It runs the same HD Tone Engine family as Spark 2, with 33 amp models and 43 effects onboard. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery (up to ~7 hours), a 60-second looper, and MIDI push floor multi-FX convenience further.

What it can do
Spark sound, controlled on your pedalboard
Spark PEDAL puts serious amp and effects modeling—based on Spark 2's HD Tone Engine—into a floor-pedal form. Three footswitches, four physical knobs, and a multi-function encoder keep preset changes and parameter tweaks smooth on the pedalboard and at hand.
Stereo line outs (L/R) go straight to PA or an external audio interface—and flex into a guitar amp's input or effects return.
Smart features and app expansion
Bluetooth to the Spark App unlocks ToneCloud's 100,000+ shared presets. Spark AI also lets you search and build sounds in natural language.
The onboard looper records and plays up to 60 seconds from a footswitch—handy for solo sessions, practice, and sketching ideas.
Battery power and a full I/O set
A built-in 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery covers about 7 hours away from a wall outlet. USB-C handles charging and computer audio-interface use.
Beyond stereo line outs you get headphones, an expression pedal jack, and 1/8" MIDI IN/OUT with the included adapters—compact, but still expandable.

Who it's for
Based on product specs, connectors, and chassis size.
A good fit
- Want Spark-series tones into PA or an existing amp
- Looking for a battery-powered multi-FX unit that's easy to carry
- Want to use Spark App and ToneCloud assets
Easier to skip for now
- Want loud speaker output from the pedal alone (you still need speakers or PA)
- Prioritize lots of footswitches or large-screen standalone editing
Bottom line
Positive Grid Spark PEDAL takes the Spark sound ecosystem known from desktop amps and tunes it for live stages and pedalboard control.
Rechargeable battery mobility plus strong connectivity (MIDI, line outs, and more) points to use from home practice through band rehearsal.
