The long-awaited successor to the #1 best-selling practice amp is finally making its way to guitarists around the world. The original Spark (40-Watt) paved the way for the ultra-portable Spark GO and the incredibly versatile Spark LIVE, but with all the things we’ve learned along the way, it was only appropriate to give our most beloved smart amp a major overhaul with Spark 2. Here’s an overview of what to expect!
A Whole New Sound
Spark 2 has been updated with an all-new speaker design featuring angled speakers for wider stereo imaging. Powered by Sonic IQ Computational Audio and an all-new HD amp modeling engine, Spark 2 delivers improved tone and 25% more volume, now boasting 50-Watts of power and double the processing capability. Similar to Spark LIVE, Spark 2 includes a dedicated audio chip that seamlessly integrates its physical speaker design and digital amp simulation, bringing unparalleled depth, clarity, and responsiveness to your playing.
Built-In Looper
Yes, you heard that right. Spark 2 has a looper built right into it. Create loops effortlessly with the intuitive onboard controls, allowing you to start, stop, and layer loops right on the amp. Whether you're practicing riffs, building solos, or composing songs, the onboard looper makes it simple to capture your creativity on the fly.
But there’s more. Inside the Spark app, you’ll find the Creative Groove Looper. Beyond simply creating loops, the Creative Groove Looper offers hundreds of drum tracks to jam along with. Spanning multiple genres, these drum tracks make looping not only more fun but also inspire you to get more creative with whatever you’re working on.
Spark AI (Beta)
Discover your perfect tone with the new Spark AI beta. Just describe the tone you’re imagining—whether it’s inspired by a specific artist, band, or a unique sound you’re dreaming of—and Spark AI will present you with multiple options to explore. The more you interact with it, the smarter it gets, making it easier than ever to find your ideal sound. And the best part? Spark AI will be available to use on all >Spark series amps.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Dave Tran dives into everything that’s new in Spark 2 from its upgraded build specs to optional battery power and more. Check out his walkthrough video here:
