A great, simple, clean boost with a bonus feature

Zef 17.02.2022

The Spark Mini is a great clean boost, without any perceivable sound colouring or noise. The build is solid, the knob is comfortable and the switch is soft (without that clunk that most oldschool switches have), so it doesn't hurt when you step on it only wearing socks. Works fine both as a boost before my preamp to raise the gain, and in the FX loop as a volume boost. Comes with self-adhesing rubber feet and a tc electronic sticker. Looks quite cool, too.

The switch also has a hold feature (tc electronic call it PrimeTime), meaning that if you press and release the switch it works as usual, but if you hold the switch down for more than a moment the pedal switches off when you take your foot off. Very useful if you only want to accentuate a specific part.

The only downside is that battery isn't an option, but I don't know how you would do that in this size.

Great pedal in a small form factor and for a low price.

Kicking myself I never got this earlier - has a definite "Wow! factor"

Anonymous 20.09.2016

I never really thought about a booster pedal before. I was always drawn to the 'fancy' pedals to change the sound and could not really see the point of the booster pedals.

Plugged this in and straight away was hit with the "Wow! factor", the guitar signal I know was boosted but sounded so much more resonant and clear and also made the rest of the effect box chain sound so much better, which makes sense as it is giving so much more signals for the other pedals to work with.

Not sounding like I am overstating it, but it was like plugging in new guitars. Without it, straight away the guitars sound much duller and lifeless. I could not imagine not using one of these now.

I was so impressed I also bought it's big brother and use this mini-pedal mid-chain having the big brother direct from the guitar driving the chain and now getting a sound I could only have dreamed of and for not a lot of money.

Can only highly recommend this, you have to get one ..... or two.

Always-on in my pedalboard

nagraj 08.05.2020

How do I use it?
I keep this booster as first in my pedalboard chain - always-on (40%). It makes my pedals / amp more predictable when I turn on other overdrives / switch amp channel - there is no unexpected increase of volume or gain of effects.

And still - even with this booster - amp reacts very well when I change volume in my guitar.

It's transparent - does not change the character of amplifier - but makes the sound richer and nicer. Great and cheap pedal. It has only one knob - but you don't need more!

A must-have

portuguesepie 08.03.2019

Only recently have I been turned on to the world of boosters and their absolute usefulness. Interested enough, I bought the spark mini booster.

Initially, I liked it and finally understood why so many guitar players laud the booster and how it is so useful in a pedalboard. Now, 6 months later, I love it. And usually this happens the opposite way - my love for a pedal starts to decline as the novelty factor wears out. But with this unit, I've come to appreciate it even more: its transparency, its great range and one-knob versatility, its adorable size and interesting looks. It's just an all round great pedal.

One of the smartest additions I have ever made to my pedalboard, which has yet to present a single problem. Definitely recommended!
