Re: PG Spark users thread
Had half an hour with it. Cool bit of kit. Was getting some interference from my phone coming through the Spark but this all but disappeared when I took the phone off charge (was sharing a 4-way with the charger - could that be the cause?).
Will it only work out chords of songs on YouTube or can I get it to listen to Spotify? Guess I've some tutorials to watch.
Sounds great as a Bluetooth speaker, eh?

Yeah the power supply isn't grounded so interference is possibleMolly wrote: ↑Tue Sep 08, 2020 9:06 pm Had half an hour with it. Cool bit of kit.

Haven't tried Spotify sorry, but yes great as a Bluetooth speaker, has some beef to it!

Re: PG Spark users thread
Just to answer my own earlier question, yes you can import songs from Spotify. You just need to make your playlists public.

Re: PG Spark users thread
Good to know, thanks Brian!!
Have you been making your own patches or using ones from the library? I've uploaded a few I made, a number of the ones I tried I didn't like so just made my own

Sold on a Buy Now. Putting my Fender 68 Custom in the lounge instead. That's more like it.

I work in IT so I rarely want to fuck about with apps and computers when I'm playing guitar. Katana is the perfect balance, I set it up once with a Laptop so it becomes the perfect amp for me. Then I just plug in, turn knobs and play.

Re: PG Spark users thread
At times this is exactly how I feel about the AX8. Setting up the amp is not bad... I don't do that too often. It's the pedals that bug me. That means firing up PC.sizzlingbadger wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:17 am I work in IT so I rarely want to fuck about with apps and computers when I'm playing guitar.

Re: PG Spark users thread
That's similar to me. The app was unstable and my patience ran out. Also, it needs an earth. Just too noisy. But mostly it's that when I get a chance to plug in it's generally fleeting so I really don't have time to fart around.sizzlingbadger wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:17 am I work in IT so I rarely want to fuck about with apps and computers when I'm playing guitar.

Re: PG Spark users thread
As an aside, if you're unsure about your Spark now seems a good time to sell. Anecdotally, they seem to be going for more than the cost of ordering a new one.

Re: PG Spark users thread
I’m enjoying mine. Has some really nice tones, and am especially surprised how good the fender cleans are.
It is a great late night practice tool, with the YouTube integration. Not a gigging amp, but a decent studio amp I think
