Not bad but unfortunately underwhelming
Overall a decent amp for guitar. Good tone, software and hardware work fine and it’s quite convenient, especially considering it’s battery powered.
One of the main issues are that the device lacks bass. It’s mid-treble heavy to the point that if you don’t adjust the EQ for all sources and presets the treble will overpower everything. And if you do want to get some bass, it will distort those frequencies in order to get them to any decent level.
Most importabtly, the AUX input has a delay of around 0.5 second because it goes through the Digital Signal Processor. While that is okay if you’re playing a backing track, it makes it not usable for tracking live devices. I believe that for 200 euros a basic functionality that has been present in most devices since forever, should also be available here. It is not too difficult or expensive to implement that.
Not terrible but honestly the Spark 40 or Spark 2 are worth the price difference if you’re already spending this much.

Some sort of noise bug... What the...
Look for the video by Scott Haskitt on the Spark Mini. This is ridiculous.
Most of the time when you play a note, you get some weird noise that just stops after some short period of time. This is not the regular noise of guitars or amplifiers, it is some weird additional noise. It seems the more reverb, delay and distortion you put on it, the less you can hear it. Of course, this is not a solution. This is also independent of the noise gate. You can't fix or remove it. Latest firmware.
Imagine you insert a noise-sample with 0 attack and release that lasts for one or two seconds over each note that you play. This is how it sounds.
Unacceptable.
