These vids are great...should be required viewing for all Spark owners. Dude has a great delivery and the info is easy to understand. The vids really help me get a handle on everything the app and amp are capable of.
Thanks, we're glad you're liking them!

Thanks for the info and I bought one 3 plus years ago could NOT Ever get my OR ANY GUITAR to play through the UNIT (EvERY THING ELSE WORKS Great !! )……….Maybe THIS Time ALL WILL WORK OUT FOR ME AND MY SPARK/APP AND AMP UNIT BOTH at the SAME TIME! !(WISH US ALL WELL ! ! )………THANK YOU ALL……..
@@positivegrid quick question I'm really enjoying the spark 40 amp but I'm wanting to use a straight up acoustic guitar do I need a cable or does the amp pick up the sound some other way to process it??
you need help
I'm STUNNED 😳. I just got my Spark Go today. Can't wait to get home and start jamming 😃
This is my first video on your channel. It is precise and well-organized, covering the details without a lot of blah-blah. I will watch it numerous times and check the others out as well. I also really appreciated your brief description of what each "pedal" does. Great explanation for a newbie like myself. Thank you!
nice vid, this guy is so cool and relaxing to listen to and speaks very well and straight to the point, you should keep him around to do a series of videos on features as well as playing and exploring tones.
That cool guy is GuitarZero2Hero. He makes awesome content on youtube and teaches learning guitar
@@Alsonean i was just wondering if he has a youtube channel of some sort and what a waste if he wasnt some teacher or content creator and here you go with a confirmation, nice! immediately subbed to him, i need to broaden my youtube guitarists knowledge lol i know just the very mainstream ones, thanks
@@BeowulfGaming My pleasure, wish you good luck

Just got the Spark - been playing for 25 years and this has reignited the fun. This dude is great and helped me get oriented to the settings.
great vids, i found your explanations to be super thorough and clear, was incredibly helpful...it's so rare to find vids with every detail covered in such a clear and thorough way, super grateful for this thanks!
I’ve had a spark 40 for a while now, and recently got the Mini for making practice more mobile. Watching this has made me realise how much I’m underusing the app, lots more for me to explore and he explains it very well without all the noise you get on other explanation videos. Cheers
Much appreciated both on content and presentation. Although other videos referenced cover the topic, I'd like to see Dave Tran cover those topics. His teaching style is superb.
Great job. Mine just arrived today. Super impressed with the flexibility of this little amp.
literally just bought one of these a couple of days ago, and your videos have been extremely helpful in getting me started having just watched the first couple. Nicely done and inspiring
Thanks for these updated videos. Much smoother experience. Getting better ALL the time@
I love how he kept a straight face when he engaged the vibrato pedal. I learned on the line 6 spider jam amp and it helped me a lot. I’d recommend the spark to beginner guitarists for sure. Amazing
I was thinking the same thing! There was a little smirk though at the end. Like, good luck with this one guys.... lol
There’s actually a cut there right after selecting vibrato, so maybe they needed a few takes 😂
This is the best instructional video EVER!!! I just received mine yesterday. The white looks amazing.
Thank you. I've been away from guitar for a while and I think this will be one of my first purchases.
Really an awesome video! Very well done. Your video is the first I have found that actually goes through the software capabilities step by step. Tons of videos on the amp itself, but you did a wonderful job on just the software. I subscribed and am looking forward to all your other content! Well done.
Thank you!
Greetings from Liverpool. Many thanks for doing this excellent video. I’m looking forward to using the amp to its full potential. Clear and concise, much appreciated
Great vid! Just what I was looking for. Step by step simple explanations of the features. Looking forward to seeing more.
Glad you liked it!
Great vids man!! Its like you're right there helping me set up and use my Spark. I really appreciate your info, and enjoy learning. THANKS!!
Thanks Dave - you have an awesome teaching technique. This 75 Yr old is still learning. I've just acquired a Spark amp and will watch your other tutorials + your other youtube guitar channels..
Just got the Mini, boy do I need these vids! Keep them coming please and Thank You!👍🤘
Thanks Dave. This is the advice I've been looking for since I got my Spark Go a couple of months ago! You teach it well.
i've just got my spark 40 and found this very nice tuto !! thank you !!
Thanks for posting this clearly communicated tutorial. This is a great walk-through and have me some reference points, adding to my anticipation, while I wait for my Spark Mini.
This is a brilliant video. Just bought the Spark Go as I work away a lot and wanted something I can travel with… very impressed with it so far 🤘🏼🥳
Just fantastic. Thanks so much for your time and effort. This has made all the difference to me. Tony
Huge thanks for such a concise and detailed introduction!
Thanks for these videos! Well done! I'll be referencing them often until I learn my way around.
Thank you for an excellent presentation of the features of the Spark amp.
Thanx so much for this video, it really helped me out learning how to use my new Spark Mini & especially the App. Clear concise instructions and examples, I especially loved watching his reaction while going thru the various FX pedals - yeah, not a real flanger/phaser fan either. Looking forward to checking out the other videos.
