Black Spirit 200 Floor – Manual 1.0
gig to the seven buttons. First, select the desired preset in Preset mode,
select Direct 7 mode, and then press and hold one of the seven buttons
for two seconds. This assigns the preset to that button.
5.2 Programming presets
1 Preset mode:
Programming a preset is simple. Once you dial in the sound you want to
hear, the Store button lets you save the settings for every knob and switch
apart from the Master Volume knob in a preset. This is pretty much like
playing an amp with 128 channels, each with its own Gain, Volume, EQ
and even effects settings.

An easy way to store edited settings is to simply overwrite the most recently
selected preset. To do this, press and hold the Store button for about two
seconds until its light flashes briefly and then extinguishes. Release the
Store button, and your settings will be stored.
Storing settings by selecting a new memory slot
If you do not wish to overwrite the current preset, you can instead select
a new memory slot by pressing the Store button once to activate it. The
Store LED lights up to indicate that Black Spirit 200 Floor is primed. Now
you have to tell the amp where to save the current settings. Use the Up/
Down buttons to select a MIDI bank number from 1 to 32; the bank
number indicator on the display will blink. Then activate one of the four
A, B, C or D preset buttons. The display will stop flashing, the Store button
LED will extinguish, and the preset is saved to the selected memory slot.
Heads up: In Preset mode, when you edit presets that you have also
assigned to Direct 7 mode, these changes will be audible in both Preset
and Direct 7 modes, and vice versa.
Let's say you assign preset 12 B of bank 12 – a clean sound with reverb
– to button 1 in Direct 7 mode. You later decide to dial back the reverb
amount in Preset 12 B and save your changes in Preset mode. In that case,
your edit will affect the preset assigned to position 1 in Direct 7 mode so
it ends up with less reverb.
2 Stompbox mode:
In Stompbox mode, the amp automatically remembers channel settings
without you having to save them. The effects and Red Box settings are
global, meaning that they apply everywhere.
3 Direct 7 mode:
You can also save changes in Direct 7 mode without having to switch to
Preset mode. Simply press and hold the Store button to this end.
Heads up: If you edit a preset in Direct 7 mode, these changes will also
affect that preset in Preset mode.

6 Bluetooth
Black Spirit 200 Floor features Bluetooth to stream audio and connect to
the remote app. See section 2.2 for more on this. The amp pairs with just
one device at a time, so you can't connect a second audio streaming device
when you're using the app. However, you can stream audio and remote
control Black Spirit 200 Floor simultaneously from the same device. Use
the analog Aux In jack if you wish to patch in audio signals from a device
other than the one paired via Bluetooth.
Heads up: You have to reset Bluetooth to pair the amp with a new device.
If the Bluetooth connection to the app drops out, close the app and
relaunch it.
The LED next to the Bluetooth icon indicates the status of the Bluetooth
connection.

1 Bluetooth Status LED:
• An extinguished LED means Bluetooth is deactivated.
• A slowly flashing LED means Black Spirit 200 Floor is scanning for
devices.
• A steadily illuminated LED up means Black Spirit 200 Floor is paired
with a mobile device.
• A rapidly flashing LED means the connection dropped out.
2 Activating/connecting: Press and hold Boost for three seconds to
activate Bluetooth. The Bluetooth LED will start flashing slowly as Black
Spirit 200 Floor scans for mobile devices. Be sure to enable Bluetooth
on the target device. Black Spirit 200 Floor will show up on the list of
Bluetooth devices alongside your particular amp's four-digit ID. Select
"Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit XXXX." The amp's Bluetooth LED stops
flashing and remains on when the two devices pair up.
3 Disconnecting/deactivating Bluetooth: Press and hold Boost until the
Bluetooth LED extinguishes to deactivate Bluetooth.
4 Connecting to a new device: Black Spirit 200 Floor remembers the
most recently connected mobile device. It starts scanning and connecting
automatically when you power the amp up or enable Bluetooth. This
prevents it from inadvertently connecting with other devices and ensures
only your mobile device can stream audio or control the amp remotely.
Here's how to pair it with another device:
• Disable Bluetooth on the most recently connected device or switch it
off.
• Enable Bluetooth on the amp. The LED will start flashing slowly.
• Press and hold Boost for seven seconds until the Bluetooth LED flashes
rapidly five times and then extinguishes. Press and hold Boost again for
three seconds. The LED will again start flashing slowly as the amp scans
for and finds the new device.
• Enable Bluetooth on your new device and select the amp. The two
should now pair up.
