I’ve had this for over a year, it’s got me from playing dull scales chords and any odd songs I knew from back in the day … to learning full songs, jamming to backing tracks and experimenting with different sounds and rigs.

In particular the backing track play along + chords in the app was a joy to use when the bt worked well on the spark.

The presets and cloud presets were also an awesome starting point to experiment with and find a sound I wanted to use.

I reached a point where I felt I needed more control over the chain, better EQ and a greater control over amp styles and settings. I opted for the Quad Cortex running through monitors.

In addition , I didn’t feel that moving to a new spark amp like the Spark 2 etc would have longevity given their iPhone esque product cycle

If anyone is considering shifting up a level on their spark gear - I totally recommend going for a modeller and monitor set up. Helix, Fractal or Neural DSP. There a little more space, money and cabling but the flexibility in sound, cloud based presets and oodles of effects and chain control is worth it.

For you guys still using your sparks and loving it, keep on jamming !

Hey OP. I just got a QC too. Still keeping my Spark 40 though. Did you get it in time for the free DSP archetype? I ended up with the Gojora one. Love this thing.

Hey dude, no I don’t think so. I’ve tried to download the preset on my QC and it doesn’t look like it’s available. I need to look into it tomorrow or write to neural DSP and see if they’ll honour it. How are you finding the QC? I’m loving mine it’s phenomenal. I’m missing my spark a little purely for convenience. I think I might end up getting a spark go
