Positive Grid put more money into influencers than the actual tech.
My pedalboard sounds better than anything Positive Grid has put out
Bumping this.
What do people think of these? I'm reading good reviews, but it seems like reliability is an issue.
Also, people seem to have issues with the company.
Any thoughts?
Hell of a Necro bump, but... I bought one of these for my dad as a Father's Day present last year and I thought it sounded great. Amp is dead silent, which was super weird - I thought it was off at first. Bluetooth is easy to setup and it's way louder than expected. Those tiny speakers can put out lots of low-end, too. He plays mostly classic rock and blues through it and digs it. I was impressed with the metal tones for such a tiny amp. There's a lot to do on it and the app is well-integrated. I've thought about buying myself one several times because I enjoyed it so much, but I already own 5 other amps so it's not like I NEED it...
I got the Mini last year and i love it as a practice tool to have around toddlers, they'll be outside running around like crazy and i'll be out there thrashing on my Charvel.
I use a spark go as a practice travel amp. I would say their high gain modeling is fairly garbage. It does not compress like a real saturated amp would. Enough so it's sorta distracting when playing. Tapping feels awful on it. But for just practice it's fine. It will be meh, but will work.
Yeah at this point the modeling on the Spark line of amps is rather antiquated. There sadly is no real "modern" desktop (or mini) amp that is on the level of Tonex/QC/Helix modeling wise.I can’t stand playing guitar through the Go unless I’m using headphones. I use semi-open AKG K240 MkII around-the-ear headphones. Strangely, bass guitar sounds decent through the Go speaker — maybe because it simply passes on trying to reproduce the fundamentals and you’re pretty much just hearing harmonics.
