With the imminent arrival of the all-new Positive Grid Spark 2, it’s not that much of a surprise to see some great deals emerge on its predecessor. Alongside a bunch of their smart amps and accessories, PG has significantly sliced a chunk of change of the price of their all-conquering Spark 40 as part of their Labor Day sale, featuring deals of up to 40% off.
Just because there’s a new amp on the horizon doesn’t mean it isn’t worth investing in the Spark 40 now, as we recently explored when we put them head to head in our Positive Grid Spark 1 vs Spark 2 article. The original Spark still delivers great tones, excellent usability, and fantastic learning tools that will suit any player looking for a great practice amp.
Of course, the headline product in the sale is the Positive Grid Spark 40, which has gotten a hefty $55 discount in the Labor Day sale. If you add it to your basket it will also get you a free Spark travel bag worth $60, giving you a huge $115 saving overall. In our Positive Grid Spark review, we gave it a full five stars out of five thanks to its convincing tube tones, huge sound, and compact form factor and for us, it still holds up today.
If you want a new amp simulator then you’ll want to check out Positive Grid BIAS FX 2 Elite, which has an absolutely ginormous $120 reduction at the moment. It’s packed full of super accurate amp models, with loads of scope for tone tweaking whether that’s running stereo rigs or chaining together insane amounts of pedals to create some massive ambient soundscapes.
Finally, we had to give a shout-out to the awesome Spark Link wireless guitar system. Although it’s only a slight reduction with a $10 discount in the sale, it’s still a fantastic addition to an existing Spark amp, allowing you to keep your practice rig nice and tidy while still getting great tone with zero latency. In our Positive Grid Spark Link review, we praised it for its robust build quality, excellent range, and long-lasting battery life. Well worth it for existing Spark users even if it's only slightly less than full-price.
