<li>Also, you need Spark Amp's USB cable, and a Lightning(Or Type C) to USB adaptor for your iOS device. If the sound is recorded from the iPad mic after everything connected and set, that means the Lightning to USB cable you purchased does not support your iOS device, or it is a broken one.</li>

<h3>Step 1.</h3>
<p>Press and hold the B + C footswitch and turn on the power to enter the Looper Mode of AIRSTEP Spk Edition. Turn on the Spark 40 Amp. After successful connection, the connection indicator will be solid blue.</p>
<h3>Step 2.</h3>
<p>Connect your iOS device with Spark Amp via the adaptor and USB cable.</p>
<h3>Step 3.</h3>
<p>Pair your AIRSTEP Spk Edition and iOS device via Bluetooth. There’s only one Bluetooth connection allowed by AIRSTEP Spk Edition, so that you can only connect one smart device to AIRSTEP Spk Edition. Also, AIRSTEP Spk Edition CANNOT be edited by AIRSTEP App.
LED Indication: Solid green color indications the connection to the iOS device, solid blue color indicates the established Bluetooth connection to the Spark 40 Amp. If there is blinking blue only, it means that AIRSTEP Spk Edition doesn’t connect to anything. If there is solid green with blinking blue, it means AIRSTEP Spk Edition only connects to your iOS Device. If it is solid blue + green together(blue-green), congratulations! This is the correct connection, and you can move on to the next.</p>
