Just got mine. Honestly I'm an intermediate got big amps but this little guy is gonna change my playing I am more excited than I've been in 20 yrs. Yes I suck comparing my self to anyone playing out but I'm loving it man I'm 54 now and finally I'm going to focus on my leads then ever before..4 kids house and family haven't played in 20 years but I'm going for it for myself and my 6 year old boy who's drumming..life can be good and usually I think it sucks. Thanks positive grid.
I’m on the shelf, is it all it’s cracked up to be? Playing for only a couple years and just a hobby.
Music is not a competition. Enjoy the time with your son. Best regards ;)
So what do you think now? Did it get you motivated to play lead better? I’m about to pull the trigger on buying one of these.
I'm in the same life situation and have been checking these things out. Going through YT, I'm not a fan of players who try too hard to be "personalities", this Steve Stine seems like a regular person and I've done the thing that I never do: like and subscribe! I'll be going through his vids to get me back up to speed.
My only concern about the Spark is: 5 years from now if the company goes out of business will it be a brick?
Thanks for your comment Scott, nice to know there are others in my situation.
Also, Steve, thanks for your content! You're a helluva player, can't wait to start learning again!
I have almost the exact same story except that I'm 69. I made my living for 25 years on the blues scene in Manhattan at night and working my guitar store during the day. I moved to floriduh in 2000 and forgot how to play! Nobody was a pro where I landed (Clearwater) Sad and depressing. I saw Darrel Braun demo the thing and for some reason, the musician in me woke up and decided I wasn't done yet. Can't wait to get into it!
Steve, thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to put this together for both those of us that are awaiting and those who need to see it in action.
This guy's just the best teacher there is.
After finding him randomly on TH-cam, he’s managed to funnel money out of my wallet and in to his. I don’t regret a single penny I’ve spent. He’s awesome
Hey Steve, thanks for the tutorial on the Spark amp. I have had my Spark amp for 7 months and have learned more from your video than I have anywhere else in the last 7 months. Thanks again!
I'm just pleased to see someone demo the smart jam backing track aspect.
I just got mine after 5 month back-order. While that was frustrating during all the stay at home Covid crap it was worth the wait. Excellent job running through the features. I learned a lot from it. I think for the price it is a great way to help me learn and practice.
Hey, Steve, I really appreciate your doing this video. My wife got me one for Christmas, and I've been hunting and pecking my way around it. Your tutorial was clear and honest, and I really appreciate you. It's going to help me get the most out of my practice time.
Steve...THANKS!! I just got my Spark amp yesterday and, being a true beginner, had no idea how to do much beyond turning it on. You really helped me to figure out how to find the various presets on the App and how to store them in the four "pre-set" buttons. I'm having a ton of fun exploring now!
Just such a genuine dude! Have followed Steve since I first discovered him! Just keep being you Steve, no paid promotions and affinity programs!
Thanks Steve :-) I went ahead and pre-ordered one after watching your video. What an impressive little amp. I am sure I will get a lot of positive progress on my playing using all the included features.
Best PG Spark Amp Demo yet - thank you!
Thanks Steve, I have my amp a few days and that has been really helpful in getting me up and running with the basics.
Only place I come to trust the reviews and the lessons. This fella along with Justin Guitar. Who needs a teacher with these legends about !
I ordered mine 4 months ago and just got it yesterday! I’m telling you it was definitely worth the wait! It is a badass amp. You definitely won’t be able to stop playing it once you get it the tones are unreal man and it puts out badass sound! I got it for about 235 it was the pre order but even if it was 300 I would get it! Order it ASAP you won’t be sorry!! Technology is beautiful haha
Awesome demo. Thank you for actually showing how the app works. I’m excited to get mine in the mail soon.
Thanks for rekindling my passion for The Call Steve, 80s band very under rated in my opinion, great sounds
Just received my amp today! Your video answers a plethora of questions. Much appreciated!
Got one for Christmas. Setup and operation are easier than I anticipated, really liking it so far.
Hi Steve, thanks for Taking the time to review this amp. I just ordered mine yesterday and can’t wait to get started.
I have found that now I get up in the morning and grab a guitar in my PJs and just start jamming to tunes, as opposed to waiting until I get ready, get to the studio, etc. it’s been motivating just just start playing in the morning while drinking coffee 😊
Steve, I always enjoy your vids. Thanks. I've been learning so much from you. You keep things simple.
