Watch
Positive Grid's own video for the Spark 2 is built around the looper, which is the feature that sets it apart from the first Spark.
Why it matters
It is a redesign of Positive Grid's original Spark with double the processing power and 25% more output, and it adds a built-in looper and Creative Groove Looper drum tracks for practice. The companion app carries 33 amp models and 43 effects plus Spark AI in beta for tone matching. Sonic IQ Computational Audio runs the 2x4 in angled stereo speakers, and a rechargeable battery pack is available as an option.
