Positive Grid Spark Control X Footswitch

Wireless Footswitch Control for Spark Series Amps

The Positive Grid Spark Control X is the official 6-switch wireless footswitch for the Spark series amp lineup. It connects over Bluetooth 5.0 to the Spark app, giving players hands-free command of presets, effects, backing tracks, and Smart Jam sessions. Two default profiles — Preset Mode and Stompbox Mode — ship pre-loaded for instant use. For Spark LIVE owners, the footswitch also links directly to the amp without the app.

What Sets the Spark Control X Apart

Unlike generic MIDI controllers, this footswitch is purpose-built for the Spark ecosystem and ships with 3 transparent overlays for custom switch labeling. A one-piece silicone wrap keeps the unit anchored under the foot, and over-the-air firmware updates arrive through Bluetooth.

Six steel footswitches sit on the top panel, each backed by a multi-color LED that mirrors on/off state in the Spark app. Switches I–IV map to hardware presets; A and B step through the eight customizable profiles.
