Another offering from PG, the Positive Grid Spark MINI takes everything that was great about the regular Spark and puts into a smaller enclosure. If you think that means a reduction in quality or utility you're totally wrong, this thing sounds absolutely immense. The Spark Go isn’t anywhere near as loud as the Mini and again, the limitations of the smaller speaker become more noticeable in its smaller form factor. However, I think the Spark Go makes the Mini a little redundant. It’s much, much smaller, has the same battery life and access to smart features. Video captureallows users to record themselves playing within the Spark app and then post it instantly to social channels with brilliant sound and video.

Through our ongoing pursuit of perfect tone, you’ll enjoy significantly improved sound flexibility with optimizations to EQ Scenario and other various fixes with this firmware update. For us, all amps should be well made and sturdy, regardless of their application. Guitar amps should feel robust and able to withstand anything you throw at them - something that's particularly important with a portable desktop amp. Of course, the controls and dials should feel smooth with just the right amount of resistance, not flimsy or unresponsive. On the other Spark amplifiers, I preferred using the tablet version of the Spark app, but that’s against the spirit of the Spark Go, which is all about portability. Things are cramped and fiddly on the smartphone, but not annoyingly so. Don't want to faff around with dedicated apps and other related gizmos? Well, the Orange Crush Mini is a simple, plug-and-play desktop amp that delivers great tone with no fuss.Personally, I’d buy the Spark Go over the Mini for that added portability, and the ability to play with the amp on your person (more or less) wirelessly. You lose sound quality with the smaller speaker, but I think it’s worth it to not notice carrying an amp with you. In terms of on-board controls, this version eschews almost all buttons to bring the physical controls down to the bare bones. Just like the Spark Mini, there are no dials for bass, treble, delay, reverb, etc., which you’d see on a traditional amp (or the Spark 40). On the surface, the Spark is a 40-watt practice amp powered by the highly revered BIAS tone engine - but in reality, it's far more than that. When used in conjunction with the Spark app, we discovered that this amp transforms into the ultimate practice companion. A mind-blowing portable powerhouse, Spark MINI delivers innovative smart guitar playing to go. With multi-dimensional high-quality sound, all-new Smart Jam, video creation, and Bluetooth® audio streaming, it’s the biggest smallest rig ever.

If you're going to be using this amp to potentially gig, then we'd really argue that you'd be better off with any of the best practice amps or guitar amps. The small speakers in a desktop amp will make playing larger spaces difficult, even though they’ll sound loud at home. How we test the best desktop guitar amps If you're looking for loads of different amps and effects sounds, the Fender Mustang LT40S will deliver. We loved the quality of its tones and it's got loads of great presets to get you started. The hallmark of the original Spark 40 amp was its size-defying sound. It’s easy to forget looking at its baby brother that the Spark 40 – a reference to the 40W speaker – was the OG little amp that could. For a practice amp, it has no right sounding as refined as it does at high and low volumes. It was even loud enough for some light gigging or an open mic without losing fidelity. I loved it and have it five stars. This clever little amp offers incredible value for money and may just change the future of practice and modeling amps forever.
Fret-King Eclat Custom Paul Rose Signature review: A single-cut with a difference – and we’re not just talking about that dramatic forearm scoop Experience Jimi Hendrix™ Official Gear Collection - Spark Experience Jimi Hendrix™ for Spark Amp & App. It's one of the smallest desktop amps you can get but don't let the look fool you, Positive Grid Spark GO is incredibly loud. Despite only being rated at 5 watts, it offers a room-filling sound and handily doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. We can’t think of a better way to practice on the go or at home than this fantastic mini amplifier. It won’t take up loads of space whilst simultaneously filling the room with its impressive volume and satisfying any guitar player with a high-fidelity sound. For guitarists just getting started, or those looking for a small practice amp, Positive Grid’s Spark GO is a fantastic option. Positive Grid Spark GO review: Specifications
