Sigh. I think I may have gotten ahead of myself the other day when I ordered the Spark Control. Why is that?
Well…one of things I really want with the Spark is the ability to use a looper of some sort. And, sadly, the Spark Control doesn’t allow it. Don’t get me wrong, almost everything I’ve heard about the this device is great. The only complaint ever seems to be that you must the Spark App with it. That’s not really a problem for me, I’m down with apps and don’ t play out at gigs or even with other people. Though there is a good friend on Hawai’i Island I’d love to visit and play with and all of this Spark gear would mean I could get my own tones next time I visit.
Instead, I’ve found that XSonic makes a five-switch foot controller that can use a software looper. It’s the Airstep Spark Edition.
So yeah, I ordered another piece of kit. Luckily, Amazon will take one or the other of them back. Or, as so often happens, I’ll keep both.
