Spark PEDAL's three footswitches can be used for either preset switching or looper control. This article covers how to switch between modes and use each one.
Overview
The LED indicators are split into two sections:
- Left side - Preset status
- Right side - Looper status
Press switches 1 and 2 together to toggle between Preset Control and Looper Control modes.
Preset Control Mode
- Press a switch to select one of the six available presets.
- Press and hold to save a preset.
- Press switches 2 and 3 together to switch between Red and Green banks (3 presets per bank).
Looper Control Mode
- Switch 1: Record / Dub. Tap to start recording or overdubbing. Tap again to stop recording and start playback.
-
Switch 2: Play / Stop. Starts/stops the loop playback. Hold to switch between Auto Mode and Signal Detection Mode for standalone recording:
- Signal Detection Mode (Click Off) - Free length. Spark PEDAL automatically starts recording when it detects a guitar signal; tap the record button to stop. The Switch 1 LED (right side) turns yellow when in this mode. This is the default recording mode.
- Auto Mode (Click On) - Adjustable loop length. Recording starts automatically after a 1-bar count-in and stops when reaching the length set in the Time Settings menu in the Spark app.
- Switch 3: Undo / Redo. Removes/restores the last layer added to the loop. Hold to completely erase the recorded loop.
