Can i sync Spark tones across multiple devices

Anything you store on your app is linked to one specific device so unfortunately, it is not possible to sync tones across devices.

However, it is possible to create a backup of tones saved on your device, upload it to a Dropbox account and then download that backup from another device. This will allow you to sync Spark tones across all your devices. Check the tutorial on how to perform a tone backup from the Spark app.

Another option would be to upload all your tones to the ToneCloud. ToneCloud Tones and likes/favorites are linked to your profile, hence available on various devices with the same login.

es, you can jam with any streaming app with Spark/Apple Music at the same time.

Can I use the amp without the app, a phone or a tablet ?

Yes you can but you won’t have access to all the features provided by the app (Smart jam, effects, amp simulations, backing tracks, tonecloud, etc.)
