Positive Grid Spark Link Wireless Guitar System for Electric, Acoustic, Bass & More

Pleasantly surprised! This is the best wireless system. Bar none! It actually stays connected and the battery lasts over 5 hours on a single charge! I had been using line6, the G10 I believe. The line 6 was just trash and it was double the price. To be clear it works with ANY guitar and amp. It doesn’t have to be a spark!! It’s got its own frequency and stays connected even at a distance and beyond walls! I definitely recommend the spark link above ANY other system out there!!

Works great with my Spark 40w! If you want to know more, you can find me in the basement, slappin' da bass.

The replacement set came and worked immediately without issue. The performance has been great, even at longer distances with other electronics in the area to interfere. Sound is great, latency is low. Not sure I'm ready to trust them for a live performance, but for practice they are excellent.I was really excited about these, but the pair I received only generated noise and feedback. No sound from my guitar ever made it to the amp. I could have just as easily plugged them into a signpost and would have gotten the exact same result. Hopefully the replacement device will work.

This is my 2nd United of this brandI need to know how not to overcharge the battery...How long should I keep it charged

I bought this last fall and used it a lot. Both at home and live. Unfortunately the internal wiring failed last month. I've had other brands with bendable plugs fail before and this is no exception. I emailed customer support sent the invoice from Amazon and they sent me a brand new system new in the box. I'll be more careful with this one... no need to bend these back and forth so much. I had a peek inside the failed unit (no loss if I damaged it... but I didn't). It was indeed a failed cable, but I was impressed with the quality overall of the components. The wire was designed to move back and forth (like headphone wiring) and I believe most of these units last longer than mine did. It just did not for me. I'll buy another set someday... The low latency and sound quality it is worth it to me even if they wear out... buy an extra set for backup.

I ordered these after purchasing the Spark2 amplifier and they are great! light, easy to connect and easy to use. No latency that I can hear. Super fun to walk around with and play. Highly recommended for the Positive Grid system.

The one star on this review reflects both the item, and Positive Grid as a company.Unfortunately both have been dissapointing.Bottom line up front: The Link works OK for passive instruments, but active pickups killed mine, and given enough time, will probably kill yours.The one star is because there is still, a year later, no indication that I can see on the product description that gives you a heads-up that the system is not designed for active pickups.Otherwise the Link system is on par with Xvive, Lekato, etc., but not as good as the Boss WL-20, which may not be as pretty, but is an auto-on, low-latency pleasure to use.Also, if you do have active pickups, the Boss WL-20L is actually made to handle that. Took me a bit of research to find it, so passing it on.OK, the finer points:When my Links imploded, I discovered how very user un-friendly the process of getting in touch with Positive Grid customer support is. and BTW, there is only email support. No phone. Even after you have a verified case, no phone.Then, as in my case, after a lot of back and forth and repetition, if they accept a return, you will need to fill out an email form, complete with serial numbers and all of your same pertinent info that was actually originally on your order. and.. of course.. they will charge you at least $15 for shipping, and $20 re-stock fee as a thank you for going through their obstacle course of customer support. I have done it twice now, so consider this expert advice.For full context, in all I have now used 5 Spark products: Go, 40, Link, Edge, and BiasFX. Go blew out from one month of use with bass, 40 never had much for power, and Link outright failed.The shining star of the Spark line is the Edge, which is absolutely, objectively, fantastic. Massive, high quality sound from a very portable cordless PA. Awesome. I'm riddled with anxiety that it might break, and I have to deal with Positive Grid again.BiasFX is also pretty good imho.So that's a success rate of 2/5. 40%.. In school that's an F.For customer support: three requests, three fails. Definitely an F.Final advice: Whatever you buy from Positive GridA) Temper your expectations. Great ideas that are presented in artful design, but are inconsistently executed.B) Definitely get it through Amazon. That will be your one chance to circumvent the BS of Positive Grid customer support. If anything goes wrong, hope it goes wrong in time to return it through Amazon. Don't waste your effort going to the company.

So, it works. That is the good thing. As far as battery life goes, it could be better. It will work for an hour, maybe 2 before the lights start turning red for low battery. It seems to add interference when using hot single coil pickups. I have tried multiple settings with the spark amp that I am using, but it is fine with a cable, so no idea why that is.Pros:*Easy to use. Literally press the button, and you are done. no other settings.*Great for a practice setting, you can switch between guitars and pedals/amp quickly, and quietly for the most part.*Decent range. It does work from 20 or more feet away without issue. Walls seem to add inference, but that is expected.Cons:* Battery. First usage was great, lasted for hours. After that it is only working for about 2 hours at a time before being almost dead.* There is an issue with single coil pickups. I pick up a popping sound with high gain, and do not have the same issue with a cable. I have not had this happen with anything but single coils.*Price. There is nothing wrong with the price. The system works, and the priced is OK. However, there are other systems out there that do the same thing but cheaper.
