POSITIVE GRID SPARK MINI

Positive Grid's Spark Mini isn't just about bringing digital modelling to the masses, although it does that perfectly well. For guitarists who mostly play at home, either for internet broadcasting or just for fun, big loud amplifiers aren't necessary and can often be a disadvantage, as most big amps - especially valve ones are designed to sound good at the kind of volume levels that would cause friction with even the best of neighbours. The Spark Mini's clever speaker design does a good job of creating stadium tone at bedroom-friendly volume. Combined with the Smart Jam app and ToneCloud online preset library, it's really great fun to use, which is what it's surely all about.
