With 2024 just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to set some fresh guitar goals. Whether you’re aiming to play more, sharpen your skills, or maybe even write your own music, the Spark 2 smart amp is here to help you out. This isn't just any amp—it’s loaded with features that’ll keep you motivated and excited about your progress all year long. Let’s dive into some common guitar resolutions and how Spark 2 can help you crush them in creative ways. 1. Resolution: Play More Often (and Have Fun Doing It) We all know the struggle—finding time to practice regularly can be tough. But with Spark 2, it’s not just about logging hours; it’s about making those hours super enjoyable. Jam Anytime with Smart JamDon’t have a plan when you pick up your guitar? No worries. Smart Jam listens to your playing and instantly creates a backing track that matches your vibe. It’s like having a band ready to jam with you, anytime you want. You just play, and Spark 2 handles the rest. Perfect for when you want to keep things spontaneous and fun. Learn New Songs with Auto ChordsEver wanted to play along with a song but couldn’t find the chords fast enough? With Auto Chords, Spark 2 shows you the real-time chords for millions of songs as you play along. Plus, you can loop tricky parts or slow them down to really nail those sections. It’s a huge time-saver and makes learning new tracks a breeze. 2. Resolution: Get Better at Improvisation Want to get more comfortable improvising? Whether it’s riffing on the blues or soloing over your favorite rock track, Spark 2 has some awesome tools to help. Custom Backing Tracks for Every Style The ToneCloud library is packed with backing tracks in all kinds of genres, from classic rock to smooth jazz. You can customize the tempo, key, and style to fit whatever you’re working on, making it easy to practice improvisation in a way that suits you. Blend Amp Tones for a Fuller Sound The dual amp modeling in Spark 2 lets you mix and match tones for some seriously cool effects. Want a clean, bright tone with a little edge? Or maybe a gritty overdrive layered with a lush reverb? You can easily switch things up and find the perfect combo for your next solo practice or jam session. 3. Resolution: Start Recording Your Own Music Maybe 2024 is the year you start recording your own tracks, or even just capture some of your favorite jams. Spark 2 makes it super easy to do. Built-In Audio Interface for Easy Recording Spark 2 works with your favorite recording software (like Logic Pro, Ableton, or Pro Tools), so you can plug in and start recording studio-quality tracks right away. Whether you’re laying down a simple rhythm part or experimenting with layered guitar harmonies, Spark 2 gives you the tools you need to sound your best. Phrase Trainer for Songwriting Got a solo or riff you’re working on? The Phrase Trainer lets you loop those tricky sections so you can practice them until they’re perfect. It’s a great way to experiment with different ideas or work out a killer solo for that new track you’re writing. 4. Resolution: Explore New Tones and Effects Tired of the same old sound? Spark 2 is like a playground for guitarists who want to explore new tones and effects without needing tons of pedals or gear. Discover Endless Tones on ToneCloud Spark 2 connects you to ToneCloud, where you’ll find thousands of custom tones from players around the world. Whether you’re chasing that perfect vintage rock sound, or you want to try something wild and experimental, there’s no shortage of inspiration. You can even create and upload your own presets to share with the community. Experiment with Advanced Effects Routing Spark 2 also lets you get creative with your effects by placing them anywhere in your signal chain. Want to add delay before the distortion for some trippy, unexpected results? Or maybe stack multiple modulations for a thick, ambient vibe? You’ve got the freedom to try it all and craft your own signature sound. 5. Resolution: Perform More (and Do It with Confidence) If one of your goals is to perform more often—whether it’s at a local open mic or with your band—Spark 2 is the perfect amp to have by your side. Compact and Powerful for Any Gig The Spark Control X footswitch lets you switch between tones and effects without having to bend over and mess with the amp mid-song. Just hit the footswitch, and you’re good to go. It’s perfect for live settings where you want to stay in the groove and keep the energy flowing. Hands-Free Control with Spark Control X Whether you’re practicing at home or performing on stage, Spark 2 is built to handle it all. It’s small enough to fit into any setup, but don’t let its size fool you—it packs a punch with enough power for live performances. Plus, its Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream backing tracks or tunes directly through the amp, making it easy to jam along or play to a crowd.

The Spark MINI has been a favorite of Steve Vai for quite some time. We’d often see him with it in the green room on tour, using it for quick practice sessions. So when we noticed him taking it everywhere—including one with his logo on the grille—we knew we had something special. That's when the idea of a Steve Vai signature model started brewing.

It’s been more than a few years since the release of the original Spark practice amp, and it’s been a wild ride, to say the least. After making huge waves in the ultra-portable guitar amp scene with the incredibly tiny Spark GO and pushing the boundaries of live performance with Spark LIVE, there was something that almost every guitarist with a Spark wanted: a built-in looper. So without further ado, let’s dive into the built-in looper included with the brand-new Spark 2. What is the Spark 2 Simple Looper? Those new buttons located on the top of Spark 2 aren’t just for show. They control the brand-new looper that is included. The Simple Looper is built right into Spark 2, and does exactly what you think it does—loops to your heart's content with two types of modes: Count-In and Punch-In modes. Count-In ModeIn this mode, you can use the Tap button to set a tempo, and Spark 2 will give you four beats before it starts recording your layer. It defaults at 120 bpm, but you can change by tapping the button or setting it in the Spark app. Once you have your base layer, you can overdub your next layer with any tone by hitting the record button again and playing over your original loop. Don’t like what you just recorded? Hit undo to start over again! Punch-In ModePunch-In mode does away with the metronome and starts recording the second you start playing. Once you’ve finished playing your first recording, just hit the stop button. And it’s as simple as that. You now have complete freedom to loop however you want. What is the Spark 2 Creative Groove Looper? The Spark 2 Creative Groove Looper is where the real fun begins. It includes hundreds of drum tracks that you can layer on top of for a complete full-band experience. Choose from a massive list of genre-spanning tracks that will fit any type of song or lick you can think of. Spark 2’s Creative Groove Looper can be accessed in the free Spark app, which also includes a huge library of amps and effects. With the Creative Groove Looper, your practice sessions will never be the same, inspiring you to play more and explore new musical ideas. Check out this demo of Spark 2’s looper here: Be first to get the latest about Spark 2. Already have the original Spark (40-Watt)?
