Paul Gilbert is one of the most respected and celebrated guitar players in the world. Known for his virtuosic playing and shredding prowess, Gilbert is a co-founding member of rock band Mr. Big, who are currently on their “Big Finish” world tour, as well as a prolific solo artist and a fan-favorite master class instructor with ArtistWorks.
Commenting on his Spark MINI, he shares, "Spark MINI gives me firebreathing rock tone as a starting point. From there, I can use the collection of amp and pedal models to customize my own tones. From sparkling chorused clean, to distortion with perfect delay and reverb, to punchy blues with a touch of grit, Spark MINI delivers the goods!”

The Spark MINI has spatial audio, all-day battery power, smart app integration and Bluetooth audio streaming.
Angled, full-range stereo speakers offer multi-directional sound and channel separation for high-quality amplification or music streaming.

Users can also save their favorite functions to four of their own scenarios for easy access, and store up to a total of eight scenarios.
