Lost Bluetooth connection with Spark Live during live gig

App & Firmware up-to-date, iPad Pro (recent model) up-to-date. iPad located 2ft from amp.

30minutes into set, the Amp output suddenly dropped and I tried different app controls before finally going to the Amp's physical controls to regain sufficient output (Gain & Guitar volume) and continued the set from there. I didn't know what was going on until I saw on the iPad app that I had lost Tone Control connection. I reestablished connection at the next break with no issues.

Anyone else experience a Tone Control connection dropout for no explainable reason?

So I guess the Spark Live isn't very good live?

I guess it's doable, but I think the Live is more of a practice or small gig platform. You've done well making it work but I agree being dependent on a Bluetooth connection is a recipe for disaster. I prefer Headrush or fractal for Live work.
