Storing Patches
To store the current sound as a patch
1. Press and hold any of the four Channel buttons for one second. All four
Channel LEDs will begin to flash.
2. Press the Bank button to toggle through the three banks (green, orange, red)
to choose the store location.
3. Press any of the four Channel buttons once to store the patch in the chosen
location.
The LED corresponding to the chosen store location will illuminate and the new
patch will be active.
Green bank = Patches 1-4
Orange bank = Patches 5-8
Red bank = Patches 9-12
The amplifier controls can be used to edit the patch at any stage of the store
process.
Press the Manual button at any stage to cancel the store process and return the
amplifier to the last state.
Storing a patch will overwrite any previous patch in that location.
Patches can also be stored via Blackstar’s INSIDER software or a connected
Blackstar FS-10 footcontroller.
Recalling Patches
Press any Channel button to load that patch.
Pressing the Bank button will cycle through the three banks – green-orange-red.
The Channel will be preserved, therefore the corresponding patch within the current
Bank will be loaded when scrolling through the Banks.
Alternatively, patches can be recalled via Blackstar’s INSIDER software or any
connected footswitch.
26. MP3/Line In
Connect the output of your mp3 or CD player here. Adjust the player’s volume to
match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.
NOTE: The connection is stereo summed into mono.
27. Emulated Output/Headphone Out
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural tone for connection to a recording device or mixing desk.
To make full use of the stereo effects, use a stereo jack to two mono jacks splitter
lead to feed two channels of the recording device or mixer. The output will also
function into a mono guitar type lead. Always use a good quality screened lead.
Turning the Volume knob (4) will control the Emulated Output level. The Master
Volume only affects any connected speaker(s)/cabinet(s).
NOTE: To ‘silently’ record, set the Master Volume to zero. You may also record
from this output without a loudspeaker connected, but ensure that no loudspeaker
leads are connected to any of the loudspeaker output jack sockets of the amplifier,
as this will defeat the load protection circuit and will cause damage to the amplifier.
28. Recall Indicator
The Recall Indicator shows if there is a mismatch between the current value of a
parameter within the amplifier and the corresponding physical front panel control.
E.g. when you change to a different patch the controls on the front panel may not
always reflect the setting you are hearing.
To prevent unexpected level jumps in the control you are adjusting, the front panel
knobs will have no effect on the sound until the knob reaches the current parameter
value. Once reached, the Recall Indicator flashes twice and the knob ‘takes control’
of the value and can increase or decrease the value.
The recall indicator will flash twice each time the physical knob ‘passes through’ the
value stored within the current patch so you can easily see the programmed value.
Recall is only active for Gain, Volume, Bass, Treble and ISF.
When the Tuner is active the Recall Indicator will flash continuously.
Rear Panel
1. Mains Input
The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only
be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a
qualified technician.
