If you think ToneCloud on Spark guitar amps is just a random collection of presets, here’s a fun surprise. Some of the most respected guitarists on the planet are quietly hanging out there, sharing their tones with anyone who wants them. No paywall. No gatekeeping. Just real presets created by real artists who actually use Spark’s on the road, at home, and everywhere in between.

From stadium-filling rock icons to modern prog innovators, these players have uploaded their own custom tones so you can plug in and play through sounds that helped shape their music. Here are a few standout artist presets and best guitar tones of 2025 worth checking out right now.

1. Zakk Wylde – Mama I’m Comin’ Home

Signature Tone: Huge, expressive clean inspired by "Mama I’m Comin’ Home"

About: One of the earliest Spark MINI collaborations was with the legendary Zakk Wylde. While the limited-edition amp itself is now sold out, the good news is that Zakk’s tones are still alive and well on ToneCloud. This preset captures that huge, expressive clean tone from Mama I’m Comin’ Home, with the kind of feel that reacts beautifully to your hands. Be sure to explore his full ToneCloud profile too. There are plenty more Zakk-approved sounds waiting there.

Clear, punchy, and perfect for fast picking or expressive phrasing. Like Zakk, Paul has shared multiple presets on ToneCloud, making it easy to explore his approach to tone without touching a single knob.
