Device Card Settings – Help Center

← Back to Spark App User Guide for Spark PEDAL

Spark PEDAL exposes several advanced settings in the Spark app's Device Card. These settings are only accessible when Spark PEDAL is connected to the Spark app via Bluetooth (Tone Control).

How to Access the Device Card

In the Spark app, tap the Menu tab (bottom-right).
Tap the product card at the top of the Menu page (shows "My Spark Pedal" or your device name).
Scroll through the Device Details page to find each setting.

Power Settings

Configure Auto Standby and Auto Shutdown timers to conserve battery life.

Auto Standby - Spark PEDAL enters a low-power state after this many minutes of no audio activity. Instrument output and audio playback are temporarily disabled during standby. Play your instrument or start audio playback to wake it up.
- Options: 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 min / Never
- Default: 15 min
Auto Shutdown - Fully powers off Spark PEDAL after extended inactivity.
- Options: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 min
- Default: 30 min

EXP Pedal Settings

Calibrate and assign the Volume or Wah LFO command to a connected expression pedal.

EXP Pedal Settings — Calibrate and assign Volume or Wah LFO

Calibrate - Follow the on-screen prompts to teach the app your expression pedal's toe-down / heel-down range.
Volume - Assign the expression pedal to control output volume.
Wah LFO - Assign the expression pedal to sweep a wah effect.

Compatible with TRS-type expression pedals. Connect your pedal to the EXP input on the rear panel of Spark PEDAL.

MIDI Thru

Enable MIDI Thru to pass MIDI commands received on the MIDI IN port directly through to the MIDI OUT port.

MIDI Thru toggle in Device Details

This is useful when chaining Spark PEDAL with other MIDI devices - MIDI input from a controller can be forwarded to downstream gear (drum machines, other effects, etc.), while Spark PEDAL continues to respond to its own MIDI commands.

Global EQ

Adjust the Bass, Mid, and Treble of Spark PEDAL's overall output signal.

Global EQ — Bass, Mid, Treble knobs

Global EQ is applied after the amp and effects signal chain, shaping the final sound sent to the L/MONO & R outputs and headphone output. Use it to compensate for the tonal character of different speakers, PAs, or headphones without changing your presets.

Name

Change the display name shown when Spark PEDAL is connected in the Spark app. Custom names help you distinguish between multiple Spark devices.

Model

Displays the model of your device (Spark PEDAL). Read-only.

Firmware Version

Displays the firmware version currently installed on Spark PEDAL. If a newer firmware version is available, an Update option will appear next to the version number.

Restore to Factory Settings

Resets all settings on Spark PEDAL to factory defaults from within the Spark app.

Warning: This resets all your custom settings and cannot be undone. Back up your presets to ToneCloud or Dropbox before proceeding.

See also: Factory Reset - if you cannot connect to the app, perform a factory reset from the hardware instead.

Amp User Manual

Opens the Spark PEDAL user manual directly in the app for quick reference. Handy for looking up features and troubleshooting without leaving the Spark app.

Forget This Device

Removes Spark PEDAL from the Spark app's list of connected devices.

After forgetting the device, you will need to re-pair Spark PEDAL with the Spark app to reconnect. Use this when transferring device ownership, changing your primary phone, or as a troubleshooting step for persistent connection issues.
