How to: Positive Grid Spark 40 Amp and Spark App User's Guide #positivegrid #howto

I haven't figured out how to change cabinet or how to bring up the tuner from the app. The tuner looks and works much better on the screen, but I can't find the button aside from the physical one.

Good morning. What is your opinion of the Spark vs Boss Katana for a stay at home player. Probably will never play in public or as part of a band. I sold the Katana and picked up the Spark for cheap. I do have some sellers remorse. But for using it for practicing will I actually miss the Katana? Does the Spark sound good enough clean to dirty to even worry about it?

do you have any experience with the spark go? i'm looking into one

Spark amps are the most sold amps for 3 consecutive years and counting, you either got a lemon or just like to complain ?

If I wanted to use the Bias fx 2 app with the Spark 40, I would simply disable all of these in the software that is the Spark app. Is that correct. Then use the red audio thing and plug my guitar into that then output that into the Spark 40.

Best tutorial I've seen. Thanks. I just bought one and am playing it.

It says it has a battery how do I charge the battery

How do you switch amps on the app ?

What’s the battery for dc again?

I wish that I could get a list of amp and pedal correlations. It would also be nice if I could rename the dumb names to the actual names.

No, it isn't obvious what they are.

I also don't care about sounding like Dave Gilmore but I would like to have a set of effects to get the early Donald Roesear sound.

Maybe I missed it, but how are you using a mouse with this? I thought the software for this amp was only phone based apps?

Do those lights constantly blink?

Inches? Still??? C'mon get with it. How tall is it? In cm's dude!
This shouldn't be necessary in 2023!

This is the only place I found this information in detail. A must see for new spark owners. Thanks 🤘

Thank you this is great information

Nice one... Helped me a lot in understanding how this great little amp works as I'm a bit of an old Luddite when it comes to this type of tech... Many thnx ,,,,

I am missing something in this user guide. Lets say i have a backingtrack on my phone and want to play that through the music bluetooth speaker, so i can play along. How to go about that.?

I just got the same amp the other day and you did awesome explaining the app. I've been trying to figure out the app and the spark pedal at the same time, and you covered the app so well. Thank you. Now I guess I have to download the firmware for the pedal to get all the scenarios. I heard you can update it off my android, but it says I'm updated, and it's not showing anything.

Is the jimmy hendrix pack, only one payment or subsciption

Where did you get the batter pack from ????

Great explanation! I stayed with you through the whole vid ànd will actually be returning to this for at least a second helping!
You have natural talent for explaining things quickly yet thoroughly! Subscribing & 👍

This may have been covered already and I apologize. But does the app override what is set on the physical knobs?

Well I’m sold. Friday, headed to pick one up. Ordered the battery pack. I have been using another battery brand for 2 years now. They are great items.
Not sure if I’ll use any of the app’s presets but it would be foolish of me not to check them out.

I have to give you credit for helping me decide. THANK YOU!

I have been interested in thecSpark and Yamaha THR series. I’ve seen many complaints about the Spark’s low end being overwhelming. I did. notice a firmware update addressing tone issues. Your review being fairly new, what’s your opinion n this?
Also, is the battery pack a Positive Grid product or a third party item? I use a great battery pack for my Roland GR55 and it has a 19v setting.
Great interview!

Without doubt, the worst buy I"ve ever made. My Marshall cheapo MG10 has a better sound and is considerably louder.

Anyone besides me having an issue with the amp popping when turning off the power? I'm worried about messing up my electronics on my guitars.

Did enjoy the video. Very educational.

My Spark 40 has been cutting out intermittently.- either with the guitar or computer USB connection. Each dead period lasts for a minute or 2. Firmware update did not resolve the issue. So right now its useful only to hold the door open or as step to reach high places. I'm waiting to hear from PG.

I'm a 59 year-old retired beginner and I'm looking for a good practice amp. In your opinion would you recommend this or the boss katana 50 mkII.

Great video, only critism is it would have been brilliant if you just played a couple of chords on each one you chose.

On another YT's video he shows that the three pedals to the right have one knob/pot on each controlled by the Mod/Delay/Reverb knobs on the amp, the only one with a quirk is the EQ pedal instead of controlling the output level it controls the mid level slider but it does turn it off if moved all the way to the bottom...all three can be turned off if you move them to zero, but when you move them up or down they control only one knob on the pedal.

What battery pack are you using? Thx

Such an informative Video. I see myself making things like this when I’m older. Thanks 😊

Does anyone know if do the factory reset do I have to do the firmware updates again?

Great guide. Thanks. Can I use a univibe or muff effect together with the EQ in the mod/eq's section ? Also because it seems that the Spark is kinda bassy.

What are you moving around in? iPad with a mouse or do you have a windows program?

Thanks for the detailed video! Question: Is it a total of 4 presets on the amp or is it 4 for each instrument on the knob (I.e Bass, acoustic, clean, metal…etc)?

Thanks for doing this! So I think I know answer to this but just wanted to confirm. Can we use the Spark Amp as an independent amp? What I mean by that is say we just turn on the amp and not using the App. Is there always a preset in use OR are we able to use the Spark amp without the presets engaged? Thanks!

Very interesting, I purchased this amplifier 4 months ago and I 'm still ignorant when it comes to what it offers until I watched your video

May I ask what kind of device you're using with this app?

Great overview. Love the Spark so far.

Can you help explain using Spark with PreSonus recording? Much appreciated.

Good job of explaining usage.

LOVED the video. I love Spark amp and your video is fantastic.
