I just didn't feel good about buying it sound unheard in person.


after trying several settings (for guitar) I was on the fence disappointed;
after trying a bass setting (for bass) I just turned it off and walked away.

I am having trouble reconciling the reviews with my own in person experience.


i have the spark 40 and absolutely love it, it has a got a bit of a learning curve and you do need to use the app to get the best out of it but as a home practice amp it gets used more than my custom built tube amp which says a lot because i am generally a tube amp snob when it comes to guitar (and probably own too many), it'll never replace my JTM45 but it's not designed to got head to head with an amp like that it's more a versatile practice tool but there is no one amp that rules them all so maybe it's just not the amp for you?
