Positive Grid Spark LINK Wireless Guitar System – Electric, Acoustic, Bass

So I originally bought one of these, and only got less than a day of use out of it. The power on the transmitter for the amp just kept cutting out. After trying to troubleshoot, I noticed the reset button was stuck inside the transmitter, which was killing the power as it was in a constant reset. I felt quite disappointed. However, after speaking with Amazon, they sent me a replacement the same day and I’ve had no issues as of yet. I love positive grid and I’m a big fan of the Spark amps. Been using this on my spark 2 and it’s been great. No latency at all, and the battery life will see you through any practice session! Item feels solid and well made, though I wouldn’t advise dropping it to test that! It’s definitely more on the expensive side, but worth the money to me. It’s also plenty small enough to fit in my Spark carry bag. I would definitely recommend this product if you own any gear from positive grid and like their stuff. I also wouldn’t advise you cheap out when buying a transmitter. I’ve owned a few in the past and they weren’t great for me, although they could’ve released better ones in recent years

This wireless system simply does what it says it does - easily, and very well. It linked up without any probs, and quietly got on with the job. I went for Positive Grid's product mostly because of their claim for low latency - there is no noticable delay here. The battery life is pretty close to Positive Grid's claim, too. All in all, very impressive. The only reservation I have is that the on/off button is very small and quite recessed, so not overly easy to operate, and, when doing so, your finger(s) tend to obscure the status LED. A pretty minor gripe in the overall scheme of things, though. It's fairly expensive - but then again, all these wireless systems are. At least this one works really well. It's great not being half strangled by a wandering cable !

Great piece of kit, the battery life isn’t great. A normal gig will knock you down to orange Fantastic sound quality, I have noticed a difference compared to my boss wireless. Super portable Next to no latency, good value for money. Just wish the battery was better

Excellent works really well, great product easy set up

Work brilliantly, use them with my Spark amps, last a few days with moderate use. Got a long range, unless you're playing Wembley stadium you won't have any issues. Can charge them both at the same time aswell which is handy. Highly recommended

This is nicely made, although lightweight by design. I do feel it could be very easily damaged if knocked while in use, so it's not really up to regular gigging. As mentioned by others, the indicator light and on/off switch are poorly located, so that one obscures the other - not a major issue. What IS a major issue is the sheer amount of white noise/hiss it produces. This is noticeable with low gain on a guitar amp, where you may feel it's acceptable (although significantly noisier than using a cord). With any kind of amp gain, it's completely unusable without a noise gate immediately after the receiver, and before the amp. And, of course, than only hides the hiss when the guitar is not being played. The actual sound quality behind this hiss is very good - crisp, dynamic and fairly faithful to your guitar signal (a slight brightening is present). I contacted Positive Grid to find out if this was faulty or otherwise out-of-spec, sending them an audio file, but wasn't advised there was a particular issue with my unit; i.e., it was performing as expected. The only amp I found that it would work acceptably with was, in fact, my Spark 2, which does I believe include a noise gate at the input. I returned mine for a refund, and ordered a cheaper replacement (the £46-ish Westshell one), which had the same hiss but with much reduced treble and dynamics compared to the Link. That has been returned, too. In my opinion, these systems would be fine for bass, electro acoustics/banjos and keyboards, but forget it for electric guitars unless you only play clean, or are prepared to use a noise gate (which for me compromises the simplicity intended by going to a cord-free setup). If you ARE going to try one of these systems, unless you have very low audio standards, I'd advise using a seller that has a good returns policy (like Amazon) to avoid disappointment.

Simply incredible. Ive been playing wireless long enough to remember when you used to have a battery pack connected to the strap and the unit connected to the amp was a big box with an aerial on. To have something like this in modern day is nothing short of miraculous, the size is incredible and very portable. Ive thoroughly enjoyed playing using this, and the range is fantastic. I havent encountered any harsh noises coming from the connection as others have. I think the sound quality is perfect. I believe this gives me more freedom of movement. The battery life is around 4 hours or there about which is more than enough time for a good jamming session or gig. The price is probably a bit more expensive than other lesser known brands available, I cant compare this to other brands. But if youre serious about the wireless aspect you cant go far wrong with this brand. They seem to be leading in the amp simulation game at the moment and i will certainly be investigating their other products.

E' il primo sistema wireless che acquisto e quindi non ho termini di paragone, se non quello con i cavi di qualità che utilizzo di solito. Io non sento alcuna differenza e la cosa mi ha stupito. Ci ho messo anni ad ottimizzare il mio piccolo studio per utilizzare i single coil senza rumori di fondo: ho traslato il PC principale - quello acceso H24 - in un angolo della stanza. E poi tanti accorgimenti e tentativi con cavi, pedali, amplificatori, interfacce, isolatori di massa e tanto altro. Tutto per eliminare qualsiasi rumore o ronzio. E ci sono riuscito. E al contempo ho sempre voluto utilizzare un sistema wireless, ma temevo fosse qualcosa di inadatto alle mie fissazioni e al tripudio di interferenze che avrebbe dovuto affrontare. Ho voluto provare il prodotto di Positive Grid perchè la qualità dei loro prodotti è sempre ottima. Non sono un fan dei loro software: sono anni luce da Neural o anche solo da S-Gear, ma dal lato hardware mi hanno stupito più di una volta. Lo Spark Mini è incredibile, per esempio. E ho pensato che se la Positive Grid lanciava un prodotto del genere in un mercato piuttosto affollato, doveva averlo preparato per bene. In effetti per ora sono molto soddisfatto. Efficacia di trasmissione, buoni i materiali, bello il design. La costruzione sembra robusta e l'utilizzo è semplice: tieni premuto il tasto per 3 secondi, si accendono e si sincronizzano. Per spegnere basta tenere premuto solo il trasmettitore e dopo 15 secondi il ricevitore si spegne per conto suo. Che altro dire... Perchè i jack non sono placcati oro? Bordino color oro, plastica superiore color oro... ci voleva poco di più per fare un prodotto dall'aspetto veramente premium. Comunque l'importante è altro e terrò aggiornata la recensione.

It is so nice having the freedom to move around without a cord dangling from the guitar to the Spark amp. I use the wireless system between my acoustic guitar and both the Spark Go and the Spark Edge amps. They work flawlessly and keep a good charge. I also like that the arrows build into the design of each wireless plug show which is for the guitar (arrows out) and which is for the amp (arrows in). They also include a two-plug USB-C cable to make it very easy to charge both wireless plugs from a single charging brick. I am very pleased with this setup and would recommend it to anyone wanting the freedom to go wireless with no hassle!

This has got to be one of the most straightforward and effective wireless system for guitars. Works confidently as advertised.

La latencia no se nota, la calidad del audio se mantiene, la batería podría durar más pero porque yo los uso en casa una hora como mucho y los cargo cuando ya me encuentro que se han descargado (pasan días) y en ese momento me molesta (pero sí, es culpa mía). Por lo demás, los recomiendo mucho.
