Buying analysis
Where the Spark LINK fits
Spark LINK uses standard quarter-inch connections and works with conventional guitar amplifiers and pedalboards. Positive Grid publishes latency below 3 ms.
There is no active/passive switch, so owners of unusually hot instruments should verify headroom. Pairing is automatic for a passive guitar into an amp or compact pedalboard.
