I have never gotten any emails from PG, aside from the initial Order Confirmation (#109562) from Dec.5th. Wonder what that's all about? Anyway, I'd like to check out the software offer (that I was unaware of until just now) so is it cool to ask if you could share that link and the unlock instructions? If not cool what would I need to do? Thanx!
I was the same. No contact at all aside from the initial order confirmation. You need to email support in order to get the free software offer. That's what I did. I asked them when the order was due to ship, they gave me the cut and pasted 'sorry delays etc' reply with the software offer.

I have been emailing about the software since i first found out...no replies. Pitiful

Thanx for replying. I kind of figured that would be the case, so I contacted Support last night. This morning I had a reply from Felix along with an unlock code. I'm thinking the BiasFX2 software will hold me over until the Spark shows up.

After much thought and looking at alternatives, I have decided to cancel my Spark order and buy a Line6 Amplifi TT instead. I had the chance to buy a TT secondhand, with a warranty, for under $100 NZD (I'm in New Zealand), and it covers everything I was planning to use the Spark for (amp and FX modelling, USB recording interface, jam along, Bluetooth, portability, cloud-based tones). I suspect the modelling in the Spark is better quality as it is newer tech, but for a device that is mostly just for practice this is not a big deal; I've never had any trouble getting good, usable tones out of Line 6 modellers.
The Amplifi TT is missing the smart jam and chord recognition thing, which is one of the main things that attracted me to Spark in the first place. However, having played with smart jam on the Spark's android app, it's not something I will miss - it is very laggy, and the screen layout is such that the animation that shows the chords being played is barely visible - you can only see the top half of one line of chords, and the chord names are not visible at all. It has also been very buggy - lots of crashes and unpredictable behaviour. I am not an Apple user, so poor Android support is a showstopper for me. It's a shame, because the iOS app looks really good - if I were an Apple user my decision here may well have been different. I hope PG can sort the Android app out soon for those of you who will want to use it.
The Amplifi TT does not have built in amp or speakers like the Spark does - this is not an issue for me as I have various choices from small portable speakers to large PA units I can easily plug it into. Of course there are other Amplifi models (30, 75, 150) that DO have amp and speakers built in.
Here are the areas where the Amplifi wins for me:
- I can have one now!
- Android app is mature and works well
- More amps and effects on board
- More amp/FX blocks at once (10 vs Spark's 7).
- Some flexibility in the sequence of blocks in the signal chain (Spark has none)
- Speaker cabinet selection. This is massive for me; changing cabinets is usually my first step in tweaking my tone once I've selected an amp. (Spark does not offer cabinet selection)
- Footswitch options - The Amplifi supports Line 6's range of FBV switches, which are readily available new and secondhand (no footswitch option at all for the Spark).
- Flexible outputs - Amplifi has stereo 1/4 inch jacks, stereo RCA outs and a separate jack output for plugging into a guitar amp.
For those of you behind me in the queue for a Spark, you're one step closer due to my cancellation. You're welcome! I sincerely hope your Spark is everything you want it to be when it arrives.

So, I placed my power supporter order on 14 Nov and got my shipping confirmation email today. Now I'm just wondering how long it will take to get to the UK and if I will need to pay any import charges...Hold in there 👍
