Positive Grid Spark Control X

Llevo unos meses usando el pedal Spark Control X de Positive Grid y puedo decir que cumple su función.

Lo primero, como pasa con Spark, es que es fácil. Lo conecté con mi Spark 2 y en segundos ya estaba cambiando presets, efectos etc.

Me encanta que es compacta pero robusta, y que no necesita cables por todos lados. Es inalámbrica, la batería dura muchísimo, y se siente sólida bajo el pie. Y lo mejor: puedo personalizar los botones desde la app.

¿Lo malo? Si no tienes un ampli Spark, no te sirve para nada. Pero si ya estás en el ecosistema Spark… es perfecto.

The Spark Control X is the perfect companion for the Spark 40, Spark MINI, and Spark GO — and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Positive Grid has created a smart, rugged, and incredibly useful foot controller that brings real-time control and flexibility to your Spark setup like never before.
The build quality is top-notch — solid metal chassis, responsive footswitches, and a sleek, road-ready design. It feels like pro gear. Setup is quick and easy via Bluetooth, and the Spark app integration is smooth and intuitive.
With six fully programmable switches, the Control X lets you switch presets, toggle effects, start/stop backing tracks, and even control Smart Jam features — all without taking your hands off the guitar. The expression pedal inputs are a killer addition for wah or volume control, making this a truly gig-worthy rig.
Latency is virtually nonexistent, and the responsiveness is excellent. Whether you're practicing, recording, or playing live, it keeps up flawlessly.
🎸 Verdict: The Spark Control X unlocks the full potential of the Spark ecosystem. If you own a Spark amp, this is a must-have upgrade. Effortless control, pro-level build, and total creative freedom. 5 stars, hands down.

Bought the spark Control X along with a positive grid spark 2 amp. The footswitch seems very sturdy and well built. Wireless so no more annoying cables spread across the floor. Found it easy to connect to the positive grid spark 2, and no latency when selecting effects. So light and easy to move yet solid when on the floor and does not slide when you press a switch with your foot. I have my footswitch set on Profile 2 at the moment and have not had to change it, but you can easily select any of 8 different footswitch profiles and you can customize it to suit your needs. Also has 2 inputs on the back for expression pedals, but i have not used these yet.
All in all i am very happy with it and it does everything that i need. Great.

Works great when it has power and is paired. I love that it fits in my gig bag and that it doesn't require a cable to connect to the amp.

However I have to pair it each time with my Spark 2. On more than one occasion it repeatedly failed to pair until I reset both the X Control and the Spark 2. Although it has never run out of power on me while using it, the battery life is nowhere near 150 hours.