Thank you Steve. Positive grid amp just got one and loving it. Thanks for explaining some of the features
Steve thanks for the review and I just wanted to say I really appreciate your very kind personality, and full on willingness to always help in anyway you can. Its refreshing to see, over the years I have been around quite a few artist or musicians who seem to have for whatever reason very highly inflated egos and are hard to get along with or honestly just plain assholes and you don't seem to be like that at all, and that's very cool indeed.
Just got my hands on my Spark Amp yesterday. It's absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing this video and putting it on my radar.
Still waiting on mine, but thank you! You're one of the best instructors ever!
Thank you for doing this video Steve I really appreciate it. I've had this Spark unit brand new in the box since Christmas waiting for the right time to crack into it which I'm finally getting ready to do so to get this primer on it was really seriously valuable 🤙🏼
I've had this a couple of years. Once you've set up your favourite sounds forget connecting to devices, it's distracting, this amp has its own fantastic sounds and modulation built in. Treat it like a normal amp and your good to go.
my friend just bought one and loves it,,,,i love the sound...i'm buying one real soon
I got mine a couple days, well described. I was surprised that I figured most of what you explained just playing with the a amp a few minutes… without the manual. Sound is plenty loud, even can get too loud for home practice. Sounds is amazing. I Recommend the Spark big time!
is it loud enough to play with a drummer????
Amplifiers have come a long way! That's a neat amp for sure!
Just ordered one while watching this, looks very useful. Thanks Steve!
Best demo video of this by far. Cant wait to get mine. Keep up the great work 👍👍
Thanks!
I just ordered one, and you made me satisfied with my purchase, just waiting for delivery
I just got one of these the other day. And seriously, it’s 100% worth it. Just for the fact that it makes me want to play way more.
Thank you Steve..very informative.
Smokin' demo at the beginning! WOW....Nice!
Really helpful and well done. You are a great teacher and creator. Thank you for doing this and for all your other tutorials!
Well explained. I understand what the amp can do now. Other demos always seem to rush through the amp's and the app's features.
Dude that break down at the end of the intro vid is killer!!!
Very informative video, Steve! Can't wait for mine to arrive!
Been taking my time on buying one of these. Watching a lot of vids on it. But I think you just convinced me to get one. Great comprehensive video.
Thanks Steve mine should be here soon. I would have never figured this out without your videos. Thanks again.
You are welcome 🙏
Thanks Steve. Great review. Just ordered amp after watching your vid.
I ordered mine on April 18th and received on July 23.... looking forward to checking it out!
Wow, Excellent intro Instrumental.
I purchased one of these last night and cant wait for it to arrive!
My Spark amp arrived yesterday. Your video is helping me learn more about how it all comes together.
Nice work Steve. Excellent illustration of the likely learning curve someone would experience. Looks super-impressive; got one arriving tomorrow! 👍😁
Getting excited....almost here! Preordered back in Nov.
What do think so far, worth it?
I ordered mine yesterday and it is coming tomorrow can't wait!
Man, your Ibanez collection makes me drool! That Jem is a thing of beauty especially with the work on the headstock.
It's on sale! thanks for the play through and review.
Thanks for the insight, Steve. I am a newbie to guitar and decided to buy a spark amp for my very first amp, and WOW, my head is spinning. I am amazed at how many tones and creations I can try to figure out while I am learning. My advice to all the newbies like me out there, give it a good hard go and don't be put off by the tech side of this little beast, it will actually give you more incentive to want to learn and play more.
Nice Shaune! , is it overwhelming with all the thousands of tones though? I’m a newbie myself.
Steve...you rock. Super helpful! Thanks.
Best SPARK video so far.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Man that is some supernatural shredding!
Just ordered one today. Has a lot of cool features .My neighbors will like the headphones jack .
Thanks steve i havent got mine yet its on pre order watch you channel all the time
Thank you so much for this upload! I just received my SPARK . It took 10 days to get here after I placed my order. I couldn't be happier with this unit! It is replacing my DigiTech iPB-10 which was a total disaster since inception! I hope Positive Grid finds a way to incorporate their Bias FX series into the SPARK, I know there is much talk about it. This would be an incredible merger! Again, thank you for all your pointers on the SPARK... Thumbs up from me as usual... Stay safe... Rico
Bias amp 2 and bias fx2 work on/in Bias Mini Guitar amplifier!
thanks for this review!! i'm definitely getting one now.
Thanks a bunch, man.
You've given an 80% , BUT, everyone else gave a 5. You just me enough to getting interested vs Bored or Overwhelmed.
