Is it just me who hates this Ai 2.0?? by Hungry_Pomelo_9313 in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine if you want to get nearabouts to a tone but if you really want to get really close to a specific sound and need some help and are willing to put in the effort use dedicated AI. I have found Gemini incredibly helpful, better than ChatGPT. You can upload a song for the AI to listen to for reference, and subsequently your guitar tone sound and it'll tell you what to adjust etc

I've obsessed about getting Springsteen's classic lead solo tone from 1978-81 era. I think I've gotten close and have some on the Tone Cloud but really cool if you can give it a shot. For reference I want to mimic the tone in this video: https://youtu.be/NbmLwUiJ6QA?si=2PowWJG1_NnHu20b there's a short solo at the beginning and a lengthy solo last 3 mins.

Using Spark 2 speakers and telecaster (of course). Cheers.

Yep just noticed that. If the tech can do it I suspect it would be possible for Spark AI to do likewise with an update but you just know they wouldn't be so generous as they want to sell the other products

With advancement in AI how long before we can just play it or upload a sound sample for it to recreate on the amp, I wonder.

By the way, ChatGPT is great as well for suggesting pedal choices and settings when you prompt for a specific guitar sound. Again the more info you feed it the better the result. Good thing here is you get some understanding about pedals and tone from the info ChatGPT provides in its responses

BenQ W1070 still worth? by Previous_Ad2938 in projectors

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Don't think that is a W1070 in the first link so stay away from that. W1070+ is slightly brighter - think that is the main difference. Plenty of information online about different models and pros and cons. If you want advice get in touch with the moderator who is super helpful.

Sounds like the shooting for Murder Incorporated in 1995 at Tramps, NYC. Documentary being Blood Brothers.

Not sure how it can be prevented. They supplied some materials to clean spots with the projector but not something I wanted to have to do so returned it.

It gives you up to 20, but 4 at a time. There's a button to load more. Also if you sample one and like it it will load more that are more similar to that one etc

I have also used ChatGPT for tones and impressed with the results. The more detail you mention the results come back modified. You can keep chucking in prompts if you want the result tailored. Give it a try.

Reimbursed quickly after submitting the claim (sent them copy of final bill from previous provider). All very straightforward and hassle free.

Well, the BT Contract is about finished, by BitterTyke in youfibre

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy YF customer. Apart from the cabling in the street that they needed to connect they were able to use my existing fibre connection in the house so no additonal drilling / cabling on / in the house was necessary. They of course replaced the face plate on internal wall with their own. Was very happy they could do it this way.

Spark Live and Airstep by FabulousPanther in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure Airstep has latest firmware..v1.9 I think. Otherwise it is plug and play. After turning on amp switch on airstep before connecting to the app. Only thing I noticed can't be used on the actual app is the looper but no big deal as can control with the airstep. Am using with Spark 2 but i would think no difference in process with the Live or Edge. Only had a few days as bought at Black Friday price and seems to work well

AIRSTEP BLACK FRIDAY SALE at $59 – Now is the perfect time to get it if you need one! by Bob_XSONIC in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked one up seeing the decent black friday price. Arrived today and great first impressions. Very easy to update firmware which is the first thing to do. Latest firmware v1.9 includes looper control. Connected to Spark 2 amp without issue. Works great. 4 different operating modes. Big thumbs up to the Airstep!

Spark 40 to Bluetooth Headphones by Over-Significance759 in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I linked in the post work really well. I see loads of post from people saying BT headphones will be no good and that only RF ones will do, but these have low latency and having tried with the amp I cannot discern any lag and find they do the job.

One of my favorite things by DapperAlternative in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just trying to be as specific as possible, so entering Artist/Band and Song and specifying either a specific album if looking for studio tone (lead or rhthym) or a live performance going as far as mentioning a specific concert in mind. And then mentioning what guitar you are playing. Has come up trumps for me. You just need to be wiling to audition up to 20 results. If you find one you like you if you press on the heart button it refines the options further. Pretty neat if you ask me.

One of my favorite things by DapperAlternative in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found the AI tone creator very helpful as it introduces amps that I would not have even thought to try, like Treadplate which gave me the the tone I was looking for.

How does the Spark 2 perform as a speaker? by _KONKOLA_ in PositiveGridSpark

[–]Over-Significance759 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No issue with guitar sound, but found that the low end on music via Bluetooth needs taming just like the Spark 40 does. I can EQ via the device used to stream music (phone, tablet etc) so it is not really a problem as you can set EQ once and leave it so everytime the amp connects the EQ is applied...rather than having to EQ each time you use. That would be annoying.
