Over the past two years, the Positive Grid Spark has revolutionized the increasingly competitive guitar practice amp Marlet. And right now, it’s also one of the best budget amps on the market, with a tasty sound £108 off the latest Spark Pearl model at Amazon UK.
With the most comprehensive, next-level all-round functionality available – plus a padded gig bag and free shipping as part of this offer – it’s hard to think why you’d choose another amp in this stand. Especially considering that the Spark Pearl model has white tolex and gold piping instead of the usual black.
When we first reviewed the Spark, we were absolutely blown away. Our breathless conclusion (which we support?): “The Positive Grid Spark 40 might just be the ultimate home amp. The sounds are great and the smart technology is really smart. Auto Chord and Smart Jam are a convenient and amazing learning tools, and lots of fun too.”
If you’re unfamiliar, the Positive Grid Spark is a guitar practice amp, but it takes the concept to the next level. In addition to the 33 amp models and 43 effects included, the Spark is equipped with USB and Bluetooth connectivity giving you access to thousands of guitar sounds as well as connecting to your computer for recording.
But the technology doesn’t stop there, as the Spark also contains Positive Grid’s smart jamming functions. Smart Jam learns your playing style and generates backing tracks with authentic bass and drum patterns. While the Auto Chords feature can analyze any song you play through its smart app, producing a chord in real time for you to play along!
Not enough features for you? It doubles as a stylish Bluetooth speaker that wouldn’t look out of place anywhere in the house.
