Rank #9 in Best Guitar Amps 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Spec Sheet Fights the Bullet
Positive Grid Spark GO 5W Ultra-Portable Amp
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Positive Grid Spark GO is number 9 in this guide. It is a 5-watt digital modelling amp and Bluetooth speaker in one, listed at £88.00 with 4.6 out of 5 from 4,303 ratings. Positive Grid calls it ultra-portable, and the cabinet dimensions support that: 12.4 cm deep, 8.4 cm wide, 4.3 cm high, in black plastic.
The speaker figure is where the listing stops adding up. The specifications claim a 15.24 cm speaker, which is six inches, while the cabinet is 12.4 cm deep and 8.4 cm wide — a driver that size does not fit in a box that size. The item weight is given as 1 g. And the tone count appears twice at two different values: the bullets offer 50,000+ tones from the ToneCloud community, while the item highlight on the same page says 100k+ tones. Where a number turns up twice at the same figure we give it credit — 5 watts appears in both the product name and the specification, so we take that one at face value. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This thing is insane, for use in a small to medium sized room or plugged into headphones. The app is cool and the amp is rugged and portable. However if you're looking to play in a larger sized room or outside then you should look for something with more power as speakers like this rely on natural room amplification.”
Verified purchase“Great little amp, all I could ever need for playing at home. The battery lasts for ages, the tone is fantastic, it doubles as a blue tooth speaker, you can download the set up for your favourite songs....Did I say I liked it?!!”

Questions people ask
How loud is the Positive Grid Spark GO?
The listing gives an output wattage of 5 Watts, and the name of the product says 5W as well. Positive Grid describes it as an ultra-portable amp and speaker.
Can a 15.24 cm speaker really be fitted?
The listing states a 15.24 cm speaker size and cabinet dimensions of 12.4 cm deep by 8.4 cm wide by 4.3 cm high. We have passed both numbers on exactly as written, without changing either.
Does the Positive Grid Spark GO run on batteries?
Yes, as far as the listing goes: the specifications list Battery Powered, and a bullet describes a USB-C rechargeable battery that lasts up to 8 hours. There is no separate battery capacity figure given for the Spark GO.
How many tones and effects does it come with?
The bullets say 33 amps, 43 effects and 50,000+ tones from the ToneCloud community, plus custom presets. The item highlight on the same listing says 100k+ tones, so the two figures do not match.
What is in the box with the Spark GO?
The listing gives the box contents as a removable protective sleeve, a reversible duo-tone strap, the Spark GO amplifier, a USB-C cable and a woven grille.
How much does the Positive Grid Spark GO weigh?
The item weight field on the listing says 1 g. We have repeated that figure as it appears rather than converting or correcting it.