Really first class and sensible explanation his teaching videos are equally as good
Dave is really awesome. Great guy too.
Thanks for this! I’m horrible with electronics and you have made this so much easier. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing all your videos.
Very helpful vid Dave. Your delivery of the info is excellent which is such a big deal on YT. You did a great job and as a new Spark Go user the information you shared is very useful for me.. Thanks much.
Great information presented in an easy to follow format. Thank you!
Thanks man! Great intro to the Spark. Just got the Go and finding my way, your tutorial has helped me a lot!! New sub right here! Cheers!
Brilliant, I now understand my spark amp ....you rock !!!
Thank you I finally picked up a spark today very glad i found you! Subd
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to educate me on how to use my new Spark. Can wait to start practicing and getting better at playing my electric guitar 🎸
Just got my Spark 40, loving it as a beginner player.
Thanks for the guide. I was playing around an hour with the App, and could not figure out how to add / change an effect or amp. Now I know the double tap is neeeded
Great video, really helped a lot. Keep them coming
Nice job with these tutorials young man!
What a great video, just received mine today! So excite
Great video and very well presented. Top marks!
I sold a guy a Strat style all maple neck that he needed for a build he’s doing. He just happened to mention that he JUST had a Positive Grid Spark amp that he played through, like he was slumming it or something lol. I’d never heard of the amp, so quickly Googled it, and checked out some of the videos on the thing, including this one. I was COMPLETELY blown away by what I was hearing, and seeing! I couldn’t believe the sounds and features on this amazing amp! I’d say within an hour, probably less, I had ordered myself the new, Pearl version, as with the discounts offered by Amazon, everything evenened out. It didn’t cost any extra than if I’d bought the black version! Well, I’ve been tearing my hair out, waiting for it to arrive, which will be between Monday and Friday of next week. In the meantime, I’ve been watching every video I can find on the amp, and just keep getting more and more impressed/excited about the thing! Can’t wait until it arrives lol!!
It's almost there! Have a blast when it arrives. Welcome to the club Ron!
Excellent review!!! Thanks!😊
Amazing Clarity Thanks!
I just came here to work out how to change pedals, but stayed for the informative full tutorial 😊
Outstanding video. Thank you.
That was very helpful. Thank you.
I totally agree, very well done my friend!
excellent presentation...
Well done! Exactly what I wanted to know. 🙂
I never new you could change pedals by double tapping thank you!
Great job man
Very helpful video & easy to follow. I learnt quite a lot from it & it will certainly help me get more from my Spark Go device.
Thanks for the introduction of the spark and the information, 🙂🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Anytime!
Hi I'm just waiting on my spark amp, it's it possible that I can turn up the volume on my laptop if its not touchscreen laptop , thank you 😊
Dear Positive Grid. Thank you for the review. The amp and the app are both great and I'm enjoying them both very much. Could you please reveal some more information on how to create a SPARK account, Sign Up, Log In and so on.
Thank you for the awesome instructional video that is easy to understand. Will you be releasing a video that speaks to the differences between the Spark and the Spark Mini when it comes to the App? Thanks again!
Muchas gracias! Me fue muy útil
good information
Dave thank you for your excellent presentation; very concise and well done.
Can you tell me if I’ll be able to plug my Hohner Harp Blaster HB52 microphone into it to play my harp?
Hi thanks very detailed demo. I’m thinking of using this instead of my heavy pedalboard if I am just playing 3 songs on stage. Is it possible to use only the line output and not the main speaker? Like plugging it directly to mixer. We have IEM setup so I don’t need to hear the speaker.
Great video. Just got my Spark Go. I live in a flat and dont want to annoy the neighbours, hence the small amp. Good delivery without all the techno babble.
Any chance they could add customizable categories (beyond Pop, Blues, etc.) so that I could save presets for songs and not have to scroll through a list? (Or at least, is there a way to rearrange preset orders within a category?)
Great video! What if I search songs that are played using alternate tunings? Will the images show the tuning, as well?
Dear Positive Grid, thanks for the video. Just wondering if there is a possibility to add a functionality in the app in the future like a set list (by song or patch groups) with virtual buttons to change patches (e.g., like in Boss Katana Librarian app)? I envisage that the phone can be put on a mic stand with a clip-on stand at an appropriate height to change patches. This will be a very useful feature in a small live gig situation (with a lineout to PA), without having to buy a footswitch that allows only four presets.
Hi Dave, great vids. Is there a way to change the capo position from what is given when I'm using apple music and auto chords?
I want to group the presets for my different bands together. Is there any way to change the order of the presets in the Spark app? I have tried to find some way to do it but no one seems to know how. This would be a great feature for your next app update.
i got my Spark Mini four days ago, its graet! I play it with a Start and an e-ukulele, makes so much fun! But how can i arrange my favorite sounds in the app?🤔 Can i create own categories?
one thing I have noticed is that, with a phone and an iPad, sometimes you bluetooth audio spontaneously connects to the wrong device. I prefer the iPad, but the phone is more convenient when traveling. So just check both if there are connection issues.
