POSITIVE GRID

POSITIVE GRID’S LINE of Spark smart amps has looked like a process of miniaturization over its five years of evolution. The original Spark 40-watt desktop amp led to the portable Spark Mini combo, which led to the pocket-sized Spark GO. In any form, Spark has given guitarists a huge range of virtual amps, cabinets and effects along with Smart Jam Live virtual jam partners, Auto Chords to instantly learn any song, Bluetooth-streamed music and more.

For the new Spark Live smart amp and PA system, Positive Grid has gone the opposite direction, creating a combo you can actually gig with. But to think of Spark Live as just a big version of its siblings would be a mistake. It’s a four-channel Swiss Army knife for electric and acoustic guitars, bass, vocals, stereo keyboards, drum machinesof sound enhancements, Live delivers a sonic punch and sounds good doing it.
