Not all that long ago, guitar practice amps were just that – small, basic, standalone boxes with one or two channels, and a rudimentary reverb on-board – functional, but limited. However, recent years have ushered in a new era of ‘smart’ amps designed for home use featuring contemporary styling, expanded tonal options and comprehensive connectivity.
Leading the charge is arguably the Positive Grid Spark Mini: a small-format, portable practice amp packing in a lot of features including smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and handy jamming tools such as its Smart Jam (which analyses your playing to create a custom jam track) and Auto Chords (which can listen to a piece of music and figure out a chord chart for you).
