Effects Table - Blackstar ID:CORE STEREO 100 Owner's Manual

7. Volume
This controls the preamp volume. High levels of volume will introduce the effect of
valve power amp distortion and compression. This setting is saved when you store
a patch.
8. ISF
The patented ISF control allows you to choose the exact
tonal signature you prefer. Fully counter clockwise has
a more American characteristic with a tight bottom-
end and more aggressive middle, and fully clockwise
has a British characteristic which is more 'woody' and
less aggressive. This leads to a very familiar, musical
response. This setting is saved when you store a patch.
9. MOD (Modulation)
Press this switch to turn the stereo modulation effect on, off, or focus the effect for
editing. This setting is saved when you store a patch.
10. DLY (Delay)
Press this switch to turn the stereo delay effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing.
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
11. REV (Reverb)
Press this switch to turn the stereo reverb effect on, off, or focus the effect for
editing. This setting is saved when you store a patch.
For all three effect switches/buttons, the LED shows what state the effect is in:
LED Effect State
LED not on Effect off
LED red Effect on but not 'focused' for editing
LED green Effect on and 'focused' for editing
Repeatedly pressing each effect switches on the front panel has the following effect:
Current Effect State Next Effect State
Effect off Turns the effect on and 'focuses' the effect. Any previously focused effect
reverts to an 'on' state
Effect on but not 'focused' Focuses the effect. Any previously focused effect reverts to an 'on' state
Effect on and 'focused' Turns the effect off. If any other effect(s) are on, the previously 'focused' effect
resumes being 'focused'
NOTE: Only one effect may be 'focused' at any time.

12. Effect Type
This changes the effect type and edits a parameter of the currently 'focused' effect
(modulation, delay, or reverb).
Each segment represents a different effect (four for each type of effect). An
LED shows which effect type is currently active. The distance travelled through
the 'segment' modifies an effect parameter. The Effects Table below shows the
modifiable parameters.
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
13. Effect Level
This modifies an effect parameter. For modulation and delay effects, turning the
Level control while holding down the Tap button (14) modifies the rate/time of the
effect.
The Effects Table below shows the modifiable parameters.
This setting is saved when you store a patch.
14. Tap
The Tap switch is used to set the rate/time of the current 'focused' effect. The time
between each press of the tap button defines the rate set.
Once set, the Tap LED will flash in time with the set rate of the currently 'focused'
effect.
The Effects Table below shows the modifiable parameters:
