Positive Grid has officially announced the arrival of the Spark 2, the highly anticipated sequel to its popular modeling amp. This news comes with a major win for guitarists: the Spark 2 will include a built-in looper!
Addressing the Most Requested Feature
The original Spark amp revolutionized the home practice experience for guitarists. Praised for its seamless smartphone app integration and innovative features, it quickly became a top seller. However, one feature remained conspicuously absent – a looper. This omission became a sticking point for many users, especially as competitors began offering loopers in their own practice amps.
Positive Grid has clearly listened to its customers. By making the looper the centerpiece of its Spark 2 reveal, it has addressed a major user request.
Spark 2 Features a “Groove Looper”
Early teasers hint at a “Groove Looper” function, with app integration for backing tracks and a drum machine. The Spark 2’s control panel also showcases a dedicated record/dub button. While details like loop memory and maximum layers remain under wraps, including a looper is a significant upgrade.
