What a great idea for a video! Ten different sounds, ten different guitars. I kinda want to steal this idea for my channel, but I won't out of respect. Very fun and entertaining video as always.
Hey Man, thanks for the video, so are you a fan of this amp now? I saw your first video and sounded like you effing hated it haha don’t blame you for being pissed about them charging your card AND taking forever to ship the product. Lame shit. Considering this as my practice amp and weighing it out:)
Omg - I didn’t mean to be a JM hater. I actually think he’s pretty cool but lots of folks don’t dig him. He shares my love of watches! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
If you need a practice amp small enough to fit on a shelf, the Spark is great. But if you don’t mind a slightly larger practice amp, I highly recommend the Fender GTX50. For only $80 more than the Spark, you get a lot more. The GTX50 has a far more powerful and clear 12” celestion speaker, rather than the small 4” speakers in the Spark. Also, since the GTX is made by Fender, their tone cloud has way more options, including some of the actual artists uploading the profiles they use on their songs, rather than just profiles created by some one guessing what the artist used. For example, Joe Bonamassa and Gary Clark Jr have uploaded their own profiles to the Fender tone cloud. Additionally, the GTX50 has some useful features that the Spark is missing, such as a spring reverb pedal, a looper, a foot switch jack, XLR outputs, and effects loop jack, etc. The Spark also forces you to always have delay and reverb after the amp, and overdrive and compression before the amp. But the GTX lets you put any pedal in any position in the chain that you want. But the biggest difference of all is that the GTX has an on amp display, so you can adjust any pedal setting right on the amp itself, without having to use the ipad app if you don’t want to. The Spark requires you to always use the app to adjust pedals.
I actually bought the GTX100 because of The Spark. (They were out of the 50’s). They are very similar, and I love them both. The Spark wins for size, portability, and just great functions. But the GTX may be the last amp I buy. The sounds and user interface are great. I don’t know why I would ever need anything else. It’s not portable, although not really heavy. It’s more amp than I’ll ever need. I keep it turned up 1/3 of the way, cause it’s loud, and my neighbors are old.(probably Alan’s age). I’d love to see the GTX format on a 15 or 20 watt. Maybe even smaller. It would be perfect for home use, kinda like The Spark. 🤷♂️
Hey brother. Have you looked at E flat flat or 432 hz versus 440 E ?? 432 is easier on the strings and stays in tune forever. 432 E is much easier on the human body as well!! A lot of older channels show the difference between the two. And I am a Christian and it's hard to get people to believe how healthy it is!! Love you brother
Thanks for chiming in! What I do here is sorta garbage but it's almost kinda decent at times! If you would be so charitable and kind as to subscribe, it really helps out more than you know and is absolutely free!
I must be in a bad mood or something and am aweful but how have you bought 10 different guitar’s without learning to play the first one first!? Joking, you can play, it just sounds like you don’t care enough about what you play as you play it! I’m being a monster so I’m sorry. I wish I had such an upbeat attitude.😅
Your comments about Tony Iommi couldn't be further from the truth. True, he suffered a tragedy where some of his finger were severed (at work) but he made extensions and plays quite well considering. He NEVER played a BC Rich nor a super Strat. To suggest he might play a super Strat is ludicrous. The closest he came was his Floyd-ed SG. Your joke about number fret markers and the missing fingers was lame. Stick to gear reviews.

Love these small desktop practice amps? If you do - here’s a whole playlist of them!

Thanks BGG!
Great video. Copped a few tones and LAUGHED my ass off!
Glad you enjoyed! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
ENGL fireball for the win. My go to setting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please help tell folks about GearGasms. It's small but growing fast!
Seems to be the one I always end up using too. Works for all my Metal needs.
Thank you! Always looking for great tones in the ToneCloud.
Glad you like them! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! It's free and it really, really helps the channel! Thanks!!!
Top stuff as usual Mr Barnes. 🎸🏴
Thank you kindly
Thank you! Nice work!😀
You’re welcome!
Cool vid brother 👍
I just got this amp so thanks alot
Awesome! I have a ton of Spark content! Welcome to the family!
Just got one of these over the weekend. I am loving it. My only complaint so far is there is no acoustic simulator pedals.
Welcome to the family!
There is an acoustic channel on all spark amps with a few different amps sims.
Really good video I enjoyed it!!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video and lots of laughs, I tried a few of these before. I think ill make some metal tones myself. Great idea🤘
I've got one up there - search for GearGasms!
I actually went through these last night. I liked the Brian May tone the best.
Yeah I need to get back to the Spark more!
I don't know any John Mayer, but I know a lot of ish 😂
Great vid!
Oh man that’s so cool to hear! Thanks
Bought 2, so i can play in stereo 🎸🇨🇦👍
Nice! Lol
Go for it you goofy Bastard. Love your vids! Great entertainment, keep up the good work!
Thanks Tim!
Fun video. Maybe that Sabbath delay would be useful for Heaven and Hell, but a giant reverb might be better.
lol - you might be right!

