Just the job.
Great little practice amp and great app for the phone. Impressed that you can get any tune up and backing tracks etc. without having to pay extra.Great sound for a small unit and brilliant effects for the guitar sounds. Very reasonable price.👍

Best little practice amp if you are happy using your phone/tablet
For a small room amp or even for jamming with friends at home, this definitely fits that bill. The sound quality is really decent considering its small size. The app is very good and although I need to put on my strongest reading glasses to make any adjustments to the amp controls (using an iPhone 13 Pro Max) the standout for me is the cloud patches that have been submitted by the community if we're talking about the software.I have a Valeton GP200 which has great sound quality but I don't feel left wanting from the quality of the effects on the Spark MINI at all. They all sound great and the fact that you can wander off with this and use it anywhere is a game changer for me. I have event sat in bed with it and practiced some scales with it sitting on the bedside table. I bought a 5.8ghz wireless guitar transmitter/receiver and can wander around the room with a guitar strap on the Strat and really feel that it's representing the sound of the guitar accurately. It's louder than most people would need in a moderate space though I wouldn't take it to a band practice IF there was a real drum kit there, though I can't help but think it may actually do it's best to fit in volume wise.You can though buy a perfectly decent floor standing amp for the same price which will be louder with greater bass, but it likely won't offer the array of effects this offers, the IRs or the cloud patches that you get from other users. USB-C to my Mac Mini goes straight in to Logic X so it's a nice little audio interface to boot. I'll likely own this for many years to come..

Wow
Where do I start. Great sounding little amp. Battery lasts for a very long time. With the app, you can select from hundreds of pre-set sounds. It's just a great little companion amp.

Tiny but mighty
The initial setup of connecting it to a computer and updating the firmware is incredibly stressful and Positive Grid have done an awful job communicating with users. (Make sure to download audio driver and ou may have to uninstall, reboot and reinstall the driver) but once set up, connecting to the app is easy.Sound suite is incredible and It's a really easy to use piece of kit. It's not crazy loud but for its size it can scream. It's a practice amp and there's a ton of features to dig into. Well worth it despite a messy set up (thankfully it's very fast)

Very Impressive Small Amp - Excellent Value
I was a bit sceptical about the claims and the effectiveness of this amp especially given its compact size, but it really has far surpassed my expectations. It is only 10 watts, sits neatly on my desk, and is perfect for me. I would say it is suited to personal practice, home gatherings, and other small venues. It is ideal for my needs as I needed a small desk amp to use with my acoustic and electric guitars, and one which I could easily move if needed. This fit the brief brilliantly and its compact and lightweight design, along with its neat carrying handle, makes it extremely easy to move around.I did consider the smaller 5-watt Spark model and a wide range of rival options, but after long research into the qualities and capabilities of different amps, I decided that this one stood out from the crowd. I bought this with my own money, and I am happy to report that I have not been disappointed in any way.The Spark Mini also offers great potential for the more demanding too, with jamming options and the like, though these are not my personal area of interest. I prefer to sing and play solo, and this amplifier really works for me in that capacity.Even without using the free Spark app, the tone from the built-in options available on the amplifier case itself are lovely straight out of the box, but the free app provides a huge diversity of amplifier and effect options through what I believe to be a well-designed, simple to use interface.Overall, this amplifier is well worth the money I paid, and one I would happily recommend to any guitar enthusiast looking for a small, portable amplifier for personal use and small room gatherings. It is an excellent choice, and I would be happy to recommend it to anyone that has similar needs to myself.

Great little portable amp.
I was looking for a small portable amp with a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth that can handle bass guitar. Quite a specific set of requirements but this fits the bill. The app is excellent and the bass amps are good as well as the pedals and effects. As a Bluetooth speakers the sound quality is very good. Real depth and good dynamics. Only slight downside is it won't blow your socks off with volume. It feels well made. Really happy with it and loads of different uses. If I use it as an audio interface I'll add to this review.

easy to operate and sounds great
My second experience using spark.amps,first being the go model,i.just wanted something bigger than the go and also battery operated, its extremely solid and well made and I have to admit this little amp with all its online sounds available will most definitely make me pick up my guitar more which i.kind of lack the time and motivation to di.I play in a working band and I know it will i.prove my playing learning new material a lot quicker.

faulty on delivery
I had high hopes, but the amp was faulty on delivery. When I turned it on it made a loud buzzing noise, even with all dials turned to zero. Plugging in headphones sounded fine, so there was something wrong with the speaker wiring.I contacted their customer support, and after a 2 day wait someone got it touch to say that if I sent it to them they would send a new one within 2 weeks! Not impressed. I'm sending it back to amazon. I have read others saying customer support is poorI've read great reviews, and it looks good/ feels well made with great features- haven't decided if I'm brave enough to buy another....
