Just heard someone using it with a Rhodes on YouTube and it sounds incredible.
Can’t wait to get my hands on one. Crazy that you can’t even find an obscenely priced one on Reverb.

+1 would buy a Sparks!
Only found one in the wild for sale, in the whole world
Plus another one for Sparks! Gosh I’d love to find one, better yet get a new one and support kinotone directly
Can we do a SparksStarter like a Kickstarter? I’d pay and wait as my stereo pedal board conversion DEMANDS I search out a Sparks to put with my pink Ribbons. Seriously, help us convince you to make more.
Videos showing it with other heavy hitter stereo pedals would position it for a wider audience. That harmonic tremolo is a major reason to pay attention. Love your work Jaak & Co.
My new Ribbons is immediately making dreams come true in my studio.

I’m coming from a similar place. I’ve been configuring a board for end-to-end stereo operation and discovered Sparks in a quest for this proverbial water in the desert.
For some time I’ve been aware of Kinotone and Ribbons but can’t recall if I looked into things deeply enough to know about Sparks. Maybe I did but didn’t register it deeply enough to remember and had to (re?)discover when I needed a stereo drive. After a deep dive to learn about the SID emulation, spin control, and modulation assignability…the only debate left is whether to get one or two when they become available.
Jorb’s video is (as usual) really good and the Kinotone videos are also great, but it would be nice to see more high quality content diving into the drive tones with guitar and increasing awareness of the stereo application. I have to think there are many potential Sparks customers that just need the right exposure.
Count me in as another. I just learned of kinotone’s existence today and I’m sure there’s more potential customers joining the ranks each day.
FWIW, I also think Sparks might be a bit of a sleeper hit down the road. I wasn’t really sure about getting one, but took a chance mainly on how good ribbons is. I’ve been amazed at how much is packed into Sparks and how well executed the interface is. I’m sure there are great demos, but it may just need time for its range and personality to get around and better known.
I can imagine that it was discouraging if the initial response was meh but it seems like the awareness and enthusiasm is building. I would definitely buy one if you were to decide to make another batch.
You’re making some seriously amazing stuff
Thank you
Just joined the forum to say I’m also keen on a Sparks. Will be keeping my eyes peeled and wallet ready
Adding to the chorus of those who want more Sparks in their life!
I would happily pre-order to help fund the upfront cost burden.
Just missed getting a Ribbons - literally had it in my cart last night to order today.
Still, stoked to see what your “next two releases” will be!
Ok, i want Sparks too! I hope you manage to make another batch guys!! Keep the good work going, perhaps more money spent into marketing needs ti be invested, idk.. What I know is that I want one
I love my ribbons so much. I was lucky enough to get one from the last batch. Problem is I now want a sparks. So +1 for a sparks.
