Positive Grid Spark NEO
Positive Grid · amplifier
The Positive Grid Spark NEO is a member of the Spark modelling range built around the app integration the line is known for, including amp and effect models alongside practice features such as backing-track generation and chord recognition. It is a newer addition positioned separately from the Spark, Spark MINI and Spark GO. This entry carries no verified product listing, and independent coverage distinguishing the NEO's configuration from the rest of the range is limited, so this description does not assert wattage, format or feature specifics that sources do not establish.
