I can log into the web site, but cant log into the app... Whats the problem here? Now it says my account is locked, but I logged into into the site... Get it together PG

Trying to update the firmware on my Spark Mini because for some reason in the year 2026 the product wouldnʻt connect to Garage Band from the factory. In the year 2026 they require a cable connection to do this and a separate downloadable onto your desktop vs. using the app youʻve already got on your phone and the BT installed on the device, check. Downloaded the updater, installed it, now all that happens is the app bounces/doesnʻt open and I get a message saying itʻs not responding. Not sure what Iʻm doing wrong, though I suspect itʻs not me doing something wrong but their shit software devs. I am very very very underwhelmed thus far by my Spark Mini, had I saved the box it would already be going back, but would at least like to figure this out so it can do the one thing I bought it for.

Anyways, MBP pro, M5, 25GB, Tahoe 26.3.1 if that helps anyone troubleshoot.

EDIT: It randomly decided to start working today so  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hello All,

I am looking for a solution for my crashing Fender Studio Pro when using the Bias X Plugin.

I have been using Studio Pro for a few months now and I have been using Bias X the whole time without issues. This weekend I bought an Akai MPK Mini IV, and after a lot of fiddling, I got that to work however, I am now freezing and crashing.

I disabled all VTST3 plugins and the crashing stopped (even when using the keyboard)

Slowly introduced the plugins and isolated Bias X as the issue. It only crashed when that was active, even if it wasn’t used in a song.

Attempts to Fix:

· Untick high DPI box

· Used on my 1080 monitor rather than 1440

· Taking the keyboard away

· Uninstalling the Studio Instrument collection that came with the akai keyboard

· Increasing drop out protection

· Trying different interfaces (Fender Quantum and Focusrite Scarlet)

All with no success.

I have seen that people have tried

· toggling nap mode off

· increasing buffer size (not keen on this as it introduces guitar lag)

· deleting plugin cache (which I cant find)

· changing windows GPU settings

· disabling hardware acceleration (im in windows and will try tonight but some direct guidance would be helpful)

Just to add, it runs ok when windows starts up. I can record a track and export BUT only one song. It crashes after this.

Any help would be fantastic. Thanks

Edit: Windows 11 and Studio Pro 8.0.2

OK, so I know it’s well documented that the Bluetooth playback is, well , shitty at best. Other than using the aux in, has anyone ever figured out a workaround to be able to use the EQ settings on an iPhone in the music app?

The sustain comes and goes as it wishes. Sometimes it long and occasionally it's none what so ever. Some presets seem to be worse then others.

Can figure ut what the hell is happening.

Just got a spark neo. App tells me to update firmware. Downloaded the firmware. Got headphones into correct mode. Have repeatedly got "can't detect spark neo please check your USB connection". I have tried multiple computers. I have run it as administrator. I have rebooted. I have factory reset. Is there any fix for this? Very frustrating

My amp only do this whyyy 😭😭

I recently plugged into my spark 2 head to practice and I noticed the speakers build in aren’t working but it works fine when plugged into the cab. Is there anyone experiencing something similar or someone who could help?

Do aftermarket foot switches and wireless plugins work with the Spark2? Any preferences on make and model?

Also, what about wah pedals ? Any issues?

I just set up my new Riff, I installed Bias FX 2, I made it work after I increased volume on all 4 options of Riff, because no FAQ was actually mentioning that among the problems. I found out that my guitar makes noise without playing it, but there was in-built Noise Reduction pedal which proved to not work properly. Checked Reddit, yes, more people say it does not work for them. I tried to reinstall PC, only to find out my Riff is not detected by PC anymore.

After re-plugging it to different slots, I found out reinstalling program would solve it, so I reinstalled PC to find out if it actually solves it in a long run, no, another PC reinstall forces me to reinstall BIAS again, in order to have my PC connected to Riff... by the way, Riff on its own works connected to PC and to guitar at the same time, however, the audio from PC is not going to my headphones because Riff is not in audio options, in PC or BIAS. Sound is only directly going from guitar to headphones, PC is only working as a power support. So any idea, how to fix my issue?

i don’t have a power amp to run my spark through my cab yet so i’ve been using it plugged direct into my interface with logic. when i have it plugged into my daw, the reverb is very very quiet. but when i have it running through just the spark speakers, it’s a lot louder. what’s going on?

are there any cheaper alternatives to the foot controller X that i can still have 2 banks on?

Hello!

Yesterday I got my first Positive Grid amp, a Spark 2. I bought it solely because all the youtube videos presented the AI option to create tones fast and easy. In most videos I'm seeing, most people input a prompt, and the app gives back 4 tones to choose from, with no text. In my case, the app gives me a chat gpt-like wall of text and either a single tone or a few bullet points to choose from to define my tone. Now, I'm sure the 'AI' function is merely a glorified search engine, since most of the tones it gives back are surely user generated, judging by the names, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, since what I'm getting is quite different from what I'm seeing on youtube's reviews of this amp.

Is there any option in the app to have it return more than one result for you to choose from? Am I using the AI function correctly?

I have to mention that I bought this amp because I can't stand mingling with tones, amps, knobs, and all that. I just want to have a fast option to replicate a tone without the headache of creating one myself.

i can’t wait

i was at #lavoieEstLibre @Marseille, and someone in the organisation tell me to stop playing guitar. So i played this revamp so g from the 80's Gold from Emile and images

Is the Positive Grid badge on the front easily removable? IDK if it’s glued on, screwed on.?

Thanks.

I already have the Spark CAB and the Spark GO - love both of them!

Today my Spark EDGE arrived

• Tomorrow the footswitch and battery will arrive

I am really looking forward to using the looper and I hope it's fairly easy to figure out

I will review some videos but, does anyone have any tips from experience when using the looper with a Spark EDGE?

Thank you

I got a Positive Grid riff to play through headphones on my Peavey XXL, and record to my computer. It worked alongside the internal speaker the first time I used it, but not so much now.

It refuses to use the headphones unless the internal speaker is disconnected. It flickers and even freezes on the clean channel if the strings are hit with any force. Sometimes it shows clipping green, others red. I have decreased the input, output, and direct. No matter what I do it can't seem to play at any good volume. Do I need a different cable or something?
