Positive Grid declares war on bad tone with its generous up to 30% off Black Friday sale - and yes, it includes the Spark 2, Spark Mini, and the new Bias X software

Positive Grid Spark 2 .

The official Black Friday Positive Grid deals are here! With a sizable up to 30% off in the official Black Friday sale, this is Positive Grid's biggest discount of the year. So, if you've been holding off on purchasing a new smart amp, clever guitar amp headphones, or software, now is the time.

Included in this mega sale is a generous $50 off the Spark 2. The Spark 2 is one of the best amps we've ever reviewed. With a built-in looper, an incredible range of amps and effects, and AI-powered tone generation, we heaped praise on it in our Positive Grid Spark 2 review.

One of our favorite portable practice amps has also been discounted in the sale, with a $50 reduction on the Positive Grid Spark Mini. The perfect combination of volume, portability, functionality, and a ridiculous amount of modeled tones to choose from, it's a brilliant bit of kit to have sitting on your desk for whenever inspiration strikes – in fact, a number of members of the Guitar World team have this amp sat on their desk for most of their home practice situations.

Nearly all of PG's smart amps and accessories are on sale, so it's well worth a browse if you're in the market for something new. Below are a few of our standouts.

What's so great about the Positive Grid Spark?

So, why do we talk about the Positive Grid Spark amp family so much? Well, it has turned the competitive practice amp market on its head. From the original model to the Spark Mini and Spark Go, and now the all-new Spark 2, players have been singing the praises of these versatile, smart amps since their release. We too love this high-tech, clever little amp, but we love it even more when there's a sizeable discount on offer.

The new Positive Grid Spark 2 is equipped with a bunch of amp models and FX ranging from utilities such as noise gates and EQ through overdrives, modulation, delay and reverb. What's more, you have access to thousands of preset tones via the Spark smart app. There's Bluetooth and USB on board, so jamming to your favorite music, hooking up wirelessly to the Spark app or connecting to your computer for recording is made easy. New for this latest model is a built-in looper and smart AI functionality, which enables you to generate the sound in your head with just a few prompts. It's seriously clever stuff.

Other incredible functions lie in the Spark's intelligent features, which are available across the Spark range. Smart Jam learns your playing style and automatically generates authentic bass and drum backing tracks for you to play over the top of. Meanwhile, the Auto Chords feature works with the Spark app to analyse any song you care to play through it, at which point it'll figure out the chords for you, allowing you to sit in with your favourite recordings with ease.

Where can I find Black Friday Positive Grid deals?

Positive Grid primarily sells direct, so most of the best offers will be live right there on the Positive Grid site.

They also have a store on Amazon where we’ve seen great deals in the past. It’s unlikely Amazon will outstrip Positive Grid in terms of the calibre of deals, but it’s always worth checking both before you commit and if you're a Prime member who is planning on putting a few other items in your basket, then it could be a savvy move to stick with Amazon.

That said, if you'd prefer not to give Amazon your cash, but still want a great Spark deal, it's good to know you have an alternative place to shop.
