tc electronic Spark Mini Booster 5-stars Reviews

Tiny but powerful

I had a problem how to get louder volume when I play the guitar solos. Also I had not too much space in my pedalboard.

I wanted a booster pedal for this task in the effect loop of my Marshall JCM900 head.

I already knew TC Electronic products have a great quality and clean sound so my I have chosen this little monster.

It is rigid, solid and beautiful. The momentary switch is perfect, the PrimeTime option is amazing. I didn't regret buying this pedal at all. It gives a massive 20 dB boost, tho I only need around 6 dB boost. When the pedal is off it doesn't alter the original sound in any way thanks for the True Bypass circuit.

I've put the Spark Mini Booster in the amp's fx loop after the delay but before the reverb.

Nice boost

Really really good clean booster. It's great to bring up clean as well as driven parts. Only one pot and a really reduced size, you really don't need anything else. It adds a bit of colour, I don't know how to describe it but it's great. I use it at the end of my chain but it works pretty much anywhere.

The option of holding the switch to boost only a small part part is really handy and personally I use it a lot, it's a relieve to don't have to press the switch twice anymore (I'm lazy!).

It also works great taking a driven valve amp over the edge.

Love the pedal and love the company! I would buy this again, actually thinking about getting a second one to have two different boost volumes available.

TC electronic spark booster

This pedal does the job that its supposed to with no strings attached, its a clean boost that is compact and easy to use. It doesnt colour tone in any way, it just raises the volume depending on how much you crank up the single level knob. Great results at a great price in my opinion.

reduced to the max...

The TC Electonic Spark Mini is a Booster pedal which does exactly what it is meant to be without having to put in great efforts in order to get the results wanted.

The pedal is quite small (roughtly like 2 matchboxes glued together), so there are no problems fitting it on your fx-borad whereever you need it (mine is usually very packed with pedals bit the Spark seems to always find its place).

The case is solid metal with a big plastic knob which regulates the boost (aka a volume knob) and a standard TC switch. These are very light-going and feel softer than standard switches, so you don't have to use much force on it. Add an input and output as well as a power cable input and thats all about it.

Almost all, a very bright white LED indicates if the booster is on or of.

Don't be fooled by it's small size, the spark has lots of power and can boost your signal up to the moon.

It also doesn't add noise to your sound or changes it (at least I haven't heard any differences so far), so it's perfect. Just plug into your FX chain, set volume boost and you're done.

Awesome

Great compact clean boost pedal

Very well designed boost pedal which delivers a clean and transparent boost of up to 20 dB! The sound stays clean and uncolored throughout the boost making it ideal for boosting during solos or simply for switching between volumes (this is not a distortion pedal). The automatic Prime-Time function is also very useful allowing you to boost the signal only while the foot switch is held pressed down. This is a nice alternative to the usual latching switch on/off boost (which is also available on this pedal). The only thing it lacks is tone sculpting knobs which its bigger brother (the spark booster) has. However, for a boost pedal this has all you really need. The pedal is true bypass and extremely compact making it a great addition to any pedal board. This is my go-to boost pedal for 'everyday use'. I would highly recommend this nice and very well designed little pedal!

Makes every amp sound better. I have it on all the time, especially when using rental amps that might have tired tubes, it brings clarity and just a little sparkle to your clean sound. Very good to boost a distorded amp too.

Small on the pedalboard and light -always nice-, I highly recommand to try it, you might find what you didn't know you were missing.

TC Spark Mini

This is a great little pedal, well made, very good price. I was looking for something as a "Solo", "Lead sound" boost. I placed it in the front of the amp and on clean it was just great, however on my dirty channel it did give me a bit more grunt but not enough volume boost. I placed it as the last pedal in my effects loop and it's amazing. So easy to adjust, with-in minutes you can set it so your "Solo's" stands out. Awesome pedal. It's so nice to buy a pedal that does what you want it to do. BUY IT.
