        All updates loaded, app upgraded, amp upgraded. Shows new amps and effects, problem is none of them work. Very frustrating. I've had my spark more than a year, so please tell me why the eq, and amps don't work.

          Fantastic update, everything went smoothly with the update, and everything works perfectly. Can't wait till I can mess around a little more with the new stuff.

            @sparkamplover I haven't updated yet but, from what I see they have added, it looks like they really listened to peoples concerns, especially with the EQ pedal. Very good PG!

              Why is EQ lumped in with modulation effects?

                New EQ pedal sliders wrong on Android. Only top half of scale works (0-100% all from centre point to top of scale). Looks like the slider widgets are misconfigured.

                  Cannot seem to get the new amps and fx to show up after update. There did not seem to be any issues with the update process so, do I have to do something to make them show up? I have disconnected and then re-connected.

                      Well, I would like to say that this is all awesome, but every time I go to update my firmware, it comes back saying that my firmware is up to date. It isn't:( I do have the driver for windows and it does see my amp, just won't update. Oh well ...

                            @sparkamplover Updated app, downloaded firmware update for BOTH Windows and Mac.
                            First off, the ASIO driver won't install, says "This app cannot run on your PC, to find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher" - The PC is a Win10 Pro, fully up to date.
                            Tried running the updater anyway and it connected and reported the current firmware , all good. Ran the updater, now giving the correct new firmware version (1.4.3.174) and says "your firmware is up to date".
                            Updated the IOS app to the latest, rebooted Spark just to be sure then connected the app - no new amps, no new pedals.
                            Ran the updater on a Mac just to be sure, same again, no new amps, no new pedals.
                            Uninstalled the app and reinstalled (as per what some others suggested that are having the same problem - no change, no new amps, no new pedals.

                            What gives???

                            *** UPDATE ***
                            Even though both the Win10 PC and the Mac came back with the correct firmware version after the update, I tried another Windows PC out of desperation - this time, same firmware version report from the firmware updater but now the new amps and pedals are showing up ?????????

                              I've upgraded the firmware on windows, no drama, uninstalled and re-installed the App on my android, but I can only see the same 24 amps I've seen since purchase (2 months ago). None of the new stuff? I've logged out and in.....Have I missed something?

                                Do not have this issue on Android.

                                Whole process was seamless for me updating firmware on MacOS and Android app. But the EQ pedals in place of modulation doesn't help the overly bassy sound of the amp very much when you get the guitar sounding right and then want to use a mod effect.

                                  @craig-0 Update. App on my iPad updated fine, New gear shows but I get a message that I can't access them because my firmware is outdated:) Tried to update again a few minutes ago ... same result.

                                    @craig-0 Final update. I was able to update the firmware by installing the tools on my desktop computer vs. my laptop. All systems go:)

                                      @craig-0 My update of the firmware went perfectly. My update of the app went perfectly. All the new effects and amp models are showing. HOWEVER, now I have the dreaded buzz problem. AND I have a grounded power supply, so that's not the problem. I immediately plugged the same guitar with the same cord into another amp and there is no buzz at all, so it's obviously the amp. I give up!

                                        My first attempt at the firmware upgrade was not successful, as there was no sound coming out of the amp. I reinstalled the windows ASIO driver and retried upgrading the firmware, and it worked. But I also have the buzz problem now. The same presets I was using before the upgrade are much more noisy now, even when using the noise gate.

                                          @dhbailey Try using the Noise Gate pedal. It seems to work now.

                                            @mhmercer That was the first thing I did -- that pedal will allow me to control the buzz if I turn the threshold up, but that also cuts off the sustain. I'm very frustrated with this amp!
