Standing less than 4 inches tall and equipped with a humble 2-inch speaker, the Positive Grid Spark GO ultra-portable smart guitar amp and Bluetooth speaker delivers 5 watts of full-range tone worthy of an amp several times its size over. By utilizing Positive Grid’s computational audio technology, Spark GO breaks free from the traditional tonal barriers imposed on portable practice amps, then pairs that power with the company’s comprehensive Spark software architecture. The result? An incredibly inspiring hybrid practice amplifier/Bluetooth speaker with four built-in preset slots and some 50,000 more patches available via the Spark app. As if that wasn’t enough, a comprehensive set of practice features ? including Positive Grid’s AI-enabled Smart Jam and Auto Chords ? make woodshedding easier than ever, while the onboard audio interface functionality makes it a breeze to lay down your tracks using your favorite Spark patches. But that’s not the half of it: a built-in tuner, line out, headphone hack, custom EQ scenarios, 10-hour battery life, and more push Spark GO far past the realm of the “practice amp,” truly redefining the potential of a pocket-sized amplifier.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


Harness the power of computational audio





Don’t be fooled by Spark GO’s compact frame ? this little amp’s loud, full-range projection defies all expectations! It’s a truly remarkable design comprising a custom-designed 2-inch speaker that harnesses the power of computational audio to punch well above its weight class. Moreover, Spark GO boasts four built-in preset slots, with countless patches to pick from on the Spark mobile app. Whether you’re looking for a portable way to sharpen your shred chops or practice your next singer/songwriter performance, the Positive Grid Spark GO packs uncompromising tonal might into a pocket-sized package.





50,000 patches to GO





Right out of the gate, Spark GO comes equipped with a whopping 33 unique amplifier models and 43 effects, all inspired by legendary gear in music history. From searing arena shred to pristine jazz to effect-laden shoegaze, there’s no style that Spark GO’s tonal library can’t cover. When testing Spark GO out at Sweetwater, we were particularly impressed by its full integration with the Spark app’s tone-sharing functions, allowing you to experiment with over 50,000 user-created tonal creations or even upload a custom patch to share your refined tonal taste with the rest of the world.





The perfect practice partner





The Spark GO’s full-size tone and exceptional portability make it the perfect practice amp and Bluetooth speaker ? and that’s before you get to the Spark app’s suite of practice-enhancing software. Looking to tackle a new song? Auto Chord mode provides custom real-time chord sheets so you can learn right along with the song. Plus, the AI-enabled Smart Jam feature trains itself to your personal tone, playing, and style, then it generates a custom backing track that jams right along with you. And while blasting out licks through Spark GO’s powerful speaker is as fun as it gets, there’s also a convenient headphone jack for silent practice sessions.





Ready, set, record





Once practice wraps, Spark GO doubles as a pocket-sized audio interface for effortless recording. Plug your Spark GO into your computer to lay down your next track using Positive Grid’s vast library of pro-level amplifiers and effects.
