Title: Unbeatable value
Review: I just received my spark go and was truly impressed. The sound quality is great for such a small device. The amp is not overly loud but the volume is plenty for house practice and on the road practice. The tones are great and there is a multitude of amps and effects to shape the sound your trying to achieve. The app is pretty simple to use comes with tons of features like tuner, metronome, and lots of varied backing tracks to practice along with. The amp also functions extremely well as a portable Bluetooth speaker that you can play music through. Battery life is great and charges just like a phone. This will fit inside virtually any guitar case/gig bag and you have an extremely portable amp that has all the tones and effects of much more expensive amps in a form factor that you can take with you anywhere. I own a lot of music gear but this device is so feature laden and versatile for the money that thereâs hardly any level of musician that would not benefit from owning one of these devices. Thereâs nothing in this devices price range that comes close to having all these features. Heck, most decent Bluetooth speakers arenât this cheap and this thing functions as a fully featured amp modeler that can project great sound quality or be used with headphones!

Title: Surprisingly good. Almost great.
Review: So Iâm a pretty avid guitarist. I play quite a bit, I have six or seven guitars and 4 amps (excluding the spark). I purchased this little guy thinking that I could use it to travel or even just to play elsewhere in my house from where my amps and pedals are set up. My Mesa combo weighs something like 75 pounds and thatâs before you include the pedal board or anything else. So it doesnât get moved too much. The Spark is truly tiny, but solid, and it looks and feels like a luxury product. The first picture is it sitting on top of my Marshall head and Mesa boogie Cali tweed. Fits right in. Iâm pretty devoted to tube amps and tube sound. And honestly I was very skeptical. But I love this thing. No. Itâs not as loud as my 40W class A Boogie, which incidentally has a 5w power setting, itâs not even close to as loud as that 5W setting (despite also nominally being 5W although clearly not Class A). But thatâs ok. I wonât be playing venues with it. It does a great job being just loud enough to enjoy in a room. One of my favourite features is actually its ability to simultaneously stream music and play guitar. All while maintaining reasonably decent fidelity. Despite it being tiny and not that loud, it does a very good job simulating *some* of the sound and feel of a much bigger, much more expensive amp running at full tilt. It has a bunch of features that I havenât even explored yet but so far I think itâs fantastic, and for 100 or so bucks Itâs definitely worth it. Cheers all.

Title: THE best purchase Iâve made in a LONG time!
Review: Honestly, I bought this little amp, thinking that I would give it a try and probably return it. But, once i got my hands on it and gave it a listen, there is no way Iâm returning this. I love everything about this product:- Small, light and portable. I bring it with me almost everywhere (with guitar and cable in back of my car).- Very rugged and well built and feels solid- It can get surprisingly loud yet is very clean and clear.- Stellar battery life- Headphone jack for quiet playing- It functions as an audio interface on my Mac!- It functions as a Bluetooth speaker for my phone.â¦and most importantly, the guitar tones on this thing are FABULOUS. From lovely reverb and delay to gritty crunch and distortion, plus amp modelers and eq. My guitar has never sounded better.And to top it off, it not only comes with four tones preset into the hardware (which you can overwrite if you like), but their free mobile app gives you dozens more tones AND you can download, at no cost, additional tones from users in their cloud based community. Iâve loaded up my app with SO many useful tones, created by others.Iâm not being asked nor compensated in any way for this review. Iâm just passionate when I find great, killer products like this. Enjoy!

Title: Can I give more than 5 stars??
Review: I've played guitar for over 40 years (which does NOT mean I'm any good... but I know a thing or two about playing, at least). I have a massive Fender Twin Reverb amp from back in my gigging days, but that thing is useless unless it's dialed up to at least 5 and even at that relatively low volume you're loud enough to shake the windows and get yourself evicted. So how can you ever practice or just noodle sitting on the couch?Enter the Spark GO. I simply cannot recommend this little amp enough. It's taken me from playing every now and again, to playing constantly, and it's entirely because it's so easy and convenient with this thing. And it sounds great! I've messed with the amp a few times to really dial in a specific soundscape, but even the 4 defaults sound good. It's gets plenty loud for personal use, I've never even needed to have it all the way up. The battery lasts for days and recharges quickly and it's super light and portable... I've taken it on trips with my travel guitar and it's just the perfect solution.Best of all, relatively speaking, this thing is cheap, too! I've suggested the Spark GO to all of my musician friends, so if you're on the fence, just buy it, you will not be disappointed!

Title: Super portable! Great gift for and electric guitar owner
Review: This is a great amp. It super portable and can produce so many different sounds with your electric guitar. My teenage son was very pleased with this. It's fun, the price is right and it's very easy to use.

Title: Great practice amp!
Review: For people who are constantly on the move and want something that is highly portable and doesn't take up too much space, this is for you. This speaker has a surprisingly big sound for such a small amp, and the app makes the experience even better. From the app, you can play with different presets or even make your own unique sound. In regards to the design, I am a big fan of the compact, highly accessible design. My only complaint about the speaker is that from such a small speaker, a lot of crunch sounds odd and static-like. Apart from that, however, the speaker sounds great and brings a lot to the table at a reasonable price.

Review: I read reviews about this amp before purchasing and I am very pleased with this product, it fits the niche of a travel amp. Good sound for its size, it doesn't have the punchy lows (which I expected) because its a 5W amp. It has really great presets that are easily accessible through the app.This is an excellent tool for practicing or people who travel and want to have some semblance of a home studio room on the go. Built in amp presets, metronome, and many other really useful features. Well worth the investment.

Review: Realmente muy útil para practicar, aún que el sonido no es tan nÃtido, para el tamaño que tiene suena muy bien y con un volumen alto, tiene buena potencia y lo que destaca son todos los efectos que se pueden utilizar gracias a la app.Pros: tamaño discreto y uso de múltiples efectos, buena duración de la baterÃa (llevo una semana sin recargarlo con prácticas diarias de una hora), buena potencia en comparación con el tamaño. Completamente recomendable en relación calidad/precio.Cons: aún que tiene función de bluetooth, no se puede utilizar como bocina para la música desde las apps como spotyfi, tienes que utilizarla desde la app de spark, el sonido no es tan nÃtido (sin embargo se entiende en relación o tamaña)

Review: En pocas palabras, este aparatito hace las 3 cosas que necesto. Un amplificador, una manera de practicar con audÃfonos y una interfase de audio. No es el mejor en ninguna de esas cosas pero para mi es utilÃsimo.

Review: Itâs tiny, you immediately think itâs going to be no more than a toy. Feels solid, comes with two grills, two handles but still itâs tiny. Plug it in and prepare to be absolutely gob smacked at the sound coming out of this thing, check to make sure you didnât plug into a large amp, nope this little thing sounds absolutely amazing. Iâm stunned at the crisp clear sounds emanating from something so small it impossible but true. Pair the app and prepare to pick your jaw off the floor, itâs thousands of amps in one, metal, rock, blues, pop, acoustic this little thing handles them all delivering clear tone and killer volume. Itâs versatile, you can plug it into a powered speaker, itâs simply stunning. Paired with wireless transmitter and people will struggle to understand where the sound is coming from itâs a complete game changer. My Roland Cube is redundant this is my favourite purchase of the year. Itâs also a Bluetooth speaker, plays jam tracks, guitar amp and it fits in your pocket !!! Absolutely the best practice amp. Battery life is epic. For the price this thing punches way above in terms of quality, sound and functionality. Simply stunning !!
