Wow!

In January, I started leading Praise and Worship songs for my Sunday School class, a group with over 50 people on its roster. We average 40 members each Sunday. Due to the size of the class I started using my electric guitar, and quickly decided dragging a corded amp (small, but still about 50% larger than Spark2) was not the way to go. I tried another small battery powered amp, and it did not have the volume needed. I purchased my Spark 2 about 30 days ago...and Wow. Just Wow. Incredible tone, plenty of volume so the folks in the back row can hear the music. And real BASS. When I play lower strings you can feel the notes. I mainly play "clean" for the class, so I don't crank the gain much at all, but when playing at home, this little box can really rock. Very impressive sound for it's size.

Buy the Yamaha instead.

I thought I had done extensive research and this was the one to get, but mine had a awful speaker crackle problem that does not exist through the headphone jack. I wasn't aware of this problem but after some more research its clear it is a common issue. Firmware updates did not fix it and numerous people report replacements have the same speaker crackle issue. I returned mine within 24 hours of getting as it was that bad. The app is also very buggy and crashed numerous times trying to update the firmware. Do your research on these problems before buying, especially the speaker crackle because it is a hardware problem, not a software problem (check youtube videos). It did sound good, especially when listening through the head phone jack... But the speaker issue and the app problems are really unacceptable. It feels like the product was rushed to the market. Recommend spending the extra cash on the Yamaha.

    I have been playing for decades and have lots of rack gear and multiple Marshall amps. I use this in my house instead of turning on all of the big amps. I love the 100k sounds available on the app. You're not going to play anywhere but your living room or bedroom with this, but it's great for what it is.

    This is a cool little amp, I connected to Bluetooth and WiFi, updated software, downloaded the settings for the artist I wanted to play, guitar sounds the same as recordings. I'm kinda blown away by how easy this is to use'. Pretty powerful amp for how small it is, I use to practice and warm up, you could actually use for a small venue. I had the Mini and returned, the Spark 2 is way better ! Makes me want to return my Fender Mustang for one of the new Reactor amps so I'll be familiar with both. The Spark 2 is perfect to take along camping in Airstream, I ordered the optional rechargeable battery so I can use unplugged. My Gibson Les Paul never sounded so good, perfect match.

    App is easy to use and it's easy to dial in or download great presets from users. However, they clearly have issues with the component quality as either my main speakers or the headphone switch that switches between the outputs has already failed. Should have stuck with my THR30.

    Feature full amp, perfect for home practice but powerful enough for jam sessions or maybe even playing in a small venue. Everything a beginner needs to progress in mastering the guitar. After many years away from playing it has definitely motivated me to get back into practicing the guitar! #sweepstakes

    Practice at home this has rich sound and Bluetooth allows options to quickly find songs you love. Lots of room for growth but great out of the box.

    can it be used with vocal mike?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The Positive Grid Spark 2 (50W) is primarily a guitar amplifier and is not designed for direct use with a vocal microphone. Here's why: Why it's not ideal for vocals: Input design: It only has 1/4" instrument-level inputs (TS), designed for electric or acoustic guitar signals—not microphones. No XLR input or mic preamp: Vocal mics (especially dynamic or condenser types) typically require an XLR input and proper mic preamplification, which the Spark 2 lacks. EQ and effects: The internal DSP is tailored for guitar tones—amp sims, modulation, distortion—not vocal processing. Phantom power: If you're using a condenser mic, you'd need phantom power, which the Spark does not provide. Workarounds (not recommended, but possible): If you're just experimenting or jamming casually: Dynamic mic + impedance-matching adapter: You could plug a dynamic mic like an SM58 into a 1/4" input using an XLR-to-1/4" cable or transformer adapter, but the results will be low volume and poor clarity. Mic through preamp/interface: You could run the mic into an audio interface or small mixer with proper mic gain, then route the output into the Spark’s aux input—but again, not optimal, and you'll be bypassing guitar processing.
