Positive Grid Announces Spark MINI Amplifier
Positive Grid has expanded its Spark series of amplifiers with the Spark MINI, a battery-powered amp with Bluetooth capabilities. They call the amp the “biggest smallest rig ever for electric guitar, acoustic or bass.”
The Spark MINI’s battery runs for up to eight hours of use. Its full-range stereo speakers are angled to offer multi-directional sound with channel separation. “Plus,” they add, “a downward-facing passive radiator pumps out big sonic power and a tight and punchy bass performance never before heard in an amp this size.”
The amp has three controls: a preset selector, an instrument channel volume, and a music channel volume. It has 33 onboard amp models and 43 effects that can be tweaked with the Spark app. It will come in black or pearl Tolex with different color grilles that can be removed and swapped out.
The Positive Grid Spark MINI will be available for pre-order in March with a TBD price point.

Why is it at such a high price? Like TP the rolls get smaller but you pay more!
Great specs, except for the missing “how much does the Spark Mini WEIGH in pounds?”
Excited to see the Spark MINI Amplifier launch! The features sound promising, and I love the portability aspect. Can’t wait to hear how it performs, especially with the built-in effects. Music on the go has never been easier!
Exciting news about the Spark MINI! The compact size and portability are perfect for jamming on the go. Can’t wait to see how it performs without the treble adjustments – hopefully it brings a unique tonal character!
