← Back to Spark App User Guide for Spark 2
This guide covers both ways to connect Spark 2 over Bluetooth: to the Spark app for tone control, and to your phone or tablet for music streaming.
Connect to the Spark app (Tone Control)
Pair Spark 2 with the Spark app to browse presets, edit tones, tune, and access ToneCloud. This connection is made from inside the Spark app, not from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
- Power on Spark 2 by holding the Power button.
- Open the Spark app and tap Connect.
- The Spark app will search for nearby Spark 2 devices.
- If multiple Spark devices are present, select the Spark 2 matching your serial number to ensure you're connecting to the correct device.
- You'll see a "Successfully connected" message when the Spark app is connected to Spark 2.
- You can always check the connection status on the product card in the Menu tab.
Connect to the mobile device (Bluetooth Audio)
For instructions on streaming music from your phone or tablet through Spark 2, see: Bluetooth Connection (Bluetooth Audio)
Good to Know
Why two Bluetooth connections?
- Tone Control (required) - pairs Spark 2 with the Spark app for preset editing, tuning, and ToneCloud. Made from inside the Spark app.
- Bluetooth Audio (optional) - streams music from your phone through Spark 2's speakers and outputs. Made from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
You can also 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 (Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc.).
Bluetooth permissions on your phone
If the Spark app can't find Spark 2, or Spark 2 Audio isn't appearing in your phone's Bluetooth settings, check that Bluetooth permission is enabled for the Spark app:
- iOS / iPadOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Bluetooth → enable Spark.
- Android: Settings → Apps → Spark → Permissions → enable Bluetooth and Nearby devices (or Location on older Android versions).
