There’s nothing “Mini” about the huge, full-sized tone of the Positive Grid Spark Mini! This little box shatters all expectations of what a portable practice amp is capable of, boasting a unique dual angled-speaker design that utilizes a personalized EQ, omnidirectional bass response, and custom damping to produce a tone to match amps several times the Mini’s size. Designed for guitarists of all styles, if the Spark Mini’s four onboard studio-quality presets aren’t to your taste, you’ll certainly find something to love when exploring the Spark app’s vast library of over 10,000 presets, full of world-class amps, effects, and pedal emulations that allow you to capture your dream tone. What’s more, the Spark Mini is a must-have practice tool for beginners and pros alike, allowing you to play along, slow down, or loop tricky sections of your favorite songs for complete fingerboard mastery ? the Spark app can even display a song’s chords in real time as you’re playing along! Add in the built-in tuner, Bluetooth audio streaming capability, and audio interface functionality, and the Spark Mini isn’t simply a great amp for its size, it’s a great amp, period.

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


No power cord, no problem





The Spark Mini’s built-in USB-charge battery delivers up to eight hours of uptime, fully freeing you from the restraints of the power cord! Wherever you go, the Spark Mini’s small size, lightweight design, and long-lasting battery allow it to easily follow, from jamming out around the house to tossing in a backpack for your next guitar lesson. Plus, when it’s time to get serious, the Spark Mini doubles as an audio interface, allowing you to directly hook your guitar up to your DAW of choice for effortless home recording.





Loaded with over 10,000 presets





One of the Spark Mini's most appealing features has to be its tone presets. In our tests at Sweetwater, it was ultra-quick to dial just about any tone we were feeling, from compressed country cleans to fire-breathing metal gains. App-based browsing makes it easy to dial in the tone you're searching for, and the Spark app's stunning amp, effect, and pedal emulations allow you to explore the entire sonic range of guitar tones!





Small amp, big sound





Don’t let the “Mini” in the name fool you; this amp boasts a big, big sound that defies its portable size! Sporting two angled speakers pushing 10-watts of power, the Spark Mini can take you from whisper-quiet bedroom-level practice volumes to a huge, surrounding punch that’s more than loud enough to cover impromptu jam sessions and street performances. Key to this formula is the Stealth Design Passive Radiator on the bottom side of the Spark Mini, allowing for a formidable bass response that would otherwise be impossible on an amplifier of this small stature! Plus, all the qualities that make the Spark Mini an exceptional guitar amp are equally beneficial when using this little box as a Bluetooth speaker, especially when jamming along with your favorite tracks.





A breakthrough way to practice, track, and learn music





A powerful playback system and a vast library of sounds is just half of what sets the Positive Grid Spark Mini apart. Through the app, you'll find countless ways to round out your music-making journey.





Smart Jam Live: Crank out a chord progression, and the Spark app will automatically accompany you with a bass guitar and drums. You don't even need to set a key or tempo ? just strum and go.


Multitrack recording: Got a riff you want to preserve or flesh out for further working? Connect the Spark amp to a computer via USB you're all set to layer guitar and bass tracks by the dozen if you so desire.


Chord recognition: Import songs from your Apple Music library, YouTube, or Spotify, and the Spark app feeds you a chord chart on the fly. It's the ultimate fakebook!


Riff training: Having trouble tracking that "Spanish Fly" intro run at concert tempo? The Spark app lets you slow down songs and take them at your pace until you can work them up to full speed.
