Pair Spark 2 with the Spark App (Tone Control)

← Back to Spark App User Guide for Spark 2

Which Bluetooth connection do you need?

Spark 2 has two independent Bluetooth connections. Choose the one you need:

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.

1. Power on Spark 2 by holding the Power button.
2. Open the Spark app and tap Connect.
   Make sure Bluetooth is turned on on your mobile device.
3. The Spark app will search for nearby Spark 2 devices.
4. If multiple Spark devices are present, select the Spark 2 matching your serial number to ensure you're connecting to the correct device.
5. You'll see a "Successfully connected" message when the Spark app is connected to Spark 2.
6. You can always check the connection status on the product card in the Menu tab.

Good to Know

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.

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).

Troubleshooting

The Spark app can't find Spark 2

• Confirm Bluetooth is on and Spark app has permission (Settings → Privacy & Security → Bluetooth → enable Spark).
• Make sure Spark 2 is powered on and within Bluetooth range (~10 m / 30 ft).
• Close the Spark app completely from your phone's app switcher, then reopen and tap Connect.

"Successfully connected" doesn't appear

• Wait 10-15 seconds - initial handshake can take a moment.
• Restart the Spark app and try again.
• Power cycle Spark 2 (hold Power for 10 s to force shutdown, then power on).

Can't reconnect after previously pairing

1. Open the Spark app, tap the Menu tab, select the Spark 2 device card, and tap Forget this device.
2. On your phone's Bluetooth settings, forget any "Spark 2 Audio" entry too (if you had also paired for music).
3. Reboot Spark 2 and re-pair from the app.
