- “1/1” = Whole bar
- “1/2” = ½ notes
- “1/4” = ¼ notes
- “1/4D” = Dotted ¼ notes
- “1/4T” = ¼ note triplets
- “1/8” = 1/8 notes
- “1/8D” = Dotted 1/8 notes
- “1/8T” = 1/8 note triplets
- “1/16” = 1/16 notes
- “1/32” = 1/32 notes
NOTE:
Once the Modulation pedal is synced to the Tap tempo/BPM it can be
un-synced by turning the Modulation Time control after the Tap footswitch has
been released.
Shift + Delay Time = Delay Time Division
- When holding the Tap footswitch,
turning the Delay Time knob will adjust the Delay Time Division. The time division
of the Delay pedal can be set in relation to the Tap tempo/BPM:
- “1/4” = ¼ notes
- “1/4D” = Dotted ¼ notes
- “1/4T” = ¼ note triplets
- “1/8” = 1/8 notes
- “1/8D” = Dotted 1/8 notes
- “1/8T” = 1/8 note triplets
- “1/16” = 1/16 notes
- “1/16D” = Dotted 1/8 note
- “1/16T” = 1/16 notes
- “1/32” = 1/32 notes
Shift + Treble = Presence
- When holding the Tap footswitch, turning the
Treble knob will adjust the Presence. The Presence control sets the overall treble
of the power valve response. Accentuate percussive and articulate high-end or
control aggressive, sharp treble with this control.
NOTE:
The default setting for the Presence is 5.
NOTE:
The secondary function settings can be reset to the defaults using Blackstar’s
Architect software (Please see the section below on Blackstar’s Architect).
17. Response
The Response control delivers three distinctly different and authentic power valve
responses – EL84, EL34 and 6L6. Each setting delivers the response, dynamics,
sag and break-up characteristics of the selected valve power amp. This means
that these amps deliver live without compromise.
Blackstar’s power valve responses change the characteristics of the sound from
dynamic and tight to compressed and spongy:
EL84
- Bell-like full bodied Class A with lots of compression and soft break-up
EL34
- Classic British Class A/B full bodied crunch with focussed mids
6L6
- Tight dynamic Class A/B with extended high and lows
18. Master
This controls the overall volume of your amplifier. Turning it clockwise increases the
volume. High levels of Master volume will introduce the effect of valve power amp
distortion and compression, the character of which depends on the Response (17)
setting you have selected.
19. Power
This 3-way mini toggle switch allows the user to switch between three different
power output settings:
100W
- This is the full power setting which will give the loudest clean headroom.
Ideal for live and stage use.
20W
- This setting reduces the output power to a maximum of 20 Watts. Use
for smaller gigs, when rehearsing, or when a more power amp overdriven tone
is desired at a lower level.
1W
- This is the lowest power setting and reduces the output power down to
1 Watt. Perfect for practising, recording or when a power amp overdriven tone
is desired at low volume.
