Yes, here I am "soundly browbeating" our Fearless Leader over his mere mention of the new Spark amp:
.
Modeling & Bluetooth, like the Rumble, and lightweight, like the li'l foxy Voxy? Yeah, I really trashed it!
.
Oh, well, I stand corrected. I am no contemporary to His Excellency, Fearless Leader. I am but a humble lowly servant of His Most Esteemed Majesty, not worthy of so much as his gaze.
.
Fun, you say? Point of order: I still claim back surgery recuperative therapy in my Rumble Studio 40 purchase, as even my light 36.5 lb. Rumble 500 combo was still too heavy to lift at that time. (My story and I'm sticking to it!) And the ultralight Vox VX50BA failed to deliver its creamy, high gain nutubey tone-to-die-for via its true pre-EQ only DI. Fun, you say? Temporary disability prosthetic, says I. It wasn't so much that I wanted to get it, (despite the drool of the previous year), but I felt like I had to get it for the variety of tones in, or out, of the pre- and post-EQ DIs, and for multiple ease-of-use features like Bluetooth, phone app and wi-fi (and I found the one dealer who hadn't yet invoked the new price increase!). Fun, you say??? Well, yeah, there's that. But it was NOT the primary motivation for me, nor any other owners I am conversant with. The fun is purely a side effect of the serious study and practice that such devices promote.
Can I help it if the Spark was not on my radar in March last year? No. @minronnee, I wish you all the best with yours. But try not to have too much fun, will ya? Or, at least don't mention it here. These are serious tools for serious musicians, like you and I are.

Hmmmm, . . . .[the Spark is] A modeling amp that works with a phone app via Bluetooth? I already gots dat wit my Rumble Studio 40, which weighs more, but I think the 10" speaker over the two 4"s would be worth it. Still, it's an intriguing gadget. Like a cross between the Rumble Studio and the Vox VX50BA!

minronee, I believe you are the first I’ve seen here to show off one of these babies, [the Spark]. ... ... I brought up the [Spark] many moons ago and was soundly browbeaten by my contemporaries here. Let’s see what it does, minronmee. Have fun!

... ... There's a point where everyone wants to be a rock star (except GP, he already is [truth!]) ... ..., but I'd venture to guess most of the current Fender Stage/Studio/LT 25 combos are purchased for...fun. ... ...
