Jérémy Guézennec « Useful, flexible and efficient! »
Published on 04/06/14 at 06:40So to summarize the outset: TC Spark mini booster is a miniature version of the Spark, simply. We go from one to four knobs (four were they really necessary? ...) And car. We can always blame her lack of opportunities and things like that, but if you decide to buy a boost this may not be for the hack to bottom?
UTILIZATION
Usage is minimalist, which I think is a great quality: we want a boost, there is a boost. No need four knobs for it eventually. Here one gain knob / level that compliments the sound a bit beyond the first quarter: before it simply increases the volume. For between two, place a knob third provides a renewed sound and also a warm sound, and that's pretty cool.
At the foot is much nicer than the pedals that I used in the past, it is super soft and detects if you type or if you stay supported time the effect is not mine quite useful. You will understand: TC Electronic has not given its manual with Spark!
I now redo my pedalboard, and I think may have in raising all my other effects.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is at the rendezvous, but it depends mostly on the hardware you are using and also your game! I play on Mexican Jazzmaster VOX amp, combining it with a Pulsar EHX sometimes lacks punch: even without being a virtuoso it gives a certain extent at all! Nothing is distorted, as was surely been said Spark doing its job. Simple to possible. Finally, the sound is still quite subtle for a boost, it is not just made to send, you can play with finely.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this effect for a few days ... and it has already convinced me 100%. Alone, it has less interest, but coupled with other pedals it is a real killer! I must admit that my choice was made quickly (I like TC Electronic, still look pretty simple ...) and I do it again without hesitation. We can say that 79 € is quite a strong price, but the object seems very well made and designed intelligently and I think it's worth that price. Robust, direct, original, flexible and loyal. I do not see any big flaw objectively.
If you are unsure, ask yourself if you have already found your amp / guitar lacked strength, or one of your effects seemed soft ... if so, the Spark can be a good solution.
