    One of the biggest issues I have with sticking with practice is getting a tone that inspires me to play. That's a major reason why I pre-ordered one of these amps. If I can get something similar to a band I really like, and if I'm trying to learn their songs, the tone I'm hearing is just positive reinforcement. I don't really want to spend the time tackling the learning curve of using guitar VST's in a DAW.

    The delivery times are catching up. I ordered one in August and got it in under 3 weeks. Very cool amp. I just sold my THR10 and this is now taking it's place. It does a ton more and has better bass response than the Yamaha. Although the THR is a bit easier to use in some ways but I guess it's because I'm still learning the Spark.

  • @BrianOates
    @BrianOates 4 роки тому +7

    Try before you buy. Many people love these all in one units. To my ears there are subtle but detectable artifacts like crackling sounds in the distortion and a never fully clear clean sound. These things appear over time spent playing with them, once your ear picks them up you may have trouble ignoring the slight imperfections. I have bought top of the line state of the art app based processing units and found myself getting disappointed with their sound within weeks of using them.

    So everyone I've seen that shows how to use this app keeps showing how you can find cool songs to play along with or import your songs and it'll show you how to play then. Then the app just displays the chords and the reviewer plays the riffs his memorized over the chords. Pretty frustrating.

    This amp was amazing. I used it for four months and raved about it. One of my freinds even bought one for himself. I was so positive!
    Then one day I turned it on and HISSSSSSSSSSSS. What a horrible sound. Nothing worked. I tried all sorts of ways to make the noise go away, it wouldn't. I wrote to customer service, but got replys without answers or solutions. It's clearly a defective product from shoddy construction. This stuff happens, but just admit it guys! Not cool. Now I find myself with an unusable amp and a not very positive attitude towards the company.
    Do some research and you will see this is a common problem with these amps! Do not buy the product until it has been fixed!!!!

For example if I play U2 with lots of effects how would I switch between them while simultaneously using a backing track live?

    Remember how the original Pod way back in the late 90's pretty much did the same thing when teamed with it's excellent editor/librarian software and also the online portal to user-made tones. Just lacked power amp and speakers and some of the extra apps this has. And you would assume 20 + years of tweaking digital algorithms to create the sounds has improved, although recently their have been a spate of original Pod comparison vids and it still holds up decently particuarly in recordings.

    Lotta ifs with this amp if it's on preorder. Lotta questions...
    You can physically turn the amp's knobs and the software will display the changes you make. But, do the amp's knobs physically move if you make changes in the app?
    Also, the preset knob (the first one), aren't those first two selections just emulators of Bass and Acoustic guitars, not just recommended settings for when you plug in an Acoustic or Bass, but for when you plug in any instrument? I mean, I'm pretty sure neither my acoustic or Fishman sound-hole pickup has a chip in it to tell the amp what they are, considering those were manufactured over 30 and 10 years ago respectively. I'm pretty sure it modifies the sound of anything that sends a signal to it. Example: I think I could patch in a mic to modify a singer's vocal tracks.
    Oooohhh, Question... if I did plug in a mic, does it have an emulator for a Healy Talk-Box so I can perform The Crüe's - Kickstart, or Frampton's - Do you feel? I'm really tired of the smell when cleaning out the tube and spit-valve on my classic unit if I forgot to brush my teeth before my last practice session. 😳

    This is only amp that tweeked my interest from my katana air
    thr and vox too limited.
    Just a couple of things missing thst means i wouldnt bother
    1. cant change sound chain to get any sound i want.
    2 no in depth eq like parametric to fine tune.
    3. only 1 effect pedal at time along with a drive.
    4. Not wireless which i love on my air
    But close to msking me get one to side by side agsinst my air as i did eith thr30 and vox which i got rid of both.
    I would even forgo one less pedal slot on this if it had a parametric eq that like the air could be moved sbout to fine tune sound and be able to alter sound chain and if it was wireless and no using a 3rd party isnt as good as being able to just slot transmitter into sir and its charging.
    But what i love about this amp is same as air that any downloaded presets are put on in component form and can be used as a starting point unlike thr30 and vox which are literslly click a sound presets.
    So p. Grid add a parametric eq. Add sound chain moving and an in built wireless and i would get one

Do you need any or all the bias plugins to utilize all presets or will they be grayed out if you do not have the extra plugins?

As it stands it's already $270 so to factor in possible import duties would make this even more expensive. Think I'll just stick with plugging my guitars into my PC and use BiasFX 2.

      Yeah no problem mate! I just think that something like this new bias/amp/app can be so frustrating in that if you forget one little thing, in the list of things you need to do in order to get up and running (eg.…I had everything A-ok but couldn’t get sound from the app....turns out it was the small volume knob which I had overlooked, was still on 0 setting) then it becomes frustrating, and you what people are like, they put a face to it etc etc. It’s handy to have someone to go through the same thing though so as to solve it together, definitely a plus. Being stuck here (Cheltenham) we’re back on lockdown so it’s the perfect time for spark! Keep safe buddy...Rob.

    There seem to be no unbiased reviews of this product. EVERY "review" "demo" "unboxing" "first look" etc. are ALL sponsored. Anyone else tired of UA-camrs intentionally misleading their audiences by pretending to give an unbiased review while doing nothing more than hiding some #sponsored text deep in the description? (and some don't even do that) I could care less if they want to do a sponsored video to make money if they admit it's an ad and NOT an unbiased review.
