20. Bank
Press the button to scroll through the first three banks of patches.
Bank 1  2
Bank 2  3
Bank 3  1
The green LED indicates you’re in Bank 1, the orange LED indicates you’re in Bank
2 and the red LED indicates you’re in Bank 3.
NOTE: The first three banks can be selected from the front panel. When you activate
Bank 4 and higher from an external controller (e.g. Blackstar INSIDER software,
footcontroller), the Bank LED will not be lit but the channel LEDs will continue to
show you the patch location.
For example:
Patch 11 – Bank LED red, Channel 3 LED lit.
Selecting Bank Up from an external controller will switch you to patch 15 – Bank
LED off, Channel 3 lit.
When the amplifier is in Manual Mode, the Bank LED will not be lit.
The channel will be remembered, therefore the corresponding patch within the
current bank will be loaded when scrolling through the banks.
21 – 24. Channels 1-4
Channel 1 activates the first patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 2 activates the second patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 3 activates the third patch within the currently active bank.
Channel 4 activates the fourth patch within the currently active bank.
25. Footswitch
Connect one of the following supported footswitches here.
1 button footswitch
Use any latching footswitch (e.g. a Blackstar FS-4) to switch between Channels 1
and 2 of the currently selected Bank.
Footswitch latched OFF (e.g. LED extinguished on the FS-4) activates Channel 1
Footswitch latched ON (e.g. LED illuminated on the FS-4) activates Channel 2
Blackstar FS-10 Footcontroller
This multi-function footcontroller allows you to access all patches, toggle effects
and program patches.
18. USB
Plug a USB cable in here to connect the amplifier to a Windows PC or Mac.
Blackstar’s INSIDER software can be downloaded from our website and offers a
host of features.
See the USB Audio section on page 20 for more information.
NOTE: The amplifier will appear on a personal computer as an audio capture device
within recording software.
19. Manual
Press this switch to toggle between Manual Mode and the current patch. When the
amplifier is in Manual Mode, the sound will reflect the current physical position of
the knobs. This is applicable to the Voice, Gain, Volume, Bass, Treble, ISF and TVP
knobs. The TVP on/off state will be retained from the previously active patch. Any
effects that are active when switching to Manual Mode will be turned off.
While in Manual Mode any of the controls can still be modified by an external source
(Blackstar INSIDER software, footswitch, MIDI controller), but this means that the
sound will not represent the positions of the knobs on the front panel.
Tuner Mode
Holding the Manual button (19) for three seconds will engage the tuner. The Recall
Indicator LED (28) will flash continuously to indicate the amplifier is in Tuner Mode.
By default the amplifier ouput will be muted whilst in Tuner Mode.
The Manual, Bank and Channel LEDs will indicate the closest note to the note being
played.
Bank LED String 1 and 6 (default E, low/high)
CH1 LED String 2
CH2 LED String 3
CH3 LED String 4
CH4 LED String 5
The MOD, DLY and REV LEDs act as indicators to show how close the played note
is to the tuned note.
MOD LED red Note is sharp (above pitch)
DLY LED green Note is in tune
REV LED red Note is flat (below pitch)
All other LEDs on the front panel will be off in Tuner Mode.
Pressing any button will exit Tuner Mode.
