Troubleshooting

No sound from the guitar

Ensure the guitar is properly plugged into the "Instrument In" jack. Check that the amp is powered on and the volume is turned up. Verify that an amp model and effects are selected and active in the app or on the device.

Spark App not connecting via Bluetooth

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone or tablet. Restart both the Spark GO and your mobile device. Ensure the Spark GO is not already connected to another Bluetooth device. Try re-pairing the device through your mobile device's Bluetooth settings.

Poor audio quality or distortion

Reduce the input gain if the signal is too hot. Check the selected amp model and effects settings for unintended distortion. Ensure the firmware is up to date via the Spark App. Clean the guitar's output jack and instrument cable.

Device not charging

Use the provided USB-C cable and a compatible power adapter. Try a different USB-C cable and power source to rule out accessory issues. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
