Positive Grid

A limited-edition, space-saving 40-watt combo amplifier with a host of familiar tone-shaping controls and dedicated effects knobs.

Positive Grid announces Spark Pearl, an exclusive limited version of the award-winning Spark smart practice guitar amp and app. Distinctively styled with snowy white tolex trimmed with gold piping and a contrast-stitched custom carrying strap, the amp delivers warm, full tone while adding a commanding and stylish presence to any creative space.


Spark Pearl includes all of the compelling smart features found in the original Spark amp and accompanying app that have inspired guitar players worldwide – including Smart Jam, Auto Chords and over 10,000 tones. Packed with stunning, customizable tones for electric, acoustic or bass guitar, Spark Pearl delivers easy access to engaging practice, jamming and recording experiences.

At its core, Spark Pearl is a powerful, yet space-saving 40 Watt combo amplifier with a host of familiar tone-shaping controls and dedicated effects knobs. In addition to being a full-featured guitar amp, Spark Pearl can also be used as a high definition Bluetooth speaker that's perfect for casual listening, streaming music and entertaining.

"After inspiring thousands of guitarists to jam at home with Spark, we are excited to introduce a very special version of the amp," remarks Laura B. Whitmore, Senior VP of Marketing at Positive Grid. "Spark Pearl is a beautiful but mighty addition to any space, and guitarists will be excited to plug in and jam with its friendly, interactive features."

Spark Pearl includes smart technology-driven features that offer guitarists of all genres a unique and fun way to spend more time enjoying the guitar. It's the perfect companion for players who want to learn new songs, jam at home, discover new tones or create and share unique tones of their own. With Spark Pearl and its accompanying app, players can call up song chords in real time, jam along with millions of songs, and create new sounds using realistic, virtual tube amps and effects. For added inspiration and convenience, Spark Pearl also offers fingertip-access to thousands of tones created by famous guitarists, session players, engineers and producers from around the world via Positive Grid's ToneCloud™.

When it's time to share new musical creations, Spark Pearl also functions as a convenient USB audio interface for easily recording ideas into a computer. It also comes bundled with PreSonus Studio One Prime recording software, allowing users to start recording right away.

An extremely limited quantity will be available starting in late April, and customers can take advantage of special pricing for early orders. Spark Pearl comes with a free, custom padded case for bringing it wherever musical inspiration strikes.