Yeah it’s great and I have a bunch more Spark content - there’s a whole playlist if you’re interested! 🎸🤘🏻
Does it come with preset's from country musicians like James Burton and Roy Nickels two of Merle Haggard lead guitar players
I’m sure there’s a list of presets online plus they have a cloud with user tones
Someone's a john mayer hater 😂 i laughed out loud when you imitated him.. Its actually spot on

0:24 I can tell right there he's NOT a fan of the Flying V😂
I could only do the top 6, and A bass tone. Building a tone is a big part of the fun but it’s still ok to download one
I'm lazy lol
Those sounds are pretty cool actually! And out of the box with no tweaking?
Yes, straight up as I brought them up on the screen.

Thanks! I haven’t but I’ll check it out!
@@GearGasms Thank you brother and take care!!
3 Metallica by Rocco is missing? any copies of it out there? great video ,new subscriber
I’ll have to check that one out! Welcome to the family!🎸
@@GearGasms Thanks. I believe I did find it. Now called Metallica (no 3) Thanks again
Awesome!
What method did you use to record the amp?
I think I was still micing it up back then. SM57 on the grill straight into Cubase
@@GearGasms thanks a lot!
You’re welcome! Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
🇱🇷👍Good video.
Thanks brother !
I recommend the Steve Stine High Gain
I'll have to check that out. I put up a tone - search GearGasms. It's just a start - want to get a full set of them up. thanks for the tip!
@@GearGasms Will do. All of Steve's tones are great. He's the teacher at Guitar Zoom online
Please do a good Ritchie Blackmore Woman From Tokyo or Man on the Silver Mountain Tone.
Thanks for chiming in! What I do here is sorta garbage but it's almost kinda decent at times! If you would be so charitable and kind as to subscribe, it really helps out more than you know and is absolutely free!
I would say you are a much better player than you think :-)
Thanks Joe!
How do I find the list of the tones ,or the Santana tone in my Spark amp ? Please
You search in the cloud in the app
@@GearGasms thank you !
Does more delay make it more better ? 🤔
Apparently lol
Ask George Lynch😂
Lol
Man if I didnt know any better I would of sworn David Gilmour was in the house.
I'm no stranger to sarcasm...lol
@@GearGasms I know man just goofin'
If I can’t laugh at myself then I’ve no business laughing at all!
great practicing tool....gonna have to get one...your fault
But they're cheap! lol
Wait, I’m not a Metallica guy but that sounded good, sorry for being so negative. I’ll stop trolling up your vid! Peace
No worries- I’m learning to slow down and not be so nervous when the camera is on
When all else fails, add a 50 gallon drum of delay.
Yeah and then some!
I dont know any of John Mayer's ish.
I'm the king of Ish though!
Tony I oh me....not I ah me....
I have a mental block for correct pronunciation! 🤓
Sir you have entirely too much gear 😢
And it’s getting worse! Along with my playing 🤓
I must be in a bad mood or something and am aweful but how have you bought 10 different guitar’s without learning to play the first one first!?
Joking, you can play, it just sounds like you don’t care enough about what you play as you play it! I’m being a monster so I’m sorry. I wish I had such an upbeat attitude.😅
I have 26 actually. It’s called spending more time making money than making music
First?
I really enjoy your show man! Its hilarious way to get Friday going. Todays Friday right?
It is. This time! lol - it's still pretty easy to be first around here but you still win some sort of prize, I would think? lol
@@GearGasms send me your mesa boogie
Man, you speak too much out of the topics, very long pauses, get to the points
I’ll go back 3 years and fix that for you

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The whole thing was a joke. Stick to watching gear reviews maybe? Comedy is not your thing. 🤓
@@GearGasms Duly noted and good advice for you, too. Stick to reviews. Humor is not your strong suit.
I found the guy who’s the most fun at parties.
I have more Tony Iommi amputee jokes coming up on Friday if you're down for some more fun!😀😀
