Topic: My New Spark Positive Grid amp

I just had to have this it is totally insane but I wanted it and do not regret it after it came today, I downloaded the presets and I was off and running it is an amazing tool and I hope anyone interested has the opportunity to try one out. I could go on and on but there are videos on youtube that demonstrate this amp smile

I've been thinking about a Pignose or Roland Cube.

Re: My New Spark Positive Grid amp

Ok I will see what I can put together using only the Spark amp I think I will shoot the video with m Sony music cam because I can run the sound out of the earphone plug on the spark directly into my camera I will get on it tomorrow I am waiting for a new tablet from Amazon it has bluetooth and a 7" screen, I already have the program downloaded on my Iphone the screen is a bit to small for my liking.

Re: My New Spark Positive Grid amp

Well it turned out the new tablet did not work out I was unable to download the software from Spark the tablet uses a android 6 and spark requires an android 8 or higher but the good news is Amazon agreed to let me return it and refund so it seems it will be a bit before I can download the software on a new tablet so it looks like I will have to do a video using the screen on my phone and I am kicking around some ideas how to present the video keep you informed smile     ###update### oct 10th I purchased another android tablet it will arrive tomorrow it has 8.1 more then enough to handle spark cant wait to download it and they accepted my request for returning the one i have and applying credit for it . I wanted to print out a return but my printer went on the fritz soooooo I ordered a new printer it will be delivered on the 14th of oct. hope nothing else breaks down its  putting a dent in my account. argg smile

Spark will walk circles around both and for a fraction of the cost

Did you play that stupid game where you spin for the discount ? I have played it everyday since you posted and never got a code for more than 10 % ( Which is ok)
I'm holding out for the 20%  - if I get that I would get this amp for $209   darn good deal I think - except - as I am reading many reviews  - loads of them say it has a huge annoyance in hum feedback because of improper grounding - a bad plug

Did you get that hum with yours ?
