Sparks availability?

+1 for sparks to come back!

I’ve stumbled upon the Sparks shortly.
I’d really love to get my hands on one.
You haven’t created the option to preorder so far.
Is there an option to face this in the near future?
Or do we have to hunt for a pedal-by pedal release over reverb?
Please keep us updated.

Just to be overly obvious:
+1 to bring the Sparks back to us!

I discovered the pedal because of the Chase Bliss Mystery Box giveaway. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

My buddy and I will each pick one up the second they’re available. I check your website every, single, day… Obsessively.

I won’t pay secondary prices for it though. $700 for a used pedal is crazy. I would rather you raised the price if that’s what it takes to get it back in production.

how much was Sparks new?

Sparks was $399 new. As far as notifications, the Kinoteam always post an announcement here when there’s going to be a batch of pedals up which should trigger an email for anyone on the forum. So as long as you’re already here, you should be the first to know for the next batch of Sparks.

Found one for 550 (cough) on reverb

any Sparks owners based in Los Angeles? I’m making a record down there in the next couple of weeks and I would be really interested in processing thru Sparks. If you’re open to coming through the studio (in East Los) I’d pay you for the time especially if you’re up for knob-twiddling to help us get some sounds :slight_smile:

Hello, if someone sell it i would love to buy one or wait for a new one. Cheers from Paris France.

Add my vote to the pile - I’d love to buy a Sparks if y’all ever restock!

posting to get notified, i have to say i think the market for this pedal is much bigger than the initial response, i have literally been looking for a wavefolder pedal for ages, but i didnt find sparks until this morning when youtube decided to recommend the demo video to me!

This is the one pedal I’ve been waiting for and would absolutely pre-order if available…:victory_hand:t2:

Still working out some details but it’s looking like we’ll be opening orders for more Sparks on October 13th (this is also the day we’re announcing a new device).

It will be available in the original blue as well as a new Saffron Yellow.

We’re not really sure how many of these to make so it will be a pre-order, but we’d like to start shipping them before the end of the year.

Can I trade my blue one in for saffron? It looks amazing. Great choice!

Thank you! :sweat_smile: sorry but, no trades. We offered it for Ribbons a couple years ago when we did the first pink colorway and ended up with a pile of aluminum enclosures that couldn’t be re-used. It was time consuming and felt pretty wasteful. All we can do is bring them to a metal recycling center to be melted down into I-beams, which is kind of painful considering how much work goes into making them.

Yes! You always have the best color choices and that Saffron Yellow might be the best I’ve seen. Perfect for Sparks.

Wonderful news! Any chance Ribbons will follow suit this year? I’d much rather give you the funds than a reseller!

Amazing, hyped, going to put away some money for this! :yellow_heart:

Wow, I had no idea that you offered that in the past. Sorry to hear that was such a hassle. More than anything, I just wanted to communicate how awesome the saffron enclosure looks - congrats! :grinning_face:
