I bought the pedal and I like it. The lag time for turning on and off boost pedals it's not bad. Switching amps in the middle of a song the lag time is so bad, but all in all it was worth the money

The cab is excellent. Sounds fantastic. Lots of connection options.

I just purchased the cab and the power button on the cab has a short!

How'd it go???

the only thing I don't like about it is like 99% of the presets on tonecloud have the noisegate pumped up so high you have to lower or disable it every time, otherwise you can't play with any nuance or let notes ring lol. Mostly user made presets, the positivegrid ones seem to be lighter on the noise gate

Like everything in life, there's a learning curve. Kudos on posting the video, the internet tends to be a filthy place for those who are learning.

Beautiful Jazzmaster.

👌👍👀

I was considering the cab for my spark 40 until i tried playing my 40 through the stereo effects loop on my blackstar ID Core 100 and it works great and in stereo!

Are you kidding me ? Do nothing but talk ?😂

Can you hook the cab to the live?

👍

Forty something man surrounded by star war toys and wearing a SW tee shirt is a sure sign to take everything he says with a very small grain of salt.

blah blah blah

beginning of video, that dog said "There he goes turning that box on again, Im out"

The new one is also a P.A. system.

Americans talk too much. 5 minutes in and still waffling.

I m for one totally agree with you i can use a bit more BASS sound on my posi amp..SO....it was a BIG disappointment for me i both that amp for the HEAVY BASE sound welll NOT MINE may be i got a defective one..

Hi there , have the spark 40 into the cab. I like the tone of the spark40 much better then through the cab. It’s good and loud but there is something that didn’t go through to my ears. I wonder if I would mic the spark40 into the cab if I would get closer to hear what comes out of the spark40

Just picked one of these up this weekend because, being in the Midwest, the weather is turning way too nice to be sitting inside. In the past, I'd bring out a 1x12 and a multi-effects pedal, chords, extension cord, the whole mess. This year, i watched several vids about these mini Bluetooth amps and decided to give the Spark a shot. Found one local for $160, and got the Bluetooth foot pedal to go with. I really like the sounds I'm getting despite the size of it. I haven't checked how loud it can go because I found a volume level that works for me. I haven't played my full-size rig since i got this because i can play in front of the TV now lol. Foot switch was $109 but was a must-have for me. That was one of the major selling points since i haven't seen any others have the foot pedal option. And if the battery is dead, you don't have to wait for it to recharge to play it - just plug it in and it will power up while recharging.

Thank You, very good review!

update to my last comment. Like I said I sold the 40 and the cab. The 40 was great the cab not so much for my purpose with using a lot of backing tracks. The Live does now exactly what I expected it to be. The best product from the whole line... I love. The Cab unfortunately looks great but did not sound as good as I wished. I really did ... but the live did not dissapoitn at all. no regrets I sold the other stuff... but with the 40 or live u can not be wrong. But in reality the Live is all u will ever need for home or small gigs... keep jamming out there

This happens all the time. If your always waiting for the next thing you never have anything. Try building a PC

Does your Spark CAB hiss and or have constant wind noises even when not playing and also when you are playing? Mine does. It is so bad that I was pushed off of my church praise team band because of it. Someone in one of the FB Spark groups said the Positive Grid gave them a replacement. But I kind of wondering if I could get the Spark Live by returning the CAB & paying the difference to Positive Grid. But then there still seems to be issues with the Spark Live. I wish Positive Grid would fix their issues before selling their products/gear. I too have the AirStep SPK controller and am using it on the experimental mode.

Ok, im gonna stop you right there. Feel better about your setup. To create sound, you have to move air. And i know you know the bigger the speaker the better. Maybe the combined sq inch is more with the dual 6 inch. But, that 10 is going to move more air period. I would bet the new is going to sound smaller even though it is pushing 10W more power. And is that 10W RMS? Lol... Dont be sad. The new is more portable, and will sound like it too.

