Positive Grid has kicked off 2025 with the introduction of the Spark Neo: a dedicated, headphone amp practice setup priced at $199 that comprises headphones, a 2.4GHz wireless transmitter and, of course, its Spark app for iOS and Android, which is home to amp and effects modeling and a host of other features that – applied to Positive Grid’s existing range of amps – have seen it take the ‘smart amp’ market by storm over the last few years.
