Positive Grid Spark Mini Vai Portable Combo Amp – Burgundy
Top-level practice tools are a must to keep your chops razor sharp. This holds equally true for aspiring shredders and legendary virtuosos like Steve Vai, who is so enamored of his Spark Mini that he admits, “I never travel without this little friend.” Thus, Steve teamed up with Positive Grid to design the Positive Grid Spark Mini Vai Portable Combo Amp – Burgundy, a fine-tuned Spark Mini that is upgraded with exclusive aesthetics and a quartet of curated presets. Just like the original Mini, this little box shatters all expectations of what a portable practice amp is capable of, boasting a unique dual angled-speaker design that utilizes a personalized EQ, omnidirectional bass response, and custom damping to produce a tone to match amps several times the Mini’s size. More than 100,000 additional tones and presets are available via the Spark app, and you also get a plethora of practice tools, including the ability to play along, slow down, or loop tricky sections of your favorite songs for complete fingerboard mastery. Add in the built-in tuner, Bluetooth audio streaming capability, audio interface functionality, and a smattering of loops and backing tracks from Steve’s catalog, and the Spark Mini Vai is just about the perfect practice tool to sharpen your 6-string skills.
Superb Steve Vai-curated tones and backing tracks
To better suit Steve Vai’s signature style, the Spark Mini Vai wears a completely redesigned exterior. Instead of the standard black or white Tolex of the Spark Mini, the Spark Mini Vai features a deep red burgundy coat paired with a captivating and complex Mandala grille cloth. What’s more, this signature Spark also includes a matching Positive Grid burgundy cable emblazoned with Steve’s “Vai” logo.
In addition to these aesthetic upgrades, the Spark Mini Vai also boasts a collection of loops and backing tracks pulled from Steve’s rich catalog, as well as four new Steve Vai-curated presets:
- Fresh: This bright, clear voice forms the perfect clean tone to balance the Spark Vai Mini’s trio of dirty sounds.
- Mild: A lightly distorted tone that’s ideal for expressive, bluesy licks and other less extreme applications.
- Hot: Ideal for crunchy rock rhythms and hard-hitting rock leads, the Hot setting turns up the heat even further.
- Fire: Finally, Fire delivers a beautiful saturation that imbues legato leads and screaming solos with a soaring, vocal-like character.
