Since the app is free, simply give it a try with your amp... Switch your amp presets directly from your iPhone or iPad. With optional footswitch support, you can control your amp hands-free while playing using a compatible Bluetooth MIDI footswitch. FEATURES • Switch presets directly Quickly toggle between your configured amp presets using large, clear buttons. • Bluetooth MIDI footswitch Control your amp while playing without needing to reach for your iPhone or the amplifier itself. • MIDI Learn Map your footswitch buttons to your presets and customize controls to suit your playing style. • Flexible button assignment Configure the preset buttons to match your specific setup. • Portrait and landscape modes Use PresetSwitcher comfortably on both iPhone and iPad. Footswitch support is available as a one-time in-app purchase. PresetSwitcher was designed for use with compatible Bluetooth modeling amps and Bluetooth MIDI footswitches. I have personally tested it with the following amps: SPARK GO, SPARK MINI, and VALETON GP-5.
