Positive Grid Spark MINI Steve Vai Edition
Positive Grid · amplifier
The Positive Grid Spark MINI Steve Vai Edition is a signature version of the 10-watt battery-powered portable Spark, produced in collaboration with Steve Vai. Signature editions of this kind typically pair distinct cosmetics with curated preset tones drawn from the artist's sounds rather than altering the hardware. The underlying amplifier is the Spark MINI: app-integrated modelling with backing-track generation and chord recognition, battery powered and portable. Independent coverage separating this edition from the standard Spark MINI is limited, so specific differences should be confirmed with the seller.
