This guide helps you connect your Spark amp to the Spark app for tone control and audio streaming. Pick your amp model below to see the steps for your model.
Why two Bluetooth connections?
Tone Control (required) — pairs your Spark amp with the Spark app so you can browse presets, edit tones, tune, and access ToneCloud. This connection is made from inside the Spark app, not from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
Bluetooth Audio (optional) — streams audio from your phone or tablet through the amp's speakers, useful for playing along with backing tracks or YouTube. This is made from your phone's Bluetooth settings (Settings → Bluetooth), separate from the Tone Control pairing.
