Spark 2 - My Thoughts and Experience

I have been using the Spark 2 for a month or so. Ordering was easy and delivery was very prompt, no complaints. Getting the Spark 2 going however was not quite as straight forward as YouTube reviews or instructions suggest but I got there in the end. All good. The apps and functions within the Spark 2 are above average with some better than others. Setting up patches and tones that can be achieved is a standout feature. A most disappointing issue was that a couple of days ago the unit would not turn on after having used it the night before. There was 20 VDC available at the power plug but noting would coax it to turn on. Reading some on-line advice indicated that a firmware upgrade was required. Having to download a file, extracting it and running the update was a disappointment. Not being able to turn the thing on after such a short period of ownership is a worry and diminishes my confidence in the ongoing reliability of Spark 2. Not good Positive Grid. It now seems to work OK but updating firmware for it to simply switch on is a downer. Too much fancy software? Anyhow, I would recommend the Spark 2 to those who have some IT familiarity. For those who do not, a straightforward analogue amp might be better. Oh, and the Spark 2 does actually sound good especially considering the small speakers. Well done Positive Grid on that score.

So many features and options for something so light and easy to carry.