Thanks
Great review, thank you so much Steve!
Great playing Steve.
Very cool stuff, love watching your videos, you make me wanna keep on really playing the electric guitar, Cool!! 👍😁
Sounds amazing - even better than expected. Worth double the price imo. Expect a wait - don't get it if you need something NOW. I ordered early Dec and received it late May. Well worth the wait, but I didn't need it right away, so...
Thank you Steve for showing me how the amp works I've been thinking about getting two of them but wasn't sold on it but you help me decide so Monday my Christmas shopping well be done. And Merry Christmas to you and your family. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ send many blessings to you and your family brother Amen.
Great DEMO! I am to receive mine next month. looking forward to it.
This is on my wish list for sure now thank you Steve!
I've had mine a few days now. Still figuring it all out too. I guess I need to make notes because it has so many voices, I play around then can't remember what I used 1 or 2 songs back!
Anyhow the potential is amazing, it's great fun, especially during lockdown. It's like having a ton of amps and pedals so the value is amazing, throw in the drums and everything else it's crazy. I think it's an aid to composition and all sorts. Will keep me busy anyhow.
I'd love them to do one with a battery for busking and a channel for a microphone but hey this is incredible value for home.
The cool thing is that the app is free and fully functional for all the jam track stuff - excellent!
Excellent!! Mine was delivered today . This is a very helpful tutorial . Thanks
That opening song was pure fire🫶🏽🤗
I just ordered my Spark. I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
arrived yet? thx
I trust Steve, I'm an advanced player. I go back from time to time for refreshing. This guy is hands down the best.
Ordered mine yesterday and your video was the reason👍!
Hey folks! Looks like there in stock and shipping now!! I ordered a week ago and came today!! Love this little guy!!!
I placed my order oct 14, got it oct 19... I'd say they fixed their supply and demand problems. Know a few people who also got them super fast. Love this thing.
Nice job Steve.
Great job Steve. I really appreciate the explanations of the features, something that P. Grid's documentation doesn't do.
Thanks for watching! :-)

Thank you, thank you!! I still am having difficulty figuring everything out and thus far haven't been able to do so. But you helped a bunch. I think my problem is, that I'm too old to try and learn all this new electronic elements. But thanks again!!
Nice overview, easy to understand. Thanks much.
Just ordered one and this was very informative. Good job.
Patiently awaiting for mine to arrive. It sounds good.
Good on ya for being patient. I ordered mine back in October/November, and my patience is wearing thin...
Did you guys get yours yet?
Wow, thanks for sharing this video!. really loved your commentary and detail with what you can do with amp+app!!
went and bought one!, amazing deal for so much awesomeness!
This unit is totally awesome for the cost. It is a Jam ON machine! Granted I am no pro. I've been playing for 40 yrs and this thing is is one of the top 5 buy's for my guitar playin ever.
excellent tutorial my man! Keep up the great work. thanks for all you are doing...
Thanks for doing this video. Got into the things I had questions about.
I just received mine it sits next to my easy chair and it works great
Great demo and playing.
On the fence during shut down.
New offer. I went for it. Says Shipped.
Should be fun.
I’ve been playing for over 45 years and have TONS of gear, ting back too 1976 until now, but I gotta’ tell ya’ this is a fantastic jam friend!
Great tones, effects, etc.
Just think if we had this kind of gear, back in the day! We’d ALL be so much better players… IMO.
LUV’n My Spark, but NEVER selling my analog gear, EVER!!!
Thanks for the video Steve and all the help and hard work for us all!
Best! ✌🏼
(PS Merry XMAS 🎄 🎅)
This is best demonstration I’ve seen yet. I want one. They should cut you a check for sales.
I do wish one thing more from the AWSOME unit. When you lay down a little grove, that you played, once analyzed, that what you played as a rhythm track would play through the unit along with the new bass & drums.
picked this up used on Reverb, I use it as a couch amp,, it’s a good little practice amp for the money
I have one and love it!
Thanks Steve, I think this is a pretty useful review.
This Amp may be what I need to practice.
I've gotta say this is making me want to buy it just to get back into regular practice and playing. Miss playing so much, it pisses me off some days. Those of you who actually have one, let me know how good you find it as a learning tool, please? Thanks in advance and God Bless You All!
Wowww AMP nice quality good sounds Sir.
Thanks for this, it was very helpful. I think I'll get one.
best vid of this amp!
I need this.. so cool.
