23 – 26. 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.
27. 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.
For example, 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
valued currently stored in the current patch.
Recall is only active for Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble and ISF.
When the Tuner is active the Recall Indicator will flash continuously.
Programmability
Storing Patches
To store the current sound as a patch:
1. Press and hold any of the four Channel switches for one second. All four
Channel LEDs will begin to flash.
2. Press the Bank switch to scroll through the three banks (green, orange, red)
to choose the store location.
3. Press any of the four Channel switches 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 switch 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.

The MOD, DLY and REV LEDs act as indicators to show how close the played note
is to the tuned note.
MOD LED white
Note is sharp (above pitch)
DLY LED orange
Note is in tune
REV LED white
Note is flat (below pitch)
All other LEDs on the front panel will be off in Tuner Mode.
Pressing any switch will exit Tuner Mode.
22. Bank
Press this switch to scroll through the first three banks of patches.
Bank 1
2
Bank 2
3
Bank 3
1
The green LED indicates Bank 1 is active, the orange LED indicates Bank 2 is active,
and the red LED indicates Bank 3 is active.
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, MIDI), the Bank LED will be off but the channel LEDs will continue to
show you the patch location.
For example:
Patch 11 – Bank LED red, Channel 3 LED on.
Selecting Bank 15 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 be off.
The channel will be remembered, therefore the corresponding patch within the
current bank will be loaded when scrolling through the banks.
