Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The original Spark popularized the "smart" amp focused on practice and creativity. The Spark 2 continues this philosophy and advances it further within the Positive Grid lineup: power increased to 50 W, DSP twice as powerful, new HD amp models, stereo line outputs, and an ecosystem enriched with AI features. It establishes itself as the brand's all-in-one reference for advanced practice, home recording, and small stage formats.
Who This Amp Is For
Ideal for guitarists and bassists of all levels, the Spark 2 excels in apartments, home studios, rehearsals, and small venues (with mic'ing or via line outputs). Educators, content creators, and musicians who want to compose quickly will find a versatile partner here, both for working on intonation and rhythm and for capturing ideas ready to mix.
Features and Innovations
The new DSP delivers HD amp emulations, reworked speaker IRs, improved filters, integrated multiband compression, virtual bass reinforcement, and a widened stereo image. The built-in looper stands out with its realistic drum grooves, perfect for layering riffs and solos. Smart Jam generates a rhythm section that adapts to your playing, while Auto Chords displays your song's chords and allows looping of tricky passages at adjustable tempos. The "Spark AI" module (beta) fine-tunes your presets on demand. On the control side, the ecosystem includes the wireless footswitch Spark Control X and the Spark LINK system for truly cable-free setup. Connectivity includes stereo line outputs, USB audio, headphone out, and auxiliary input to integrate into any workflow.
Sound
Using
modeling with 2x4" full-range speakers, the Spark 2 covers a wide spectrum: crystal-clear cleans with comfortable headroom, punchy "British" crunches, tight modern distortions, natural acoustic voicings, and bass registers with present lows. Dynamics are controlled by multiband compression for a consistent sound at low volume or when playing hard, while the stereo imaging expands the perceived space for immersive delays and reverbs. The 33 amp models and 43 effects provide a comprehensive playground to shape your sonic identity.
