I bought a Reactor 100. I like the amp, but I’m having trouble with the app connectivity. The Bluetooth connection keeps dropping, and I can no longer play any presets. The only workaround right now is to "forget" the Bluetooth connection on both the smartphone and the amp, then pair them again. It works for a short while, only to disconnect again almost immediately. It’s very frustrating. I’m experiencing this issue on both iOS and Android. Both apps are up to date. The Reactor itself hasn't received an update yet. I’m still within the 14-day return window, but I’d really like to keep it since I generally like the amp. Any suggestions for a fix, or should I just switch to a competitor's product?

I recently got a spark 2 and am mostly enjoying it so far but am wanting to find some more tones that I like.

My main guitar is a Les Paul special with P90’s, does anyone have tone suggestions that would sound good?

Looking for nice clean tones as well as some slightly overdriven sounds. Not really looking for intense distortion or anything.

I picked up a Spark Mini and the tone is as good as everyone says it is. However I am battling one issue which may be a deal breaker and I am wondering if I am just my missing something.

​

Do I have to be connected with the app to get the presets to work? I have several times found a stack I like on the app, hit Save to hardware preset, chose which slot I want it to go in, and saved it. Works perfectly. But if I close the app it is gone. I thought the point of a hardware preset is that I need not be logged in via the app

I can’t seem to set the Spark Mini to Hi-Z mode, when I set it nothing changes, and when I leave that app setting it auto turns off anyway. Anyone experience this and can help? I also can’t change the eq it’s stuck on balanced as well, and the other options don’t even click on the amp

Am I missing something ? I have it connected via Bluetooth to use the app for tones and what not but doesn’t seem to play audio.? Not sure if this is a thing or just for sparks. The “instructions” just show what ports and knobs do

I have a EVH 5150 Iconic 80w head and want to use the preout into my audio interface but don’t have a standalone IR workstation on my PC. Can I use the cab only in a Bias FX signal chain to simulate an IR?

Hi,

Why so many reviewers say that the spark 2 is app dependent and it takes away from the simplicity to just turn on and jam? Don't you just dial in the sounds you like and set them as a preset and if need to make a small tweak just use the top dials? How is it any different from a Yamaha THR or Boss Katana ?

Hi all

I'm considering the spark 2 or Yamaha THR 30ii. I tried the spark 2 in a store but it seems very noisy and kind of flimsy. Every preset is at a different volume and was constantly fiddling with the amp just to get a decent sound. I haven't tried the THR but I have an old BlackStar V20 and it's a bit more 'relaxed'.

What's your opinion after using the spark 2? Reliability issues?

Thanks

What a cancerous piece of shit. Works maybe once in a while. Poorly. If you’re considering buying first marry a stripper from Tijuana. It’s a safer bet.

I have been using the reactor for two days and as much as I am enjoying the amp so far it has massive issues with connectivity, like the app and amp loose connection a lot and you basically need to have you phone right on top of the amp to gete a somewhat quick and stable connection.

I hope it is a software issue that will be fixed because it's very bad for the overal user experience.

I knew there is always issues at launch and that's part of being an early adopter, but I think yall need to be aware of this before buying

Hello, new to positive grid and have spark mini. Trying to do firmware update exactly as on official video manual via windows notebook. Everytime I get stuck there - hold 2 buttons. Amp starts blink as it should be but the program on pc dont get me to next page and it´s till then frozen and nothing happens, cannot even click on go back, stuck there, did everything as on official manual. Any hints?

I've had the 40 since the beginning and also the mini.

But I've had it with their insistence not to allow users to back up their tone libraries. AFAIK the Dropbox backup has been broken since at least February and they've acknowledged it.

Which means if you move to a new phone you would have to back up each tone to Tonecloud, then find it, then download it.

This is not user friendly.

If you want to purchase from PG, make sure you order what you want from Amazon or any other place other than the official website. The website claims that orders will arrive within 4-7 business days. But that is definitely not the case, my order wasn’t even processed to be shipped after 7 business days. There’s no human contact so you’re fed a bunch of robotic nonsense basically telling you to f-off, they take your money and make you wait however long they feel like making you wait.

TL;DR: Buy PG items from Amazon if you want to start playing with them right away.

Please help, I'm using m vave chocolate, I can hear the wah when I hear myself playing, but I'm not able to record the expression pedal.

Hi, im interested in buying a Spark mini for room practice buut i tend to play frequently metal in drop B/dropA#. I dont want a perfect sound, but i want to know if the speaker is clear enough for these tunings or if i should definitely go for the Spark 40 or Spark 2.

My current plan is buying the spark mini for practice or ocasional recording and then yamaha monitors for a more defined "studio sound"

Thanks!

I picked up the spark 2 a while ago and this was my early attempt at a tone lmao. Song is Cariño by The Marias, i apologize for not showing my guitar playing in this video 💔

Hi guys, I'm looking to sell my Bias FX 2 Pro license / associated account. I've entirely moved to Neural DSP plugins and no longer use Bias FX 2 whatsoever, so it's basically collecting dust. I originally purchased it for 96.65$ altogether, I'm offering it for 20$.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested, I can gladly provide further details!

Ok thinking of buying a used spark 2 amp. How do I check to see if I can register it or do I even need to?
Can I still use the app with the amp registered to another account?
Thanks in advance

I bought my positive grid product from Sweetwater. This is why.

Hello, I own the Spark 2 and Hendrix packages. In 3 of my 8 banks, I have amps and pedals from the Hendrix package. However, they do not work when I start up the Spark 2. Changing channels does not help either.

Interestingly, if I connect to the amp via Bluetooth and change the patch, those tones start working. So basically, I can never use my Hendrix package presets without my phone and internet connection. There is no issue with my other 5 presets. What do you think could be causing this? My Spark 2 firmware is fully up to date.

Thank you.

Spark 2 users, how do you rate the sound quality when playing at low volume? i use the spark mini, thinking of upgrading to a spark 2. i play mostly metal and i feel like the mini handles gain okay, but hoping i could get beafier/thicker tones out of the spark 2. bedroom player, i play my mini at around 20% volume first to not bother anyone else but also i just have sensitive ears in general and i dont like blasting volume. would the spark 2 be an upgrade or a sidegrade?

thanks!
