gör den inte. Resterande aspekter kan jag inte klaga på: den är välbyggd, mycket liten och händig och funktionerna och många och välfungerande. Det verkar även finnas en större community som tillverkar ljud åt Positive Grids grejer än det gör för Firehawk. Men det hjälper inte, ljudet är trots allt det viktigaste.

Just recently purchased the Positive Grid Spark Mini, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with this little monster. Despite its compact size, the Spark Mini packs a punch with a range of features you get through the Spark app.

Firstly, the portability of the Spark Mini is a game-changer. It's lightweight and small enough to take anywhere, which means I can enjoy playing my guitar wherever plus the build quality is solid, and it feels quite durable.

The tones are rich and clear and the volume is surprisingly loud for its size.

Battery life is another strong point for the Spark Mini. I've been able to play for several hours on a single charge, which is more than enough for a typical practice session or jam.

All in all, warm recommendation.

Got this for hassle free practice and musical fooling around in and out of the house and it does the job well.
The sound coming out of it is not the best I’ve heard but for its size it really is great! Some disconnected-with-the-app issues from time to time but not so often as to become annoying.
I’ve read lots of complaints in forums and reviews from fellow users about bugs in the app and/or the unit or even it going kaput after some months of use. I’ve got it for 9 months now and it’s still going strong… 🤞
The omission of a looper is a big downer for me but I live with it.
Sometimes it gives out a low level radio interference kind of noise which is exacerbated with some high gain presets. The noise gate seems to help a bit but I avoid using it since it totally kills sustain, even at the lowest setting.
The freedom it gives me to play anywhere I want, inside or out of the house with a decent sound at a volume that doesn’t make neighbors want to sue me is a true blessing.
The battery life is very good, more than enough for me to be honest ( so far ).
All in all I’m very happy with it and I believe anyone with even marginally realistic expectations out of it will have them met if not exceeded.
[ thomann wise: Packaging was good and safe. No hidden fees. The delivery was a little later than advertised. No biggie. ]
