Positive Grid Spark 2 BK

I needed a small amp that I can easily carry on my bicycle for jazz combo gigs in small venues. Getting a great jazz sound is quite important to me, and since the other small amps I tried were "just OK" I decided to take a chance on the Spark 2 before its official release.

The setup and learning curve were quick, and I was able to dial in a very convincing Deluxe Reverb tone easily. The next night I took it to rehearsal with 16 piece Latin jazz orchestra with drums and percussion. This group is LOUD, and the Spark 2 held its own - I was even asked to turn it down! Since then I've had lots of compliments from other musicians. The FRFR sounds great when streaming music with Bluetooth, so now I find I'm using the Spark 2 for practice more than my main amp.

I've only just scratched the surface of features and tones, and I'm really happy with it. My only criticism is a small one: there is no spring reverb, and the alternatives are good but not great.

Bought the positive grid spark 2 along with the spark control x footswitch. I am really pleased with this amp it has great tones and along with the spark app is so easy to use and so versatile. I used to spend forever trying to set up my tones on previous amps to sound like particular artists and was never happy with the results. With this amp it is so easy to download the sounds you are looking for from the tone cloud. This saves me so much time and allows me to get on with playing and learning the guitar. I love the fact that you can bluetooth backing tracks from the app on your phone so easily through the amp to practice with.
A great little amp providing so many great tones and so versatile. The perfect amp for me as I only play guitar at home and do not gig. Although the volume can be cranked up very loud on this amp (50W) so it may well be fine for gigging as well.

The Spark 2 is an absolute powerhouse in a compact package — Positive Grid has taken everything that made the original Spark great and leveled it up.
Right out of the box, the build quality feels more premium. The updated design is sleek and modern, with a refined look and improved interface that’s intuitive and user-friendly. But it’s what’s under the hood that really shines.
The sound quality is phenomenal for an amp this size. Whether you're playing clean blues, high-gain metal, or ambient tones, the Spark 2 delivers rich, dynamic, and full-bodied tones that easily rival amps twice its size. The bass response is tighter, the mids are punchier, and the highs cut through beautifully.
What really sets the Spark 2 apart is its smart features. The app integration is seamless, with real-time tone suggestions, Auto Chords, Smart Jam, and now even video capture for easy content creation. The tone engine has been upgraded, and the additional amp and effect models provide unmatched versatility for practice, writing, and recording.
Bluetooth audio is crystal clear for jamming along to backing tracks or streaming music, and the USB interface works flawlessly for home recording. It’s truly an all-in-one rig.
🎸 Verdict: The Spark 2 is more than just an amp — it's a full-blown creative tool. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, this is easily one of the best gear investments you can make. 5 stars, no question.

The build quality is awesome and the app is quite clever and functional, the amp sims are great and you can dial in almost anything you want. AI features are fun but not reliable, for serious playing you can customize stuff in advance. The new speakers and looper were a great addition to an already awesome amp.
For the bad stuff:
-It needs to go through the connection screen every time you use the app, I wish the app was more like Garmin Connect where it "hunts" for the connection if your bluetooth is on, so you don't waste time connecting every time you use it. I have the wireless foot switch (Control X) for it and it has the same issue, every time you use it it needs to reconnect, and you need to press the button on the back of the amp to do it.
- This one is especially frustrating if you have the above-mentioned pedal, the amp is slow to change patches. It takes about half a second or more once you press the switch and it's very noticeable if you try and do it mid song.

The Positive Grid Spark 2 is the first amp I’ve ever owned, and while its range of features felt a bit overwhelming at first, it didn’t take long to get the hang of it. Both the amp and the Spark App are thoughtfully designed and work flawlessly together, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.

I bought it as a practice amp, and in that role, it not only delivers but surpasses expectations. One feature I especially love is the Bluetooth connectivity—I can connect my tablet and have Yousician’s backing tracks and instructions play right through the amp. It’s a game-changer for focused practice sessions.

The sound quality is excellent, even though I don’t have other amps to compare it to. It’s also beautifully designed, with a premium look and feel that fits nicely into my interior. I never feel the need to hide it away when I’m not practicing.

I’ve used it with both electric and acoustic guitars, and while it takes a little tweaking to dial in the perfect tone, the app makes this super easy. The built-in tones are versatile, and the ability to fine-tune everything adds a lot of value.

I haven’t explored the AI features yet, but they look like an exciting tool to dive into as I grow past the beginner stage. Overall, the Spark 2 is a fantastic choice for any guitarist looking for a smart, stylish, and reliable practice amp.

I had an issue with my Positive Grid Spark 2 amplifier that was completely my fault.
Instead of charging me for parts or repairs, Thomann covered shipping both ways, handled everything quickly, and — to my surprise — sent me a brand new unit!
Fast, friendly, and truly customer-focused. Highly recommended!

Some words for the product. First of all, i'm a rookie who start's bult his equipment. This amp it gives you an ocean of things that you can do. I'm in the beggining but till now i'm working whthout any problem or difficulty. Android app is very easy. You can built your sound from a large amp library without buy enything extra. Sound is very good from speackers or headphones.

Tip: When i connect the amp for the first time to my laptop i had a problem. Windows could't recognize it. After installing drivers and connecting the amp to usb port there's no responce from laptop. After a day of searching i found that the drivers of usb controller was from microsoft and not form the AMD. To solve the problew i connect a usb-C hub at usb-c port of my laptop and i connect the amp to usb-c port of the hub and... "Let there be light"
