With the release of Spark 2, Positive Grid finally updated what was the go-to desktop guitar amp for the last few years. It’s been a long time coming, but for those who might have already purchased the original Positive Grid Spark (or Spark 1), or are perhaps new to the smart amp game and aren't sure which to choose, I wanted to weigh them up, side-by-side.
Spark 1 was something of a revelation when it first came out, enabling players to practice at low volumes, while allowing for a huge variety of tones. With the arrival of Spark 2, and the practice amp landscape having significantly changed largely due to the impact of Spark 1, now’s the perfect time to compare the two.
