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 toggle 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.
Recalling Patches
Press any Channel switch to load that patch.
Pressing the Bank switch 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 footcontroller.
