Positive Grid Shows New Dimensions in Guitar Amplification with Spark MINI

San Diego, CA-based Positive Grid introduced Spark MINI – a completely new concept in guitar amps, combining a battery-powered, portable combo that is also a Bluetooth speaker with enhanced DSP for "Multi-Dimensional Sound". The product was designed by the music software company that created the BIAS analog circuit emulation, Impulse Responses (IR) and convolution engine for guitar players. Positive Grid had already ventured into hardware, but this new portable combo is all the more surprising.

Celestion announced a new way for users to acquire and build upon their library of Impulse Responses, the company’s authentic digitally downloadable speaker tones. The new Pick & Mix option, which is available in combinations of either 3 or 5 cabinets from the company’s full range of IRs, offers complete flexibility in the way users can choose to build their personal IR library at a significant savings compared to purchasing individual IRs.

After releasing BIAS Amp modeler as an app for iOS, California-based software house Positive Grid decided to release BIAS Desktop as a plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows computers. A sign of the times? Anyway, the company’s Amp Matching technology, available on BIAS desktop will certainly be of great value in any studio.
