  @mikekruiper There's a section for bass with 15 presets. They're alright, though I like the cab in the Jimi Hendrex for base and the compression and reverb in the pro packs. I've signed up for a trial version of BassKnob STD which looks to be really cool for metal bass. It's only $50 to purchase. Might want to check that out.

  I've been having issues with Bluetooth on my Spark Mini.

  Synopsis of issue:

  When using Bluetooth connection to the spark app on my Pixel 6 pro, i can connect to and use amp profiles that are premade. The minute I attempt to tweak any of the pedals or amp settings, after a few changes the Bluetooth connection will respond "disconnected" on the app.

  Attempts to fix:

  So far, I have

  Updated firmware to the latest version on the spark mini. Cleared my software install on my phone, and reinstalled. Checked permissions on my phone to make sure there were no conflicts. Factory reset the spark using the pair/power hold and then holding pair after the light went white.

  Currently:

  I am uncertain if this is a compatibility issue with my phone (however, I'm seeing similar issues for iphone users and android alike in the forums) so I'm inclined to not believe this issue to be related to the device.

  Is there a problem with the Bluetooth firmware version that has not been addressed with positive grid themselves? The issue seems to be specific to me when making any changes to the amps or pedals in the chain.

  UPDATE

  After seeing other posts recommending Bluetooth devices be "forgotten" by my pixel 6, I gave that a go. This did however work, for some reason inactive Bluetooth devices in my recently paired list seem to cause the issue I presented above. This seems like it shouldn't happen and I would like to hear an admin elaborate on how this might be resolved in future software updates.

  Definitely. I occasionally plug a Looper, a DS-1 and/or my old ME-50 into my guitar chain. Other, more experienced forum members have stated that the Spark 40 does an excellent job with ‘real’ pedals.

  @markandchi When you say you had to find your garageband folder, where did you find it at? I can't find any garageband folder.

  I‘ve been doing this for years and it works excellently. The music volume button on the right of the Amp is fully turned on…always.I play my backing tracks through the anytune app, which i open in parallel to the Spark App via Splitt Screen. With anytune, the volume of the BT can be fine tuned again.

  @wardrose4472902 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have a android phone. I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone, reinstalled the app, and used Dave for smart jam as per Positive Grid support for a while before trying Charles again. It did not work. Support told me that they have reproduced the issue themselves and reported the issue to the software engineering team on 7-21-22.

  Does jam up offer anything more than a 4 band graphic EQ? I wanted to notch some lower freqs. Out on my bass and thought for sure that would be something included in the 2 different bass expansion packs and was disappointed to find out it didn't and I am very surprised to not be able to find any thing like this to buy individually.
  It seems like such a simple and useful tool to have available.

  Same here - but it cuts out right from the start, and then seems to get better - pause my playing, then it starts cutting again.
  Did you find a solution?

  I received a notice on Friday to say that my Riff and Control had been dispatched to an address I didn't provide. Contacted PG on the day to advise and resolve. It's now Wednesday and I've received no update since Friday, except from the freight company to say that it can't be redirected.

  Sent 2 more messages/tickets via the so-called support page today and yet to receive a response. Terrible, terrible support from a company that already has my money but won't give me my products or even tell me when and how this is going to happen.

  Buenos días a todos.
  Desde hace unas semanas tengo un problema con mi spark Amp.
  Al poco de encenderlo y tocar el sonido desaparece y pasado un tiempo vuelve y así sucesivamente. He actualizado firmware, reseteado a fabrica pero no doy con la Causa.
  Alguna idea?
  Gracias a todos y que tengáis un buen día.