Thanks for your honesty and your thorough reasoning mate. I am still considering one of these. The access to the massive amount of effects and amp types is intriguing to me, but like you said, the threat of them one day pulling support for the amp is concerning… it’s between this and an Orange Crush or Orange Rocker for me. I love technology, but I’m always wary of it when it comes to guitars because I think practical effects are more expensive, but are at least dependable

I bought a Spark 40 I loved it and used it for almost 2 years before it started having issues with the media volume bottom then it would just stop making a sound or make a god awful like it was melting down or something but I liked it so much I bought another figuring it was from use but in a month the new one has all the same issues plus the tuner freezes everything up and more ugh. I wanted to buy the cab but now I hear it has quality issues and buzzes horribly. so that's out. I may try a live spark because I can play sing add a backing track and record but if this is a hunk of junk like the others I swear to the gods I'm going back to solid-state amps and pedals etc and never buy another positive grid product again

It looks nice bur £289 for a powered cab is just daft.

It is the same for me. I bought the Cab and then they announced the Live. I was really angry but I sold my 40 and the Cab to Go for the live. Biggest plus for me is other Channels to use a drum and looper pedal and mic and the EQ buttons. I feel the Cab and the 40 is very Heavy for Bass. Especially when u run Backing tracks with it. I also used the 40 to listen to music. With many Songs it just did not sound really well. But as soon as i get mine i will let u know if the change was worth it.

Same Story here. 3 Weeks After i bought the Cab The announed the Spark Live. I was so angry. But i had the 40 for quite a while… so i sold my 40 and Cab and go for the new Live now. For me at Home it has all i Need.

I'm enjoying your videos & plying. I have the 40 & considering buying the cab. Thanks

I got the mini coming in the mail today. Im hoping to eventually pick up a 100 watt orange crush amp later this year and, then connect it to my mini

Hi everybody, just got the Live and it’s good but I went to my buddy we both play guitar on the live and compared it to the cab. The cab sounds much better to our ears. More like a cabinet speaker more open while the live sounds direct compared more closed up. Since I heard it I can’t warm up to the Live anymore. Return is on me about 70 dollar. Think about that before you buy. No free return. Overall for someone using all the features of the amp I guess it’s good but if you only play guitar and you already have a spark40 get the cab you will thank me later.

Charlie prepping you to play live with distractions. Cool.

You have inspired me to bite the bullet and get the cab! I'm also getting the control switch and a volume pedal in front for ambient swells. Much appreciated sir!

Takes a little time to get used to a new rig but it's sounding good. Any videos of your band on TH-cam?

I think you are better off as well with them being separated. More flexible IMO plus you can use the FR cabinet for a separate pedal board. I strickly have been using my spark 40 to stream backing tracks with a separate 20 watt tube Amp. I really like the backing tracks available from the spark Amp.

How did go? How did it sound? I'm thinking of getting one for my spark 40 for worship.

Awesome

Two completely different products for completely different things.

Wow

How well did it work?

That’s just bad timing. It happens. You can always sell the cab to someone who needs it for their spark 40. And then sell the 40 to someone else. Then buy the Live? I do like the Positive Grid products… but my issue is why do they continually refuse to add a Looper to any of their amps or app? 🤔

Hablas mucho

I just got mine last week - took it Sunday to a Blues meet where I usually take my acoustic - it was awesome - I love this little amp - I'm so happy with it. The drummer was loud - but I could still hear my guitar.

So how did it go

I have a gretsch 5220 that I’ve put a bigsby b7 on and put in Filtertron pickups and I’ve decided to repaint the top on it in a sparkle finish and I will also have to fill the post holes that held the tail piece. I hope mine turns out as good as as yours did. That looks great 👍

I'm curious about spark but haven't yet bought any of there stuff

First thing I don't like is the solid feeling, all metal switch that is used on many high end guitar amplifiers. The second thing I don't like is, i bought a virtual amp that is essentially a computer program and it comes with a power supply like I have for my computer. Don't worry guys if your keeping score he's going to say at least one more crazy thing before he hits the 10 minute mark. This video is not going to be an exhaustive review, there will be no tones in this short non-exhaustive... holy crap over 36 minute review. Buddy get it together, plan a bit beforehand, maybe write up an outline to stay on track. Good luck, see you next year on your next video.
