Conclusion

The Positive Grid Spark 2 is one of the most advanced and portable amplifiers in the market. Its light weight makes it the preferred product for traveling Bass Guitarists that perform live in events and enhances performance where sound quality is desired.

It’s a very good device, specially considering the price point, but I think you should compare it to the competition.
I think the killer features are:
1. Removable battery
2. Acceptable audio quality at low and high volumes
3. Stable app, the looper, tuner and recording functionaries are actually nice
4. Doubles as a speaker, you can play backing tracks through it, actually great
5. Great price point
6. Good build quality

Weaknesses:
1. Variety of pedals and effects is a cons for me, it’s not a complete and not expandable, you should not try to chase a tone with this, but the UX pushes you to do so to get a good sound. If it’s a practice amp, why the variety, if it’s meant to be able to replicate tones, give me a way to expand.
2. No built in wireless receiver (compared to yamaha thr), would have been so nice if they had it, I would be happy to pay a bit more to have that
3. Audio quality for anything other than playing guitar is not that good, also it’s not an FRFR, so you cannot model cabs or use it as an FRFR later on (I think it would have been an instant buy for me if it was an FRFR)
