You can now save over $50 on Positive Grid’s Spark MINI Vai portable amplifier thanks to Sweetwater.
The 10-watt amp, developed in collaboration with Steve Vai, was launched in 2024 and reflects the “unique tone and style” of Vai’s influential work. It’s ultra-compact and battery-powered, featuring a host of features requested by Vai himself, including four onboard presets and an exterior design that oozes Vai character.

Just like the original, the Vai MINI hosts a dual angled-speaker design that utilises a personalised EQ, omnidirectional bass response, and custom damping to produce a tone to match amps much bigger in size. Users can also access more than 100,000 additional tones and presets via the Spark app, as well as tools to help you practise. Its built-in USB-charge battery delivers up to eight hours of playtime.

Instead of the standard black or white Tolex of the Spark MINI, the Vai version features a deep red burgundy exterior coupled with a Mandala design on the grille, made famous on Vai’s Hydra guitar. You’ll also get a matching 10-foot guitar cable featuring 24K gold-plated connectors and a durable burgundy weave nylon jacket to match the aesthetic.
In addition to the aesthetic glow-up, the Spark Mini Vai also offers a collection of loops and backing tracks pulled from Vai’s catalogue, as well as four new Steve Vai-curated presets. These are: Fresh (a bright, clear voice), Mild (a lightly distorted tone), Hot (ideal for crunchy rock rhythms and leads), and Fire (saturation for solos with vocal-like character).
We rated the MINI Vai a 9/10 in our 2024 review, noting it offered brilliant sounds in a compact package, and the accompanying app made editing presets easy and offered a wide range of effects.
