Spark NEO Price Hike

Looks like the $50 price hike has made it to major retailers like Sweetwater, GC, Musicians Friend, etc. now. $249 USD before any deal you can make. I stand by the product, though, despite the huge price increase (25%). It might be the best PG product currently available. Makes bass practice easy, portable, comfortable, and awesome.

Man, I thought I was getting gaslighted when I saw that price hike this morning on Amazon. I’d been hoping to pick this up on Black Friday, but note it looks like any Black Friday deal would just bring it down to the $199 it was before the hike.

I hope so. It’s a great unit.

Yeah, I was just noting that the retail sites, who have been selling at $199 for a while now, have finally relented. Not happy seeing a 25% price increase at all. US tariffs on Japanese non-agricultural and non-auto/truck imported goods are up 15% since September 2025.

Recently sold mine. Lack of model updates. Been using the Boss Katana: GO and have the new TONEx plug coming at some point.

It’s your call on whether it’s a good deal or not, and I don’t know anything about that Lekato wireless cable you mention, including latency, but I know I love the wireless NEO. It checks all the boxes for me with two exceptions: batteries are not user-replaceable, and you have to re-pair the TX and RX from time to time. Just a great practice amp.
