If you’ve been enjoying your Spark amp, chances are you’ve already had some fun with the Spark App—but there’s a lot more to it than you might realize. From enhancing your practice sessions to sparking creativity, this app is loaded with features that take your playing to the next level.

Let’s dive into some of our favorite features of the Spark App, along with a few hidden gems you may not have explored yet!

Spark AI: Find Your Dream Tone with Ease

One of the most exciting new additions to the Spark App is Spark AI, an intelligent tone-matching feature designed to make finding your perfect sound faster and easier. Released alongside Spark 2, Spark AI is like your personal tone assistant – and it’s available on ALL Spark series amps.

How It Works:

Simply describe the tone you want—whether it’s from your favorite artist, song, or just how you envision your sound—and Spark AI will offer you a variety of tone options based on your description. Want that perfect bluesy warmth or a crunchy metal distortion? Spark AI has you covered. The more you use it, the smarter it gets, learning your preferences and fine-tuning its suggestions to match your style.

Hidden Gem: Spark AI gives you four tones to explore. Test them all to see which matches your prompt best! Plus - the more you use it, the more it learns your tastes and preferences.

Smart Jam: Your Personal Band, Anytime

Smart Jam lets you jam with a virtual band in real-time. All you have to do is start playing, and Smart Jam listens to your style and creates a backing track that fits your groove. Whether you’re into blues, funk, rock, or beyond, it’s like having a band ready to jam whenever you are.

Pro Tip: You can customize the tempo, genre, and feel of the backing track, allowing for even more control over your jam sessions. Try switching up the genre on a familiar riff to push your creativity!

Backing Tracks: Jam to Your Heart’s Content

For guitarists who love to jam, the Spark App has a massive library of backing tracks. From rock to blues to jazz, you can find the perfect accompaniment to solo over or practice with. It’s like having a personal rhythm section on demand!

Pro Tip: Filter backing tracks by key to practice scales or solo over specific progressions. This helps expand your musical toolkit by exploring improvisation in different keys.

Recording with Spark: Capture Your Ideas

Got a new riff or chord progression you don’t want to forget? The Spark App makes it easy to record your ideas. Whether you're writing new material or just capturing jam sessions, the app’s recording feature is perfect for keeping track of your creative moments.

Hidden Gem: Use Spark’s audio interface to plug into your computer and record directly into your DAW (like Logic Pro, GarageBand, or Ableton). Capture professional-quality guitar tones without needing extra gear.

Spark Control X: Hands-Free Brilliance

If you want a truly seamless playing experience, the Spark Control X footswitch is a must-have. Paired with the Spark App, it gives you hands-free control over your Spark series amp to swap presets, toggle effects, and more.

Pro Tip: Customize Spark Control X in the app to switch between effects or amp settings with a single tap. Perfect for switching between clean and distortion mid-song!

ToneCloud: Find Hidden Gems for Your Tone

While many Spark users are familiar with ToneCloud, there’s a side to it that’s often overlooked. Sure, it’s packed with user-created tones, but it also offers access to some truly unique sounds.

Hidden Gem: Some tones on ToneCloud are created by professional guitarists and sound designers, meaning you can download tones crafted by the pros. Explore artist profiles and specific tone packs to find your perfect sound.

Jamming with Friends: Connect and Play

If you have a Spark LIVE or Spark EDGE , the Spark App makes it easy to connect with other musicians. You can plug in a second instrument or a microphone, turning your Spark amp into a versatile tool for group jams.

Hidden Gem: Try plugging electric, acoustic, bass, vocals, keyboard, and more into Spark EDGE for multi-instrumental tone control.
