    Hello guys! In order not to confuse you, please allow us to give more detailed info: Rich uses our second flagship model-AIRSTEP Lite. But for the convenience of the demonstration, he replaced it with a Special Edition sticker.
    AIRSTEP Special Edition(YT/BW/Spk) can only control its corresponding equipment and CANNOT be upgraded to other models. The higher model AIRSTEP or AIRSTEP Lite can be switched to any Special Edition's function.
    All in all, if you only want to control a single device, such as THR II, go corresponding Special Edition. If you want to control many devices and get continuous updates on different products, go AIRSTEP/AIRSTEP Lite.

    Awesome playing, Rich - as always. Looks like a cool way to get more fun out of your Spark or Yamaha. I've been wanting to check out the Spark.

    Just out of curiosity which amp do you like the best...Spark, or Yamaha ? Do you have the Airstep that works with all three amps because in your video you have the Airstep YT which only works with the Yamaha if I am not mistaken. I have the Yamaha THR30 which i think is dope but afraid if I buy the Airstep YT, I may want to add another amp so trying to figure out which Airstep to purchase. Thanks for any advice.

      I had to program the spark so it worked for the spark. I like the spark.

      The air step lite can be updated via the app updater to do a lot of things.

      Hey Rich…..I am a 60 year old disabled vet with brain injury so I get easily confused at times when it comes to signal routing and trying to figure out a solution for adding a second THR30 for a volume boost as I like busking and playing blues over backing tracks. I have the THR30 with the Airstep YT bluetooth foot pedal so I can switch channels or add effects which makes using the THR30 a joy. I also have the Line 6 G10 transmitter so I am fully wireless. So trying to figure out a working solution to ideally still be wireless, play along with backing tracks and use the Airstep foot controller. So here are my questions and would be so grateful if you or one of your smart subscribers could explain if this would work or if you have another suggestion.
      1.). Can I use the Line 6 G10 relay to simultaneously control both amps? I read conflicting views online if that can work.
      2.). Can I simultaneously bluetooth backing tracks from my iPhone to both amps?
      3.) Same goes for Airstep footpedal. Any idea if my Airstep pedal can simultaneously control channel switching on both THR30s?
      My other idea is if the above option does not work, is take line out from amp 1 into Aux on amp 2 to get the backing tracks and guitar sound from amp 1 and feed the sound into amp 2. I would keep amp 2 on a clean channel so backing tracks do not get distorted and just use the Airstep to switch guitar channels on amp 1 so amp 2 just be used for the extra volume. Not sure if I can use left or right line out or would I need a stereo out that converts to the 3.5 mm Aux in. This would be ideal if it works because both amps would have the same sounds when switching channels on Amp 1.
      The other option is going line out on amp 1 to the line in on Amp 2 instead of Aux. Again not sure if I need a stereo cable that converts into a single 1/4 inch or just use the left or right line out. With this setup I would use a splitter cable from my iPhone so I can send backing tracks to the Aux inputs on both amps simultaneously. But if I take line out of Amp 1 one into line in on Amp 2, wouldn’t that mean the backing tracks from amp one would be also be distorted when I switch channels on amp 2 so not sure if that solution makes sense. Ideally I would like both amps to have clean backing tracks and the same guitar tones when switching channels.
      I also know there are pedals that give you a stereo output with one line output going to each amps input and I could also add a overdrive pedal to front end the THR30s but the sounds of the Yamaha amp are so amazing this would just make more gear to carry around so hoping there is a better way.
      The last option is using an external powered speaker like a JBL Boombox 2. Has anyone tried this option and if so how did it sound? The JBL Boombox 2 costs the same as a THR30 so wondering if this makes more sense? I just like the thought of using two THR30s so I could jam with another musician if they have a keyboard, bass or guitar. Plus it’s nice having a backup amp.
      Sorry for long post and I thank you or anyone of your subscribers who took the time to read this and recommend a solution. I am very grateful🙏

    Is there any way to use the x sonic airstep YT on your spark 40 amp? I recently had the THR 30 but sold it for the spark 40 and can’t seem to connect the YT to it? Is there a way I could do this?

    • @RichBischoff

      I think theres a spark version. Not sure if you can program the YT spark to work with the Spark. You might want to reach out to xsonic.

      But you can’t use Loopy HD with the PG controller and you can with AIRSTEP
