    If both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi LEDs breathe together, you held the pair button too long and Spark 2 is now in pairing mode with Spark Control X. In this case, Spark 2 Audio will not appear in the Bluetooth list.

Good to Know

Volume control

Use the MUSIC knob on the front panel to adjust Bluetooth playback volume on Spark 2. Volume can also be controlled from the source device (phone/tablet).

Output routing

Bluetooth audio is streamed through Spark 2's internal speakers, the L/MONO & R line outputs, and the headphone output.

Both connections at once

You can use Spark 2 as a Bluetooth speaker while playing guitar - Spark 2 mixes the Bluetooth audio and your guitar signal together, so you can jam over music from any app while editing tones with the Spark app.


Troubleshooting

Spark 2 Audio doesn't appear in my Bluetooth list

You held the PAIR button too long and Spark 2 entered Spark Control X pairing mode instead. Only the Bluetooth LED should breathe - if both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi LEDs breathe together, tap PAIR again briefly to exit and retry.

Paired successfully but no music plays

  • Turn up the MUSIC knob on the Spark 2 front panel.
  • Check that your source device (phone/tablet) is not muted and volume is up.
  • If USB-C is connected to a computer, Bluetooth music playback is disabled - disconnect USB to stream via Bluetooth.

Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

  • Stay within Bluetooth range (~10 m / 30 ft) of Spark 2.
  • Move away from Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, and other 2.4 GHz devices that can cause interference.
  • Forget the device on your phone, then re-pair.
