The Positive Grid Spark40 is the best selling amp of last three years and although the reviews are generally favorable, there is one recurring issue that everybody seems to have with it: it’s too bassy! Here’s a simple fix.
An easy way to dial in whatever tone you’re looking for and get rid of any unwanted low end. It’s also the Spark’s best kept secret. I also take a look at the 3 newest amps from last year’s free firmware update. For step by step instructions on how to get the update, click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHjvc…. I hope you enjoy the video. Email me at [email protected] with any questions or feedback.

If you’re interested in buying the Spark, you can get it for $259 with this link https://amzn.to/3DJsFld I do make a couple of dollars (I honestly don’t know how much) but it doesn’t cost you any extra. Thanks so much.

    What are your Noise Gate and Compressor settings? Default from the Preset?

    Seems like we should get an extra slot in the effects chain if we have to use the EQ for almost every setup. Means I cannot also use chorus or other effects.

    Hallelujah. I’m looking forward to trying this myself. I got the spark before knowing about the overly bassy issue. I wonder if the spark mini suffers from this as well.