I don't want to run my amp from a phone app (screen size for a major reason), but I wonder if I may have to give in and get a Spark anyway. Do you think they will ever come up with a Windows program?
Hi...How can we save the jam session we created. I would like to save that so i can play later and don have to recreate it. thanks for your response in advance
Hi, thanks for your overview. Just a simple but vital question; does it have anykind of lagging while jammin along? For example "Rocksmith" is unplayable to me because of lagging. I can't stand not even a nano second of lag - it's absolutely horrifying to me. I need total tightness
in the section where you went into saving tones, i downloaded the metallica one and saved it, vut i dont have a "hardware" option ...where is it? i only have from "all" to acoustic".
I've had my Spark 40 and Mini for almost a year now and I'm wondering how to get the new ODS 50 update. I've updated my firmware to the latest 1.7.4 and I update the iOS app on my phone but i still don't see the new amps or pedals. Out of all the videos you guys do on the Spark it would be great if someone just showed how to actually update the thing. Thanks
Do I need the Spark amp for the app?!
Would be the best if you simply could use the whole amp in an app. (without the actual amp)
This is very cool. How many of these features work on bass?
I see an orange cab below the amp head in the software, is that changeable and does it change tone?
Am I right in saying this means I wouldn’t have to use my fiddly little i rig adapter to pair up to the app like I currently do with the Tonebridge app? So I just get the spark amp, download the app, plug my cable from guitar to amp, pair up the Bluetooth using the app and hey presto? And I listen to what I’m playing through airpods?Please tell me I can I’m so sick of all the wires I have to use. I will literally buy this tomorrow if you can confirm these things for me
Hi, am I able to connect my tablet to the spark to adjust the settings etc and make use of the app but at the same time connect my laptop for the audio? I tried to do it but can't seem to connect both it's only one or the other
Hi. I’ve been seeing some reviews about the Spark Go. I like the way you explained things, very calm and relaxed. I’m aware the Spark Go app used TH-cam search engines. For the record, I’m from Mexico and I’m still wondering… Do you know if you can find any songs, including the Latin genres like Bolero, Son Cubano, and Cumbia? Thanks, cheers!
Number 3, press the power button to start Bluetooth pairing mode. I thought mine was defective.
So is the signal chain fixed? Can I have phaser and flanger in the same chain?
I recently got the Pearl Spark. I haven't tried the App yet but I notice that when I plug straight into the amp and not using the App, the electric distorted tones are very bassy ,very little high end even with the eq's treble all the way up and bass all the way down. I'm guessing that can all be fixed using the app?
If you've added the app to your phone, can you add it to another device like a tablet or are you limited to only 1?
Hi! I connected my iPhone to the spark go,tried to use the APP’s camera . But it’s sound likes record by IPhone’s microphone 😅
Does it work when I connect to the USB C? 9:42
For our hero
Is this direct pluggable into a recorder or DAW to record?
Does the Spark mini/app have a pitch shifter pedal effect?
Can you add more pedals to the chain? if so, how to? Thanks, master. Cheers to the community.
Help. When I tap create and choose a drummer the app shuts down and I have to restart it. Cant create my own tracks. everything else works? jam tracks ect?
So the Ipad was connected to the amp through bluetooth only right? There is no jack or wires of some sort? Sorry just trying to figureout things here before I possibly buy this
My Spark has problem with intermittent audio cut-off that lasts about 1 minute. Problem also occurs with USB connected to iMac as an interface. Downloaded update-sill has this problem Waiting for feedback.
Absolutely Zero customer Service. I have been trying to order a grounded power supply for days now. All I get in response is we are merging your tickets into one to avoid confusion. But no one has gotten back with me on how to order the grounded power supply for my spark 40
Can you use spark with line 6 ampli 150
But how do you see all the equipment (all noise gates, all compressors, etc.) when creating a new tone. Is there tone that contains all the options for each piece of equipment?
Nevermind. Looks like selecting the "Hey Jimi Solo" setting (Jimi Hendrix Experience add-in) will show all currently available equipment, so that will be my selection if I want to create a tone completely from scratch.
cant blue tooth pair. the audio works but I can't adjust sounds from the app
Hi there i try to connect my ipad pro with bias fx2 running on my spark amp but it wont work.
I connect the cable but it seems like something is missing. Do i need to connect between the ipad and amp an extra audio interface?
Ty mike
Hello, BIAS FX 2 and Spark do not work with each other. You'll need to use the Spark app with your Spark amp. Hope this answers your question - thanks!
Hello, can you tell me what kind of tablet you use?
Hello Sir! I am from Kathmandu Nepal and I want to buy Spark 40. Please let me know about the buying / ordering process from Nepal 🇳🇵☺️. Thanks. I am optimistic that I will get reply.
