Spark Control X- 6 Switch Wireless Foot Controller

The Positive Grid Spark Control X is a fantastic addition to the Spark amp range, giving guitarists a simple and effective way to take hands-free control of their setup. With six fully customisable footswitches, it offers considerably more control than the original Spark Control, allowing you to change presets, switch effects on and off, control backing tracks and access other functions without having to reach for your phone or amp.

One of the biggest advantages of the Spark Control X is its wireless operation. Using Bluetooth 5.0, it connects neatly to compatible Spark amplifiers and keeps your playing area free from another cable running across the floor. The six switches have multi-colour LED indicators, making it easy to see which functions are active while you're playing. The solid construction also gives it the reassuring feel you'd expect from a foot controller designed for regular use.

The Control X is also impressively versatile. Its switches can be programmed through the Spark app, with support for up to eight profiles, while two expression pedal inputs allow you to add external pedals for functions such as volume or wah control. Three transparent overlays are included, so you can label your switches and keep track of your personalised setup.

Battery life is another strong point, with the built-in rechargeable battery offering up to 150 hours of playtime on a full charge. It is compact enough to transport easily, while the aluminium housing and silicone covering help it stay firmly in place underfoot.

There can be a little Bluetooth connection delay reported by some users, and the initial connection process may occasionally require a little attention, but for most Spark players the convenience of wireless control far outweighs these minor limitations.

Overall, the Spark Control X is an excellent choice for anyone looking to get more from their Positive Grid Spark setup. Whether you're practising at home, recording or playing with friends, having six programmable switches directly under your feet makes changing sounds and controlling your Spark amp much more intuitive. For Spark owners who want greater control without adding a complicated pedalboard, the Spark Control X is a very worthwhile upgrade.
